The moron who made this meme did it on a computer that requires literally thousands of innovations that are a direct, replicable product of the scientific method. It is the most powerful philosophical system on the planet, despite its sloppiest practitioners, and it doesn't require the belief of fucking idiots to work.

The scientific method is wonderful, but to call it a philosophical system is a misunderstanding on what philosophy and/or science is/are.

It seems likely that you have never studied either if that's your belief.

[-] zloubida@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

There are other arguments, but if you confuse a method and a system, you clearly don't know what you're speaking about.

Science is a hugely important subset of epistemology, the study of how we know things. Let me be blunt: you are profoundly ignorant on the history and philosophy of science. I don't expect you to thank me, but here is some reading so you can decrease your ignorance: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/scientific-method/

Your bluntness and link-dumping will not hide the fact that you make no sense. Science is not a subset of epistemology… epistemology, among other subjects, studies the links between science and truth.

Not even a good meme. It reads like every conservative mass of buzzwords they call a joke.

There's a nuanced view to be made somewhere in here, but this ain't it. We do have a reproducibility crisis because everyone wants to do a new study instead of retesting to verify old results. And there are some worries about post hoc statistical analysis. But this meme just sounds like general skepticism about science.

It’s totally okay that you’re not smart enough to understand all the big scientific words, but you don’t have to deflect the blame.

This is not how science and the scientific method is working!

There are flaws in the scientific method and the peer Review. Mostly that it is done by humans.

However you should use evidence and experiments everybody can redo to base your argument on.

Also everything that is currently a fact may be disproven by the next scientific break through.

To err is human. Not changing your mind given obvious evidence is stupid.

Unfortunately we rarely have obvious evidence for sth.

I'm not. I think we need less ideas. Thinking makes me sad. Why do I need to innovate or change anything? Because capital wants it done? I was probably happier with a motorola razr than my android phone.

holy crap are you being sincere? 'thinking makes me sad'??
