- boppo1 4y agoSure, but many would argue that social science regularly fails to meet contemporaneous standards for epistemological rigor that physical sciences do. Try to quantify or define unconscious bias. How many dimensions does it have? Are there any provable social laws (in the sense of theorem::law, not lawyer::law)?
- Kye 4y ago>> "Sure, but many would argue that social science regularly fails to meet contemporaneous standards for epistemological rigor that physical sciences do." Many would argue, but what's their qualification? Where's the meta research implied in your comment that supports your view that social science regularly fails to meet contemporaneous standards for epistemological rigor that physical sciences do?
- boppo1 4y agoI don't have meta research. It is unnecessary given any individual can make the observations themselves by trying to answer the questions I asked. Physics, math, chemistry, they all obey laws and phenomena can rigorously proven (more or less). There are no identifiable social axioms. Science is not about expert qualifications, it is about asking questions.
