Unfortunately, truth itself has become politicized.
Fantastic article!
It certainly shows the fault lines we are seeing. The science the left is weaponizing isn’t science at all (”postmodern”? OK, if that’s what they’re calling it now)
That Feyerbrand guy looks at science as through multicultural lenses? Or is he describing the philosophy of others (who, by the way, think philosophy is passe)?
This explains a lot, so the article is worth reading in its entirety. Modern science (falsely-so-called) slides this way and that in order to fit predispositions. Aha! And we are called “anti-science”?
No, science is derived from actual experimentation with PHYSICAL stuff, and data, then more experiments, etc. The chips fall where they do and you count them and try to determine cause and effect if possible.
These lefty, multicultural (my voodoo is science; your science is voodoo) postmodern charlatans are the real science-haters; we are not. We admire and exploit science, but only if it’s real.
So THAT’s where we got this multiverse horsesnit?
At first, I thought this was an article about quantum physics.
Because, if it can happen, it will.
Feyerabend stated that there is no such thing as scientific method and that physicists have no better claim to knowledge than voodoo priests.
The triumphs of science that have benefitted human life stand as a monument to the power of reason, and they stand as a clear refutation of the skepticism that is epidemic in contemporary philosophy of science.
