- strogonoff 2y agoThis is only true if you reject the pink elephant argument as straw man in the first place. As long as you consider it a figure of speech (a charitable interpretation indeed), then existence of pink elephants (or ghosts, or what have you) is exactly the implication of the theory in context of scientific method.

You may want to take a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_method#Science_of_complex_systems https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_method#Science_of_c..., though I recommend to read, for example, GEB to inderstand the implications of the theorem.
