I mean, seriously. Have you ever interacted with, say, the better arguers in Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth, Inc? These discussions generally s...

So, Saddam Hussein did have weapons of mass destruction that the Bush Admin knew about.

Yes, it's an absurd term in current usage. Obviously there are conspiracies, some involving governments in collusion with other major players. There a...

I suppose this is supposed to be mocking Joe Rogen and would be funny if it made sense. But Ivermectin is also a human medication. He got a prescripti...

I thought you might be arguing from, in a sense, a pragmatic viewpoint. It's not so important if you are smart, in the traditional IQ sense, but very ...

Probably not just doubt. You'd get into all these recursions and never do anything. But one can certainly doubt, amongt other reactions/actions/proces...

Well, if we find evidence that natural mechanism change over time - constants and laws - then they are challenged. https://bigthink.com/starts-with-a-...

Sure, but the idea that laws are timeless and universal can be challenged. Which means they weren't necessarily wrong before, but the conclusion that ...

Me, I don't think that changes in metaphysics necessarily are a decay in science, at all. Natural laws were consider sacrosanct for a long time, but t...

I appreciate the points you are making here and elsewhere similar to this one.

You said And yes, I was referring to economic and then political practices allowing them to present, for example, poor methodolgies and research pract...

It might, however, be a sign of something that will cause you problems. You may or may not notice those problems. Even if, let's assume for argument, ...

They manage to rather well. I get your point: scientific methodologies/epistemology cannot decay. But here on earth what gets called science can decay...

I think statements can be ambiguous and therefore cannot be neatly categorizes as true or false. I think some statements can be nonsense and again tru...

A saying is an assertion. Can you explain what assertions are not under the purview of true and false? As far as 'being the case' they are somewhat tr...

Or the final judgment is not a binary yes, no, true false. IOW we could decide that viruses are something in between a lifeform and not a lifeform. Th...

Here also: Viruses are lifeforms. Facts and expert opinion currently are mixed.

People are angry. Trusting people is a problem. Are those binarily True or False? Look before you leap is a good heuristic. He who hesitates is lost i...

I have seen criticism of QM mainly and relativity perhaps a bit and then that physics is reductionistic (though the reductionism charge I have tended ...

And take away his corporate charter while we're at it. Corporate charters were seen as priviledged relations with the government and society and misbe...

Necessary to whom and what does that person or those people have as values? When were they necessary and to whom and for what purpose and according to...

I couldn't get this sentence, though I am glad you think we agree. Could you rephrase it?

So, the decay in science is coming from people who believe science is slighting (the existence of) things outside our perception? Can you give me a re...

That's hardly evidence about plant conscoiusness. It could simply be bias, just as we used to, in science for exmaple, have a bias against animal cons...

Can you link to the research? That would be odd given that dogs have about 300 million scent receptors and we have around 6. But perhaps there was som...

I don't think he did. I am asking someone else. I think he has been saying that science way decaying because of what Bohr asserted, assumed or did? I ...

I agree, though strangely it was scientific practice to do precisely that until the 70s within science. Not doing it could cause you problems professi...

So, what's an example from another discipline in science? What is the general rule broken or mispractice of Bohr?

I was asking questions about decay. I am not sure if you are seconding my questions or disagreeing with something or.....

Ok, I see where you are coming from. Let's skip the hard to nail down middleman Rosenfeld. What did Bohr do, in abstract terms, that is part of the de...

Yes, and that's a definite bias.

There's a difference between consciousness and behavior and we can't measure consciousness (yet at least) but we look at behavior. The prejudice cuts ...

Sure, animals, including us, have our strengths and weaknesses.

It seemed like he supported him on those, though I have trouble finding clear info. Your quote "The daring (not to say scandalous) character of Bohr's...

So, how does this lead to the decay of science? Also it seems from what I have seen Rosenfeld is not scathing in relation to Bohr's ideas. He seems su...

Or it understands, but you're not conscious of it. You think the toaster knows the numbers on its dial?

It confusing words with things. A vague general term 'machine' (which is created for a purpose by someone) is being used to cover any phenomenon and t...

The word just is a value judgment. So we think of 'machines' which are things we have made that are vastly simply than us, at least so far. Vastly. Th...

Right, I haven't asserted they are. They are a different mammal, running on cells, however complicatedly linked. This is just as problematic for human...

The issue with dogs is considering them machines but not considering humans as machines. There was a hard line in science, even, with mammals as machi...

I found a Marxist defense of complementarity by him when I googled his name and Bohr.

They have managed to get people to confuse corporate generated research and conclusions with science. Here's an example. If you go to somewhere like s...

I've read the OP and a few of your other posts and I am not quite sure what your position is. So, I may miss the mark. I'll throw out: perhaps our pos...

Well, we only know Socrates through Plato, including his 'unmasking' if he managed it. Are you really saying that Socrates was not a dualist, rational...

Well, he certainly argued that. He also argued that transcendant forms are the foundation of reality and that democracy is wrongheaded. He also was a ...

That's not relevant. I am not claiming that Buddhists have an academic expertise or relation to the religion.It's generally rebirth not reincarnation ...

Sure, I don't disagree. I actually think the Abrahamic religions are much more complex that people in online discussions (both non-theists and theists...
