The answers that you'll receive won't be supported by rational thought or evidence. If they were, it'd be scientism.
- aroberge 14y agoHow can something that is not supported by evidence be a valid answer to any legitimate question?
- VMG 14y agoIt can't, that's my point. Arguing against rationality using rational arguments is self-contradictory.
- georgeorwell 14y agoHow are you feeling right now?
- derleth 14y ago> How are you feeling right now? Emotions, both feeling and decoding, are smack-dab in the realm of neurology.
- droithomme 14y agoWhat do you want to eat for dinner? (legitimate question) How about pizza? (no scientific evidence involved in this response)
- lotharbot 14y agoMathematics is separate from science (at least in the modern sense, to the same degree that philosophy is separate from modern science). It's also a form of rational thought, and relies heavily on evidence -- just not empirical evidence. It relies upon reason and proof, but not experimentation or observation.
