Oh no, I said something I realized was wrong and deleted it so I dont put wrong information out there.. how horrible of me.
The day someone creates nuclear power without using science then maybe I will take you seriously.
It shows science clearly isnt as inept or constantly wrong as you imply if it gives rise to highly advanced and complex technologies that have huge impacts for society.. things flat earthers and science deniers could never hope to produce or even approach.
Of course science, as it is shown to the public, is politicized and often wrong. The media in generally is horribly biased and anti-factual, that includes both liberal and conservative media (no media seems impartial in the USA).
There is a big difference between the actual science, and the science the general public thinks is science, which is largely just a narrative trying to use science to sell it.
That said your specific examples are completely incorrect.. climate change **is** real, though you wont get even a basic understanding of why by either side of the media, for example.
Yes I can agree with that. While climate change is serious and acting over short periods, it is often overhyped to induce fear as well.
Are you seriously complaining about the fact that languages change over time... Yea I'm pretty upset we dont still speak latin too ::rolls eyes::
The scientific **method** is a method for doing things.. science is not the scientific method, which is only a set of principles that exists within natural sciences as a process for doing experimentation.
How would you even apply the scientific method to a math proof?
Honestly im done here, its one thing that your an idiot, it is another that your an idiot who doesnt know it.

@Ivan_Ivanovich Nope, we have examples where it has been. But it happens far less so than when science isnt imposed (ie, systematic rigor). So while it reduces politicization it is hardly immune to it.
@Ivan_Ivanovich Remove science then they just lean on people pulling whatever nonsense out of their ass to justify political messages. Hardly an improvement.
@Ivan_Ivanovich Actually I said very much the opposite but your just not too bright and totally misunderstood what I said.
What I said was that using science as a political tool does politicize science, but the nature of science makes it more resistant to it than if we didnt have science and instead people just pulled whatever opinion they wanted out of their ass, which would be far more susceptible to politicization.
@Ivan_Ivanovich muted because you are either too much of an idiot to hold a conversation where you understand what is being clearly stated, or intentionally act like an idiot because you think it makes your argument stronger... either way, muted, bye.
Again you are using the word science wrong.. oh right i forgot you dont care about the dictionary, you make up your own defintions then act like they are universal objective facts... have fun with that made up world you line in.
Except that science has **never** been defined by the scientific method. Here is the definition of science from an 1800's dictionary:
1. In a general sense, knowledge, or certain knowledge; the comprehension or understanding of truth or facts by the mind. The science of God must be perfect.
2. In philosophy, a collection of the general principles or leading truths relating to any subject. Pure science as the mathematics, is built on self-evident truths; but the term science is also applied to other subjects founded on generally acknowledged truths, as metaphysics; or on experiment and observation, as chimistry and natural philosophy; or even to an assemblage of the general principles of an art, as the science of agriculture; the science of navigation. Arts relate to practice, as painting and sculpture.
A principle in science is a rule in art.
3. Art derived from precepts or built on principles.
Holy fucking shit were hitting levels of self awareness i didnt even know were possible can you be negatively self aware?
