Maybe you're looking in the wrong place?
The question on my mind is the following: How is blindly trusting science better than blindly trusting the pope or your local shaman? Wasn't the real issue blind trust, rather than who or what?
There's nothing to be afraid of, and no reason to take a stupid test. I had to as part of drafting and I can't see these tests leading anywhere worth going. Maybe ask why being seen as smart is important?
- waynecochran 8y agoMost of what any of us believe is trust in some other source. Few things that we believe admit to the scientific method, and even those things that do very few of us reproduce on our own. When is comes to social science, the "science" is pretty weak anyway. Most folks just believe what is popular or what they want to believe. I tend to look for consistency and track record -- most useful tests for truth in practice.
