How did this get upvoted? tldr; author "dismisses" science and argues for solipsism.
- uuid 16y agoHe would indeed benefit greatly from reading a bit of Polanyi.
- naradaellis 16y agoThat's not what I got at all... I don't think he dismissed science by any measure and in fact argued against solipsism and post-modernism, did you read the article?
- plorkyeran 16y agoEr, that's pretty much the exact opposite of what I read. He quite explicitly calls solipsism ridiculous.
- Groxx 16y agoRe: solipsism (start of 4th paragraph): >When we step down from their mental ivory towers and really think about it, the assertion that science is just a belief or another way of creating dogmas is monstrously stupid. ie, if you can't "know" anything (solipsism), you can only believe in science. In which case, You're Doing It Wrong™.
