The steel-man version of "scientism" wouldn't be scientism, it would just be a straight-forward explanation of the scientific method and empiricism that acknowledges its limits.
- nbulka 2y agoA steel man version of scientism by definition has to be scientism, and I imagine that looks like strict determinisn/reductionism. I imagine it would go along the lines of "we acknowledge that our theories invoke notions of probability and since don't have a better solution we should assert them as universal truths."
