> We need to put the brakes on the empiricism train. It's useful, but only to a certain point. We need to foster a deeper understanding of how empiricism actually works, what its limitations are, and the difficult and often lengthy process through which varying degrees of certainty are obtained and adjusted over time. I also think it is important to spread the value of grounded skepticism (including of one's own knowledge) and the power of freely admitting mistakes. Obviously, none of this is easy. But it is worthwhile and I think small improvements will have a large impact through ripple effects over time. We shouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater, in regards to empiricism.
