@critical_policy @JenniferDodge1 @kabraun60 @clemencepinel Reading Clèmence Pinel& #39;s sharp book review of @LinseyMcgoey & #39;s great book The Unknowers I am wondering if there is a contradiction between the following two statements. 1/

If statement one reads a bit like Hayek& #39;s Nobel talk where he argues against the "hubris of science" it should give us pause that he was a most strategic long term knowlege planner central to setting up think tank networks in a lot of unknowing efforts. 2/

Yes, all knowledge is likely biased in some way, but the way in which it is biased also seems to matter a lot. Do academic really have to be elite ignorants or should we rather think more about our choices in terms of commitments and affiliations?
