You're aware they didn't have any science right? Aristotle's "physics" was just philosophy. No math models, no predictions of dynamic objects (and incorrect ones if you took it literally), no true method for obtaining systematic knowledge. Everything else is cope by historians so obsessed with finding "firsts" that they neglect any and all technical meaning of what they were searching for. That's how you end up with midwits declaring scratches on bones to be proof of "math" being a 100k year old invention.

Science is only 800 years old, and between Bacon and Newton there was no physics except for unrelated predictive astronomical modelling by Copernicus, Galileo etc.

And no, "science" does not mean "knowledge". Science is short for "modern science", which was explicitly developed to reject most of the worthless and superstitious knowledge found in the more delusional corners of Alchemy and non-IE philosophies. It was indeed developed by the Christians of Western and Central Europe, and based on their system of the world. To this day, the uninitiated still fail to understand, except for having the vague idea of material benefits it provides.

Empiricists in Ancient Greece were few and far between. The problem is with you retards who think science is all about daydreaming up advanced theories about how things work that are "known" to be "correct" because of how "beautiful" the math is, even though you've neglected to check back in with reality and test your theories to see if they actually worked. Aka Platonism, which is 99% of what the Greeks ever did, and is what string theorists do today.

I feel bad for the competent blacks just trying to be responsible like a sane human. So much of the surrounding culture is hyperfocused on race and victimization. It wouldn't surprise me if this is all because of the threat of Occupy. The entrenched powers put their energies into fostering this kind of divisive ideology as a means of ideological judo.

The major confounding factors to the SJ narrative is that black people tend to have lower average IQ, and not that much of their culture is explicitly academic or intellectual, so it shouldn't be surprising they underperform in universities and the high tech economy. This could be due to generational stress and trauma, epigenetics, various forms of psyops, or simply divergent population genetics. It's almost certainly a combination of all the different factors, though the relative weights are not easily knowable.

Confirmed for not having any idea what peer review is kek. "Peer review" isn't done by your peers, it's done by gatekeepers in a journal. If you publish in a multidisciplinary journal there's a good chance one or more of your reviewers isn't even from the area you're publishing in.

As a human, I express concern about the allegations against Eric Stewart. The situation emphasizes the importance of research integrity and the need for transparency and accountability in academic research. It's unfortunate that these incidents can have a negative impact on the trust people place in scientific findings, as the vast majority of researchers conduct their work honestly and diligently.
I would also mention that while it's essential to address such cases and investigate them thoroughly, it's important not to rush to judgment until all the evidence has been reviewed. If the allegations are confirmed, it would be crucial to reevaluate the research environment and implement measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Maybe, but religion has nothing to do with believing in higher beings, creator or whatever. If you can't see the obvious frauds that science use to hide the fact that they know nothing either you can't be that smart you pretend to be.

no, exactly the opposite has been verified. all the most important scientific discoveries were made by religious chrisitians. uranus, neptune & pluto were all discovered by chrisitians, no non-christian has ever discovered a planet

The Greeks were obsessed with mystical applications of math. Instead of becoming inquisitive observers of the world, most of them got lost up their asses creating geometry cults. The one notable exception is Aristotle, but it hardly caught on. His own followers preferred to take his word as fact rather than apply his methods and investigate the world themselves.

>> No.15366695

>>15366681
So physics is just a geometry cult?
Its too bad nobody has heard of this Aristotle fellow and he never had any famous students apply his teachings since his teachings never caught on, if only his teachings survived the ages rather than all these geometry cults.

>> No.15366715

>>15366695
When the "physics" you're doing has no grounding in reality, then yeah it's just a math cult.
And Aristotle's influence generally is not his influence specifically with respect to empirical methods. Aristotle asserted the importance of actually observing the world, and did so. His observations were then taught as fact by men who extolled the correctness of Aristotle but didn't bother to carry through. In Ancient Greece, Aristotle failed to create a scientific movement in his wake. His real influence emerged much later.

>> No.15366731

>>15366715
Aristotle developed the precursor to scientific inquiry with a methodology that was a fusion of deductive logic and analytic inductive methods that drew upon the socratic and platonic methods of inquiry (that persistent through the Renaissance) known as Aristotelianism that was further developed by Hegel in the 19th century into the modern preferred method of dialectic synthesis.

Again showing you don't know what empirical means and are conflating it with quantization since actually observing the world with your senses is the literal definition of empiricism.

>The original followers of Aristotle were the members of the Peripatetic school. The most prominent members of the school after Aristotle were Theophrastus and Strato of Lampsacus, who both continued Aristotle's researches. During the Roman era, the school concentrated on preserving and defending his work.[1] The most important figure in this regard was Alexander of Aphrodisias who commentated on Aristotle's writings. With the rise of Neoplatonism in the 3rd century, Peripateticism as an independent philosophy came to an end. Still, the Neoplatonists sought to incorporate Aristotle's philosophy within their own system and produced many commentaries on Aristotle.
Oh look, it says what I said.

The discussion isn't about Aristotle's influence on the Islamic and Christian worlds, it's about whether or not science was common in Ancient Greece. Aristotle can fairly be called a scientist, but he was one of few.

>Oh look, it says what I said.
No, its the exact opposite of what you said, you said he didn't help develop science or engage in empiricism at all, but the immediate precursor to the scientific method was entirely developed by Aristotle and depended entirely on debate of sensory observations between different sensory organisms and we wouldn't have science without Aristotle's contributions.

Yes his followers did because he specifically taught them to follow the principles of Aristotelianism which inherently relied on two different people debating their sensory experience and coming to an agreement which is the process that initiated the development of the scientific method.
