What is science, and how does it work? What are the limits of science? What masquerades as science? Why do some people attack science? Why should you care?

I can't reply to posts or like them or share them because I've reached my "daily limit". I get a message that requests that I provide a phone number to lift the daily limit. I'm not giving my phone number to Elon!

Holy Cow! Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen just sent a very stern, serious and condemning message to Donald Trump about his attempts to annex Greenland! “When you ask our businesses to invest into the US. They do. When you ask us to spend more on defense. We do. And when you ask us to strengthen security in the Arctic, we are on the same page. But when you demand to take over a part of the Kingdom of Denmark’s territory — when we are met by pressure and by threats from our closest ally, what are we to believe in about the country we have admired for so many years… This is not only about Greenland or Denmark. It’s about the world we built together. You can not annex another country!”
