It is happening more and more in a variety of subject - everything from psychology, comparative religion courses, climatology, history, sociology, and even space exploration. Once a "consensus" has developed that matches the social trends in society, real empirical data collection, as you (LordFerret) have correctly stated, the collection of data and the debate stops. One thing that made Western civilization great was the Enlightenment; what we are witnessing now is the Second Great Dark Ages (as I have named it) where real intellectual debate, study, research, and experimentation is beginning to come to an end.

I think we're coming to a society, or at least a culture, that focuses on feelings and wants rather than facts and needs. We're so concerned about hurting or satisfying feelings that we're starting to drive out, never consider, or never even try to discover facts, and we're so concerned with filling wants that we're becoming less and less able to focus on needs. I don't know how it'll be stopped, but I hope it does before we get to a point where certain ideology is like the Catholic Church at the height of its power and those who disagree with it are struck down in a Spanish Inquisition.

No reason to be worried, it's just something somebody on the internet taught the machine. The machine has no actual concept of the meaning of the things it says.

That's why I'm worried
