How does Veeky Forums feel about scientism?

What the fuck?

it is good.

scientism IS NOT about science becoming a religion
It's about people surrendering their critical thinking abilities to an authoritative power.
In the world of politics the act of trusting someone is thought of as a commodity. It can be traded, bartered, and stolen for personal gain. Politicians have noticed people putting lots of trust in science, and are now using the name of "science" to borrow or steal that trust. This doesn't make science in general bad, just those who try to abuse the good faith and trust that's been put into it. Once the name of "science" has been used up and when people stop trusting science, the politicians will move onto the next trust worthy thing that they can milk dry. It's a continuing cycle. Science is a victim in all of this, not the villain.

As someone who'd you call a soyboy I say GOOD FOR YOU! You shouldn't let people tell you what to think! Make up your own damn mind about stuff. This is called critical thinking skills and I believe it's severely lacking in today's society. But don't keep doing it just cause I told you do, you should decide for yourself if you want to keep thinking for yourself.

It's too broad to be an axiom, axioms in STEM are never so vague. It's regularly broken too, so it's more like a guideline.

Nonexistent. Made up to treat "science" as some monolithic entity, to easily dismiss it in favour of baseless and often empty beliefs.

Scientism is the position adopted by many philosophers of science. E.g. Mario Bunge, James Ladyman, Alex Rosenberg etc.

they eat the poopoo

This. Fuck Neil and fuck chinese "people"

On Veeky Forums it is a term of endearment

While we may derive from the higher art of mathematics our language and a few neat tricks, I can assure you, in science, when we derive from the physical plane to found our algorithms upon. They are as solid as the smallest particals we can detect and the harnassable energies we use in our constructs. The proof is in the laserbeams.
