Tech has long been a status symbol. Really, the only tech that is significant and remains widely unavailable (e.g a luxury) is air conditioning.
Certain forces have made most tech widely available (or necessary) so that the status symbol is no longer so stark/apparent./1

Isn’t this against the whole point of establishment American consumer healthcare? You consume as much as you want or can pay for..

Extra dumb: seeking data (happens to not exist) from people (scientists) you happen to believe need to be displaced in terms of expertise. Making stuff up would be more logical..

Right. That branding was part of the effectiveness/appeal of Austerity policy.

Right, kind of like Austerity that branded national budgets as household ones. Makes cuts palatable as belt-tightening or some other BS equivalence.

‘Truth to Nature’ was the mode for a while. Science gained some organizational footholds, so ‘Truth to Standard’ became prominent. ‘Mechanical Objectivity’ is another mode and relates to the reliability/infallibility of technology. But then questions like ‘tech built by who?’ or ‘…that does what?’.

There’s a book by Daston and Galison called Objectivity. I read a chapter that traced the shift of objectivity’s meaning in science.

Yes, it’s all about status. Notice Trump presented himself as a savvy mediator and cooed when lobbed a softball about being a peacemaker. Then shows he’s neither by equating the hardships of war with the hardships of a country’s media saying ‘not nice’ things.

It might be telling that in how trump defends putin (which has some reasonable basis in terms of the USA being a supposed mediator) he equates the hardships of war with the ‘hardship’ of another country’s various media saying ‘not nice’ things about you.

In a weird way, you have to admire their commitments to stuff that have as part of that stuff, a limit on the popularity of that stuff.
