In this essay, we discuss the results of scientific dogmatism and the backlash it has created in society. We cite various examples from the pandemic to highlight our case. We argue that dogmatism will ultimately put the scientific paradigm in crisis and a different approach is needed to address populism. We further argue science is more digestible when emotional faculties of individuals are considered first. We use a philosophical approach to also describe the dangers of dogmatism and the interplay between technocracy and populism.
