Science is a process. It is a socio-historic process of knowledge creation. It can be conducted by a single human being in isolation as much as it can be conducted by entire societies in dialog with other societies.
Fundamentally untrue. Science, in the modern sence, literally depends on multiple unbiased via double-blind studies, if based on a trial, or undeniable empirical evidence that can be repeated by other independent sources to try to disprove it. It's why "hypothesis that cannot be disproven" are fundamentally worthless, because anything that can't be disproven by other independent sources is fundamentally unscientific in any modern understanding of the concept. The idea that "a single person, can like, totally do it bro." again, proves you lack a literal 5th grade education. Being able to have multiple indepdent sources repeat a study or expirment is literally the, LITERALLY, MOST FUNDAMENTEL ASPECT OF "SCIENCE." LITERALLY. BY. DEFINITION. YOU LITERALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE WORDS YOU USE MEAN. You need to be able to repeat the same tests in order to disprove a hypothesis IS LITERALLY THE FUCKING BEDROCK OF SCIENCE. LIKE, YOU LEARN THIS IN 5TH GRADE IN PUBLIC SCHOOL. 5TH. FUCKING. GRADE. I SPENT YEARS OF MY COLLEGE LIFE ON THI, WASTED MAYBE, BUT TO KNOW, UNDENIABLY THAT YOU'RE INFERIOR... CHRIST -- WORTH IT!.
Here's a thing -- How do you know you're not "in the matrix" well, you don't. Kinda hard to disprove, in fact, it's a hypothesis that cannot really be disproven. until you're already out of the "matrix" (which obviously... lets say doesn't exist) It's fundamentally unscientific (hence, the domain of philosophy) How do you know the "scientific evidence" you gathered isn't wrong? Well, you have other indepedent sources repeat your experiment using your metholdology, if they get a different result, somethings wrong, if everyone who tries to "disprove" your "disprovable" (not-philosophy-matrix bullshit like I have a degree in) hypothesis, then it eventually becomes upgraded to a theory. No theories, in a modern sense, ever becomes theories based on ONE PERSON, because that's not how SCIENCE, in any usage of the word since the literal founding in the concent since the "englightenment" has ever been used.
You're just dumb as shit stringing together words that don't actually convey any meaning, but you write words, so you feel you're "competing" you're a moron writing 1/0=1. on paper. You're not proving you're diving by zero, you're proving that everyone with the slightest mathematical education that you're utterly ignorant, and lack a child's education.
Any hypothesis needs to be able to be tested by multiple independent sources using the same methodology for any hypothesis to get anything near "theory" level, be gathered from other sources to confirm hypothesis and evidence. If you're going to tell me "science" can be done by a singular person, please tell me how a singular person can do a double-blind study of the efficacy of penicillin on a patient with syphillis. I EAGERLY AWAIT.
Of course, you can't, because it's impossible, because you literally are a dumbfuck who literally doesn't know what science is, and is making shit up with your "pity-passed-out of a public high school so we could get funding for next year-ass.) I'm not even going to begin to get into the complexities of the fundamental limits of empirical knowledge and the limits of the scientific method itself in an empirical world. There's a reason I literally spent years on this, because you need to literally spend years to suss out the nuances and complexes of the limits of empiricism on the hyper-dorky philosophical level. But that's not even the problem, you simply don't understand the 5th grade scientific method, you are so far beneath me it's unbelievable.
Not engaging any further. Enjoying my shitty McDonalds iced coffee. Your lack of education is as apparent as Elon's lack of gaming skills, the difference is, somehow, he's still more pathetic than you (lucky you.) You will be condescended to you for the rest of your life by anyone with a real education in any real subject, rather than repeating imbeclic phrases you read off reddit or your favorite youtuber said, just as anyone with even the most mediocre gamer skills can see how incompetent Elon after mere seconds, based on his misplaying and misunderstand of most fundamental aspects of a videogame. (In this case, PoE2)
If you want a photo of my degree, I will send it, I'm leaning into appeal to authority. Otherwise, I've proven you're dumb as shit and everything you said is an embarrassment, as you are. Good day, you are correct, I have engaged with my inferiors too much. I will refrain from such.
I am embarrassed that you're a hexbear. You don't have a rigorous bone in your body and you don't have an ounce of self awareness. You are the quintessence of Dunning-Kruger.
what the fuck?
Please go find some outside to inhale and some distant scenery to gaze at. While you're out there, please reflect on why you thought it was a good idea to denigrate someone for asking you to avoid disparaging indigenous people when you shit on quacks.
I look forward to your post on c/selfcrit
Are you, uh, doin ok there?
I think I touched a nerve.
I don't know what to tell you, boss. Your words don't match your actions. You aren't making arguments, not in the least; you lack the curiosity and humility required to be a scientist, let alone a philosopher; and I have no interest in showing you my credentials because, despite your insistence that you're correct, credentials do not an argument make. Nor does what school you graduated from, nor does which particular degree program you went through nor does whatever your professors said to you. You will not get the satisfaction of the dick measuring because the fact that you're demanding it is all the argument we need to see your position for what it is.
snort 4 whole years!
Credentialed philosopher of science here: you are correct about all this.
