Well shit. Turns out science isn’t any more special or objective than any other academic field.
I’m losing interest, anons. I thought science was the contemporary world’s refutation of the ignorance of the past. Turns out we’re just as naive and ignorant as they were.
Why do we think we’re so special? Why do we think we’ve finally figured things out? Every age before us thought the exact same thing and they all turned out to be wrong. So will we. The scientific paradigm is a contemporary fad which will end and be replaced by some other means of acquiring “””knowledge”””

Anybody read any Kuhn? I’ve heard that his Paradigm theory is pretty much the way most contemporary scientists understand their own pursuits. Personally, it’s totally changed the way I think about scientific research and peer review, as well as the relationship between “scientific” and “non- scientific” disciplines.

Any other contemporaty philosophy of science writings that have influenced you?
