MODERATORS
Scientism is the dogmatic belief that empirical science is the only source of knowledge. It's not arguing in bad faith to say that this is a dangerously flawed ideology.
The inconvenient truth about scientific research is thatย ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฏ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ฅ๐ข๐ต๐ข ๐ช๐ด ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ด๐ฆ๐ญ๐ง-๐ฆ๐ท๐ช๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต. Informationย requires a metaphysical framework in order to be interpreted in way that makes sense.
Lacking a philosophical foundation, scientism produces dangerous results, like when Hitler and his ilk explicitly referred to Darwinism as their justification for the Holocaust.
