Looking back, Looking forward thoughts

After re-reading Looking back, Looking forward by Katherine Reynolds, there are a couple of points that I have really interested me and that have been brought up in last class. First what really interested me was the decline of scientific rationalism. I agree with this section when the article brings up that both Liberals and Conservatives challenge scientific evidence when it goes against their current beliefs. I can relate that to the current situation that is currently going on in this political climate. Many people don't want to accept that some of their current beliefs, from either side, can be debunked with scientific evidence. Another thing that really interested me was from the section of measurement and prediction and how Cambridge Analytica used many different types of groups to share certain types of advertisement.
