You say that like its a bad thing

Serious Question: If all the authors of the Western canon were dropped into a battle royale to fight to the death who would win?

People like Chomsky are boring because they're all facts, facts and facts. Facts alone haven't saved us thus far, they're no weapon against ideology.

Zizek is much more interesting, he is wrong on so many things yet his methods of critique are great tools to adapt.

>Can an 'exact science' exist, or is there a degree of uncertainty in every subject area?
fallacy

there is no uncertainty, because there is no absolute in most cases (unless you output a integer say '' the number of persons in some room'')

in science, there is a choice of many things: of postulates/axioms/principles/methods for induction/methods for collection and treatment of experimental data


the output of the scientific method is a variety of models which describe and predict, more or less broadly, more or less accurately, more or less quantitatively, more or less qualitatively some phenomenon assumed to be repeatable within a framework determined by each model.


Then each person chooses her models that she likes the most and endlessly debates politically with the other persons in asking which method is better than the other, which must be applied in such fields, in such social doctrine.
