Science

[Into the Night]

Who should pay for every science department to do research? Private companies?

Private companies do hire scientists. Apparently you weren't aware of that.

Science isn't scientists. It isn't even people at all. It is just a set of falsifiable theories.

[Into the Night]

To many scientists care more about their careers having big paydays than they do science, so they line up to work on what ever pays the best, regardless of why the money is being handed out. Bret and Heather talk about this when they say that Science has been corrupted by market forces, that market ideology is being used to decide what science works on when it has no place here. Furthermore everyone had to understand that this was a bad idea, not enough cared.

Once they know what is wanted in return for their pay and esteem they tend to try to provide it, so that they can get more of that.

"Science" has all to often become quackery, very dishonest, the opposite of truth as science is.

Bingo.

I guess I should have predicted it - but I didn't really think this thread would become an exercise in conservatives really arguing against science.

you're a troll.

Buzzword fallacy. A 'fact' is not a 'proof' nor a 'Universal Truth'. Learn what a 'fact' is. Facts exist in fiction too, you know.

One of our airline captains was also a check airman. No one liked being on a check ride with this guy. He'd spout inane but factual statements like how many rivets were on each elevator trim tab and ask similarly inane questions during a check ride. One of our older Captains quickly tired of this bullshit, turned around and said "Rich, you need to get your head out of your books and go home before somebody else starts fucking your wife."

Amazing. Mention science and conservatives will tell you it's all fake.

Mathematics is not science.

Science is an open functional system. It has no proofs and cannot predict by itself. Mathematics is a closed functional system. With that comes the power of the proof, and the power of prediction.

Only when a theory of science is transcribed into a closed functional system (usually mathematics), does the theory gain the power of prediction.

Those who are paying attention and are also honest will tell you that science is now very corrupt, and that we should fix it, before it is too late, and that it might be already as the Maoist Mobs are working hard to Defund Stem.

Wokeism is a religion, science is a threat to that religion, so science must be hobbled.

you're nuts

you're nuts

I am hyper educated, far ahead of the curve, which looks nuts to those who have no clue what is going on.

Reversal fallacy. Philosophy IS considering something philosophically, not the other way around.

???.....you do realize you said exactly the same thing I said.......right?......

Let me guess. You're the intellectual amongst the high school dropouts.

[PostmodernProphet]

Philosophy defines 'science', what it is, and why it is defined the way it is. It also defines 'religion' and why it is defined the way it is.
Philosophy also defines 'real' and 'reality' and why it is defined the way they are.

now you understand......thank you for agreeing with me.......you have just spoken of the philosophy of science, the philosophy of religion, and the philosophy of reality....

[PostmodernProphet]

There is no such thing as 'philosophy of history' either.
