TIL of Lysenkoism. Wow. That's a powerful example right there.

One of the first times I mentioned it on HN, the reaction was basically, "Thank you for showing me this right-wing talking point, now I can counteract it." No curiosity about the history. No valuing of knowledge and truth.

This says a lot about our world today.

How is it a right-wing talking point? It's basically pro-science (and to be fair, the right has their anti-global-warmacists and the left has their antivax and antinuclear baseless beliefs)

Because that's how wacko some of the Far Left have become. Because some of the Far Left would like for there to be something like Lysenkoism forwarding a version of science which explicitly fits their narratives, and for this to be taught to young people. (If you look into it, they basically have a "good start.")

Can you clarify what model some on the Far Left are forwarding that fits their narrative and how it relates to Lysenkoism?
