The horrific murder that happened in New York City? Supposedly witnessed by 38 people, no one lifted a finger to help?

They referenced it in The Boondock Saints.


You know it was all based on a lie, right?


Here's the story of how the lie came to be:

The scary thing, is this lie raised up an entire cottage industry on human callousness. You have PHD professionals creating new sciences, just for this thing that was erroneously reported on from the start.


You want to know why someone refuses to "Follow the science", this is why. Right here, science lied.

Because the men and women who should have known better, reinforced the lie first reported by the Times.

Same with the famous "following orders" Milgram experiment. It does lead people to not believe science, but that is, imo, too much of a knee jerk reaction. Science is an incredibly useful tool, but it is not magic, it is not infallible, and it is made by people who are biased, who have agendas, who make mistakes...

We should be conscious of that, but not throw all of science over board.

Social sciences are not hard science.
