Скачать или смотреть Why Transparency Destroys Trust in Science (The Paradox)

In this video, we explore the "Transparency Paradox" in science—a controversial concept suggesting that being open about the realities of science, medicine, and government can actually reduce public confidence. While we often assume openness builds trust, this research argues that transparency about the "messiness" of scientific discovery often clashes with the public's over-idealized view of science as infallible.
We discuss the ironic findings that while transparency about good news increases trust, transparency about bad news decreases it, leading some institutions to the short-term solution of hiding the truth. Finally, we look at the paper's proposed long-term solution: better public education to help society accept the necessary imperfections of the scientific process.
