> Quite funny / quite hilarious
I'm glad I made your day better by giving you some happiness. But yeah, science is not the pursuit of "truth".
> call to authority
Never intended to use it as a call to authority. I'm sorry you interpreted this way. Not everything I wrote is a dissertation about something.
> Your view on science
And what is my "view" on science? I wrote like 3 or 4 lines of text. Or are you thinking you "got me right"?
- ElFitz 5y agoOh dear. This is quite a pleasant exchange. Thank you! > And what is my "view" on science? I wrote like 3 or 4 lines of text. That "science is not the pursuit of "truth"." Now, you've got me wondering. Maybe we don't mean the same thing by "truth". To me, in this context, it would be "the most accurate and comprehensive way of explaining and understanding how the world behaves". With a focus on different domains and behaviours depending on the area. What do you mean by "truth", here?
- ElFitz 5y agoI would rather edit, but it’s too late for that. So, just to be clear, in case there is any doubt. There is no sarcasm here. I genuinely appreciate the response, and am genuinely curious. That’s all.
