minus-squareParagone@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·4 months agoBy my standards, it isn’t Science unless it matches the Venn-diagram intersection of: Objectivity: UNIVERSE-centric, NOT ego/institution/establishment/tradition/assumptions centric Correct-Reasoning, no matter how automatic shorthand “reasoning” is, especially if it’s convenient to any habit/ideology/prejudice/establishment Worldview-Adapting/Evolution, as evidence falsifies one’s habitual-view. Lose ANY of those, & it isn’t Science, no matter if it “identifies as” Science. Scientism isn’t Science. & neither is “alternative facts” “Science”. ( mind you, Academia’s incapable of letting-go of its prejudices… just ask Sabine Hossenfelder how her being fired for not being a man, & therefore not being a “real” scientist felt… Scientism has many dimensions of violating Science, evidence shows. ) _ /\ _
