If you lose the perspective that “a single reality exists and we all share it- regardless of the degree to which we actually understand it” then you’re lost to science. What your doing is no longer science and is in fact just politics.
- programmarchy 5y agoPersonally, I do believe in a universal reality. Tangentially, I also believe that cannot be justified by an autonomous epistemology. But to the point, humans make mistakes, have biases and incentives, and do not always tell the truth. Science is a human affair. Because of this, politics is present in science and even intrudes upon the processes of conducting the scientific method. Ignoring this "heresy" will only compound the issue, and further erode trust in our institutions. The remedy is more honesty, not less.
