It’s a lot harder to make that argument in the context of the rest of the lyrics
Music is a lot like love, it’s all a feeling
And it fills the room, from the floor to the ceiling
I see miracles all around me
Stop and look around, it’s all astounding
Water, fire, air and dirt
Fucking magnets, how do they work?
And I don’t talk to a scientist
Y’all motherfuckers lying, and getting me pissed
Solar eclipse, and vicious weather
Fifteen thousand Juggalos together
And I love my mom for giving me this
Time on this planet, taking nothing for granted
It’s not anti-science, it’s frustration at the world for being the complicated, messy place it is, and a longing to go back to the simple innocence of childhood where even basic physical processes are magical. It’s not a rant that nobody should do science, it’s his own disillusionment, and a plea for people to allow a little bit more wonder into their world.
It’s a powerful lyric because even in a song about how magical the world is, it still slips in and ruins it, the pebble in your shoe that doesn’t allow you to ever truly experience that pure feeling again, always gnawing at you in the background no matter what you do.
It’s one dumb fucking lyric, but I forgive them, because apparently Juggalos are a cool bunch and are nice to each other, and that’s the only thing that matters to me, song be damned.
I think anti-intellectualism is the Revenge of the Idiots, they too want to be able to claim things about the world, it’s just that they can’t, because they don’t know science, and science is hard, but they still want to have opinions, so all they do is just make up their minds that the Earth is flat, and fuck you science, I can believe what I want kind of deal.
It’s like someone sitting in their house saying, “modern art is shit, I can do better”, and proceed to take a shit on the floor just to prove a point to themselves, that they will not be “held back by the man”.

Can’t dress up the scientists lying lyric in a way that isn’t blatantly anti science, but the rest tracks.
