Of course we all understand that. But isn't the reality that Science is skewed towards Science That Gets Funding? Empirical data is empirical data, but Western Science is a _particular_ selection of the empirical facts that reflects the politically-influenced institutions of science in the West right?
- leephillips 4y agoScience is neither data nor a collection of facts. As Krauss points out, it’s a process for accumulating reliable knowledge.
- cmrdporcupine 4y agoExactly. There's "science" and then there's "Science(tm)". Nothing wrong with the scientific method. But there's lots wrong with plenty of scientists. In the long run it might work out, but it requires vigorous critique and engagement to shake out some of the biases. And so attitude is important here.
