The Future of Political Psychology

After re-reading Looking Back, Looking Foward, by Katherine Reynolds a couple of ideas stuck to my head. For example, when reading about the decline of scientific rationalism it made me think about how the flat Earth society came to be and how there are religious extremists on campuses preaching radical ideas of same-sex marriage and being any other religion is a sin. I do agree with the article when it discusses liberals and conservatives going against scientific rationalism as they don't accept factual evidence since it disproves their beliefs. A fact that was shocking to me while reading this article was that 1/4 of Americans do not trust science but that also made me realize why the topic of vaccines not working became a hot topic of debate not so long ago.
