or is this just a meeting place for people with "'"'"alternative"'"'" views on basic and well-proven principles of human health, physics, geography, etc.

This is basically /xpol/ with additional larping.

I'm here for math. Of course I don't believe in science, anyone can demonstrate absolute bullshit to p<.05 one out of every twenty times.

to quote Popper
> I am opposed to the thesis that the scientist must believe in his theory. As far as I am concerned “I do not believe in belief,” as E. M. Forster says; and I especially do not believe in belief in science. I believe at most that belief has a place in ethics, and even here only in a few instances.

please don't be intentionally stupid. just because something is objectively true does not mean it can't be believed or not believed.

People disbelieve the truth all the time. A place where people habitually disbelieve true things is probably not a great place to discuss science. It's a fair question.

science up to the 1970s was good. modern science is absolutely fucking useless and a huge money sink. I'd rather see these nerds think about ways to handle our waste or construct better batteries. that would be actually important.

you dont get a basic fact of scientific methodology. science does not uncover truths, science produces models of reality. some models are good, some are okay, some are really good, none of them is truth.

The /pol/tard in charge doesn't "believe" in enforcing the rules, probably because doing so would contain /pol/tards to their hugbox and they think not being allowed to shit up every single corner of everything is "oppression". As >>15880758 said this is just /xpol/ now. You can thank the /pol/tard in charge.
