Personally, I prefer the term science of soft reality.
After all, the science is as hard as it can be, it's the object of investigation that's fuzzy and shifting and actively refusing to be measured ;)
- SuoDuanDao 4y agoDoes the term 'soft reality' make sense though? I don't subscribe to realism or materialism, but I understand the instinct to reduce the universe to just the measurable parts if the alternative is that the scientific method doesn't work at all. Granted, real science has error bars and there's no upper limit to how big those could get in theory, but in practice there's an upper limit to where a scientific approach is better than just crafting a compelling narrative.
