Well yes and no. Design is pretty much backed up by empirical formulas. Like calculating head loss through pipes have different equations based on Reynold's number, type of pipe material, whether the flow is laminar, turbulent or a mixture of both and even how smooth the pipe is. There's no real proof of it because it's all based on previous experiments. Design engineers in companies have access to their company's equations that aren't really made public because its based on that said company's own experiments and data.

Not refuting OP's claim though. Engineers that aren't constantly trying to be better and learn where practices come from are lower tier for sure.

Well, you have to "believe in" its epistemological foundations (the universe exists, is observable in some sense, and behaves according to laws invariant over space and time which can be approximated by models with varying degrees of predictive capability) or the whole thing crashes out and becomes unconvincing - see that "decolonize science" video that got spammed here a while back. However, these foundational assumptions are vastly more lenient than most any the average layman makes throughout the course of the day, or depends on making, and that's where the "objectivity" comes from.

But that's what people -use it to mean.-

That's hardly the biggest problem. Vastly more people reject robust scientific consensus out of hand than those who reserve doubt in the absence of compelling evidence, and the former is clearly worse than the latter.
>Just because science can't explain it doesn't mean it won't work
True, the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Still, believing something without a valid reason to do so is still kind of icy, say, if you make any kind of investments which assume it's true.
>Just because you can't explain it, doesn't mean it won't work.
I don't understand. Are you saying dowsing is an effective method?How could you ever establish that it "works" while ruling out coincidence?

Whether you openly claim non-existence or the opposite is absolutely irrelevant and does not add anything to the problem. You are adding a completely useless dimension to this whole question.

What exactly does quallify Einstein to make such philosophical statements? Because that is what this question boils down to. You can not scientifically quantify "special". You basically admitted being a brainlet by dragging a scientist who supports you point into the argument without any citations of the exact "proof" of your claim.

I personally do not even reject the notion of humans being special, they certainly are special considering their potentiall. But I also think that it is dangerous to use your conciousness as the sole factor to raise you above other living creatures. Even with your conciousness you are just a stupid fucking animal and if you fail to draw from your potentiall you will always stay one.

>openly claim
Literally what? The issue isn't whether you -tell- other people, it's what statements you believe, don't believe, or disbelieve.
Like take a proof-based math class niqqa hahahaha
>do similar matrices have the same characteristic polynomial and hence the same eigenvalues?
>uh i dunno
>lmao boy so you don't believe they do and therefore you believe they don't, but I haven't seen you provide a counterexample
That's simply not how it works.

Stop conflating "don't believe in" with "believe the negation of" ffs this is basic shit

You are not even worth talking to honestly.

I guess I am, I even tried to reason with you. What are you even doing here?

>"I think no gods exist" =/= "I don't think any gods exist"

Literally the same statement.
I think you are the one stumbling over your own feet here.
In mathematical logic there is no "uh I dunno" because that is not a proper statement. A is either true or it is not and then you can derive conclusions from A being true/false. Your "equivalence" falls apart at that basic level. Of course you can refuse to give an answer, but that just means that you are not quallified to partake in the discussion, thats all.
Maybe you are the one who should take logics class again hmmm?

Unbiased observer here. He's right, you are a moron.
Human beings are special. The average human 5 year old is more intelligent than any other animal in existence. Anyone that cannot see this is retarded and/or an edgy 15 year old.

lol
>In mathematical logic there is no "uh I dunno" because that is not a proper statement.
Yeah, obviously. I didn't say anything which contradicts this.
The -statements- have no "uh, i dunno," because the statements necessarily have to -claim things- in order to be statements. However, in terms of -belief- you may either accept, reject, or do nothing regarding a particular claim/statement.
>Of course you can refuse to give an answer, but that just means that you are not quallified to partake in the discussion
Not in any sense whatsoever
>"I don't know if the riemann hypothesis is true or false"

kinda circular innit

No, a technician is a specialist. He performs the work. An engineer design.

Spoiler alert: Logic is ultimately circular.

How else would you prove the laws of logic, such as modus ponens, without appealing to logic itself?

If you don't want to prove something and all you care about is practical application, it can be dumber to spend your limited time on proofs. It's okay to not want to improve science, all that matters is that you stay happy—and what makes you feel accomplished won't be the same for everyone else. Some might think you're dumb for p proving things all day, or vice-versa. This whole shindig is just people having different opinions.

I have this annoying friend that would try to explain things but fuck up on his own accord, fumbling for words and at times mumbling when I ask to clarify then proceeds to look at me like I'm the brainlet. He would have a smug fucking look as if he is the smartest person around who understands concepts when he is just fucking shit at teaching.
