“Yea, because being born and taking a dump is the same as injecting some Chinese mystery potion into your body for no reason.”
So is there any science you believe in or do you discard all science?
No. Science is white man voodoo. I believe in white magic and that the spirit god lives in all things. Illness is bad juju that can be purged by calling on the forces of goodness and light and sacrificing small animals to them.
Bro. Did you really just ask me that question?
It is always necessary - it is absolutely vital - to carefully distinguish between scientody, or the scientific method, and scientistry, which is the scientific profession. The evils described in this article are not indicative of any problems with scientody, they are the consequence of the inevitable and intrinsic flaws with scientistry.
To simply call everything "science" is to be misleading, often, but not always, in innocence. Science has no authority, and increasingly, it is an intentional and deceitful bait-and-switch, in which the overly credulous are led to believe that because an individual with certain credentials is asserting something, that statement is supported by documentary evidence gathered through the scientific method of hypothesis, experiment, and successful replication.
In most - not many, but most - cases, that is simply not the case. Even if you don't use these neologisms to describe the three aspects of science, you must learn to distinguish between them or you will repeatedly fall for this intentional bait-and-switch. In order of reliability, the three aspects of science are:
Scientody: the process
Scientage: the knowledge base
Scientistry: the profession
