That is beautiful horrific observation by one of my favorite scientists.
You are right.
Just have some lemma near some old proof.
Still being knowledgable about science and understanding its method for finding truth is currently the best weapon against the snake oil salesmen and their buttery voices.
I talk about science the method, not the group of old men grading papers. Maybe that is our misunderstanding. For you science is the scientific community, for me it is the method.
One has a consensus, one clearly does not.
- peoplefromibiza 5y agoI totally agree with you. Science is the method. The method is to put the burden of the proof on the humans that disagree with what the method has reached an agreement on. Because it's really hard to trick the method given a large enough community that disagree on the results. We are fallible, the method, at least, doesn't care about our feelings.
