In Defense of Scientism
- Proven 6y agoWhy would someone bother to waste so much time and so many letters to defend something so obviously wrong and indefensible is a puzzle. > scientism more generally—using, where appropriate, the analogous term “science-based social policy” (SBSP). Climatism an other scientisms in the EU helped introduce taxes that doubled the cost of fuel and lowered the quality of life of hundreds of millions because "science". It did nothing except steal trillions from workers. Then there's a laughable argument about the "ideal", scientifically-determined level of taxes. Could anyone be that stupid to be persuaded to increase her level of taxes rather than make it a voluntary donation (or just tell these fiscal "scientists" to fuck off)? What a disaster of an article.
