Comment on Anon gets philosophical
TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 4 days agothe thing that most people fail to understand is there are multiple methods and approaches to various types of science.
they make the faulty assumption there is one method and one truth. that isn’t how reality works.

That’s also a very good point and a problem even within scientific communities. This is partly tribalism, partly jargon, and partly structural. People identify with a discipline or method, dig in their heels, make new terms for old ideas, dont read work outside of their bubble, and everyone is left confused. I agree the scientific method isn’t strict which is a double edged sword. We can’t come to perfect truth but only make good faith efforts to approch the mysteries of the universe.
