“Those who will accuse us of irrationalism have an extremely narrow view of rationalism, a view that scientists have abandoned a long time ago. Ever since quantum mechanics came to be, and quantum mechanics is probably the greatest scientific idea of this century (n.b. the 20th -ed.), you can kiss goodbye to causal explanation.“
There we go! Relativist anti-science nonsense masquerading as rational thought.
Yes, psychology and other “soft” sciences have serious issues. But I suggest to the author (and Rota) to understand physics (and the level at which quantum effects become viable) before quoting physicists.
Most of this article revolves around semantics. Pity! It had potential.
Check out the fraud committed by Francesca Gino. If it takes a decade to catch the smart Harvard professor (earning a couple of million dollars per year) who made zero effort to hide her data fabrication/manipulation, ya gotta wonder how pervasive the practice really is.
