Schools should be based on the scientific method teaching things that can be found to be objectively true or skills that can be objectively acquired. Anything that declares any science including itself subjective in nature, should not be taught. Simply because there is nothing to teach, the entire teaching would be, by definition, the subjective opinion of the teacher. Which raises the question, why did we choose these particular opinions to be taught and not others.
- jasonboyd 5y agoThat's silly. Let's assume for a moment that it is possible to teach _only_ objective truths (goodbye arts, literature, philosophy, social sciences, etc) how will the little robots produced by such an environment succeed in life? Few things encountered in daily life are objectively true.
- xscott 5y ago> [...] the scientific method teaching things that can be found to be objectively true [...] The scientific method never proves things are objectively true. Instead, you subjectively fail to show your hypothesis is false, so you gain more justification in believing it. I wish more people understood this and quit trying to make a religion out of science. Proof is for mathematics.
