Not OP, but when I've seen people say things like this, they typically have faith that Science will give answers to things that science cannot answer, things that are without the scope of science, if only there was "more time", just more time and Science will answer everything.

who mistakenly believe they're in good company because science

Thinking science can reveal all truth is based on the arrogant notion that there's nothing beyond our comprehension. This, in turn, is founded only in the notion that we already understand stuff, which compared to the infinity of "reality," is a faulty induction, i.e. what there is to understand is entirely irrelevant to what you already understand.

You just can't comprehend the possibility that your greatest works of literature, classical music, or math could be as nothing to godlike aliens (could totally exist because star trek says so) or God (ew no doesn't exist).

To conclude that what we could never comprehend doesn't exist and therefore what we can comprehend is all there is, is the stuff of dumbasses. To worship science as the arbiter of all truth is to worship yourselves.

What are some common buzzwords on this board that should be gotten rid of, like
>scientific method
>artificial intelligence
>soft science

I sometimes feel that scientists are really disconnected from the science fanbase (the rationalists/skeptics/w.e.)
Scientists are mainly religious people with different philosophical ideas while the science fanbase is dominated by scientism and positivism.

This is bad for two reasons
>the science fanbase gives science a bad rep
>the science fanbase misinterpretes science and misunderstands scientists (they think that scientists are atheist positivists just like them)

What can we do to help?

How does /sci/ feel about scientism?
