I fail to understand how this is related to the topic of scientific discoveries and the technology underlying it. Yes your personal discoveries might be based on purchasing a PM2.5 meter, but personal discoveries and understanding are not generally related to scientific discoveries or understanding. If you study e.g. quantum mechanics it will not generally advance our (as society) understanding of quantum mechanics. Maybe you will become a great quantum researcher and make discoveries but it will be your discoveries then that advance understanding
- aaron695 5y agoIf you want to jump back the the main article around the philosophy of science then yes not relevant. I haven't read the book but I'm not talking temporal consciousness, phenomenologists and philosophy and things. > it will be your discoveries then that advance understanding This in practical reality doesn't really happen. The philosophy fails here. I'm just talking analytically around what happens when people get a device that can measure 1/10 finer or how Excel has pushed science, not related to philosophy or theoretical ideas around purer sciences. More specifically citizen science like this not for profit air quality map - https://waqi.info/ https://waqi.info/ Tools to the people.
