"Imagine a future society where everything is perfectly logical. What could go wrong?"
I have said many times, anyone who uses the term "Scientism" to
criticize science has no real understanding of science. This article
proves my point: NOTHING about science says that "everything" is
logical. Science does not deny the value of beauty, poetry, love, art,
relationships, compassion (you, hopefully, get the point). To anyone
agreeing with this article:
Science
informs reason (which includes scientific skepticism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_skepticism)
and humanism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanism). Reason
and humanism, thus, are the platforms upon which actions which maximize the
well being of the world and its inhabitants are launched.
Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.
