Former NIH director Francis Collins’ new book seeks ‘pre-bunking’ opposing scientific claims – ‘Urges readers to immunize themselves against arguments skeptical of human-caused global warming’
John G. West – The Federalist: The propagandistic nature of Collins’ approach can be seen in his proposal for people to engage in “pre-bunking” claims so they “can avoid being taken in.” His call for skepticism sounds good — until he applies it. Fixating on climate change, Collins urges readers to immunize themselves against arguments skeptical of human-caused global warming. How? By imagining the selfish reasons that might motivate people to downplay global warming. For example, perhaps they “have a special interest in seeing continued use of fossil fuels,” or maybe they “wish to create as much disharmony within our population as possible,” or perhaps they are “politicians who see climate change denial as good for votes and campaign donations.”
According to Collins, you don’t have to consider the arguments being made if you have “pre-bunked” the motives of the people making them. Tellingly, Collins doesn’t suggest questioning the motives of those he agrees with on global warming. His “pre-bunking” is entirely one-sided. His goal is to shut down critical inquiry, not cultivate it.
