I don't know if I'm sperging it out really nice or if my worries are actually legit but here goes nothing
>studying about philosophy, epistemology and philosophy of science >the newtons flaming laser sword thing is taken a little more serious than it should for something that looks like a joke >realize that, behind the veil of smirkyness and debauch, many actually take that as serious thought
I don't really know what kind of bad experience most of you guys had with humanities subjects during school but, you know, i think you're smart enough to realize there are things that are just out of the grasp of objective answers... I think that kind of mindset is really empovering scientific discussion and, most importantly, being passed down to mainstream thought...
>there are things that are just out of the grasp of objective answers.
That sounds to me like you gave up. Everything has an objective answer, you are just too lazy to find it. I think you should go back to the coal mines, where you belong.

Not OP, but note that stimuli are processed by the brain before you are aware of them. As a result, any observation is necessarily subjective. You don't have access to objective reality, the very fact that you can categorize stimuli by placing them into different sets is an operation of the mind, not something endemic to the stimuli themselves.

>Dangers of Scientificism
religious people invented "scientism" in order to make their own beliefs about things seem just as rational as actual facts.

How do you know that we don't have access to objective reality?
When we see an object we get an objective measurement of what wavelengths that object reflects. Perfectly objective.

I do not know but not knowing the answer does not mean the answer does not exist.
Back to the coal mines.

What about moral and ethical issues ? I just refuse to believe you're so much of a philistine
