Consensus is anything but science.
Well that’s not necessarily true either. We’ve come to a consensus that cold temperatures will freeze water into ice. That’s fine. Using fake consensus, or building consensus behind a flawed idea, that’s the problem.

That isn't science. That's just knowledge of the natural world. Science is the PURSUIT OF THE DISCOVERY of that knowledge, not the knowledge itself. The knowledge itself often turns out to be entirely wrong, after all, such as the long time during which Ptolemy's geocentric ephemeris was replaced by a heliocentric one. In no way was the original consensus correct about the nature of the Solar System in comparison to the current understanding. And the current understanding of the Solar System could be overturned at any moment in the system we once knew as "Science."
No, what we have in 2021 is a modern version of Lysenkoism. Fauci is Lysenko.
No. Concensus has no role within science. Zero.
Water freezing to ice happens with a single person observing it as such or everyone doing so.
Consensus based of repeated experiments with the same result and survival of peer review is science with consensus. Being a contrarian who thinks that questioning science is science without any experimentation or evidence to the contrary is not science.
peer review
This kills the science.
Begging your direct competitors to be allowed to publish is a very bad idea. For proper peer review, you need to publish first and then have your peers review your findings. Otherwise you get a situation where anything that goes against the current zeitgeist is automatically shut down. That is, if you can get the funding for it anyways, and somehow get away with asking the questions in the first place without being fired, blacklisted, and having "students" literally hunt you down in the streets.
Not true at all.
A Scientific theory being successful ultimately is decided by making predictions.
I don't need to make any experiment or provide evidence FOR a theory if the theories predictions observably are absent.
