The amount of people who are not nationalistic, and essentially opinionless over globalism is large enough to be significant.

An extremely small number of people, however powerful, may be in favor of globalization, but that number is absolutely dwarfed by people who are either almost completely without preference or exclusively staunch nationalist hawks.

Based on this, such a "divide" isn't best characterized by such wording. This is not a polarizing territory of opinion or endorsement. Not to ordinary people.

The modern day lack of trust in science (home schooling, religion and so on) doesn't have a whole lot to do with embracing the fundamentals of a powerful weapon (nuclear explosives) that deters agression, and engages a perception of righteousness prevailing over some abstract economic system.

Atom bombs and nuclear science, and the threat of their malicious use, weren't the last peg to pin proof and evidence above superstitious preferential belief.

The weirdness surrounding creationism versus evolution has more to do with the perception of birth control (and all its varieties, not just abortion which attracts the most extreme responses) and modern medicine tampering with the family structure as well as introducing crushing economic damage, while failing to protect from chronic diseases or stave off or explain other conditions like all the auto-immune and endocrine problems floating around.

There's also big companies out to push their capacity to profit from the indiscriminate toxic effluence of whatever it is certain companies might be producing. This story starts with leaded gasoline, moves on through climate change, and covers electronic waste and so much more. Companies know that an educated public can harm their bottom line, so pushing misinformation regarding trans-fats, refines sugar, pharmaceutical side effects, sewage contamination of improperly disposed medication, plastics accumulation in garbage and so on, are all swept under the carpet, and media encourages everone to think less deeply about such things.

Meanwhile flat earth conjecture is a mutant troll meme born of the internet in it's new misinforming hey-day, captivating mostly just the legit crazies.

It all plays together to the point that the polarization reflects a schism in either buying what medicine and science will sell you as you go about your daily routine or maybe not so much. This affects the companies you buy from and the stores you shop at, and thus, where wealth collects to reinforce itself.

You either trust in what medicine can teach you about yourself, or you eat fast food, and buy the cheapest comforts at the store with the lowest prices, and exert the lowest cognitive load that challenges this behavior.

The downside in all this is that neither side is totally incorrect. Modernity really does have some harm to deal, and modern medicine isn't always good for you. Just look at all the performance drugs and synthetic opiates no one will do anything about. Quite the opposite, in fact.

While the political polarity against science does produce some laughable beliefs, embracing it leads tons of people into dark realities of negative psychological misery, pushing amphetamines on kids because their grades are low, or leaving kids in depressing situations at public schools that make them absolutely miserable, and then offering pills to cope, without acknowleging that the place they're forced to go to every day, really would depress anyone. So, is it "science" or moreso the general way society leaves a bad taste in the mouths of many?

Sometimes you get stuck on multiple scrums, back-to-back. Separate projects, but the same plans and activities each.

Oh, hey, wait, let's not forget the daily standup rituals of agile scrum behavior modification.

Every day, justify your existence. Every day, beat that same dead horse. Every day, grab your coffee, sound off, and then listen to 20 other people bark at the empty air under their nose to show their devotion to a product that has the slimmest utility, and is coated in slippery, greasy dark patterns intended to screw the users that UX/UI supposedly cares so much about.
