Bless your heart, you don't know the difference between science and scientism.

Why do you link to globe shills?

In other words, you want everyone else to click your links but don't want to watch mine or even attempt to debate the issue? This is why you flat Earth guys are ridiculed.

“Bless your heart, you don’t know the difference between science and scientism.”

Apparently you don’t either.

Hayek’s 1952 “The Counter-Revolution of Science: Studies on the Abuse of Reason” is a book length criticism of scientism that popularized the term.

Scientism is a pretence that the tools and methods of hard science can transfer to the social sciences. The Flat Earth debate is entirely within the field of the hard sciences. It’s a question of measurement, not epistemology.
