"Scientific consensus" is probably the most retarded thing that people cling onto right now. Unsurprisingly sociologists and psychologists cling to it the hardest because their articles are garbage and can only be supported by making a massive pile of garbage. I had a long ass discussion with one of these "scientists" of sociology and he unironically thought scientific consensus trumped personal reason, regardless of whether a single paper had properly used the scientific method.

Western academia needs to start teaching how to tie nooses and hang themselves.
