That criticism of science is actually a thing and it poses some big, earth moving questions if you ask me.
Here is a simple wiki article (lol):
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_scienceI'm curious if you all have any thoughts, or know more and want to share.
No. 864501
>>864499Excerpts I found interesting:
>Historian Jacques Barzun termed science "a faith as fanatical as any in history" and warned against the use of scientific thought to suppress considerations of meaning as integral to human existence.[4]>Alan Watts criticized science for operating under a materialist model of the world that he posited is simply a modified version of the Abrahamic worldview, that "the universe is constructed and maintained by a Lawmaker" (commonly identified as God or the Logos). Watts asserts that during the rise of secularism through the 18th to 20th century when scientific philosophers got rid of the notion of a lawmaker they kept the notion of law, and that the idea that the world is a material machine run by law is a presumption just as unscientific as religious doctrines that affirm it is a material machine made and run by a lawmaker.[7]
>Some scientists and philosophers suggest that scientific theories are more or less shaped by the dominant political, economic, or cultural models of the time, even though the scientific community may claim to be exempt from social influences and historical conditions.[41][42] For example, Zoologist Peter Kropotkin thought that the Darwinian theory of evolution overstressed a painful "we must struggle to survive" way of life, which he said was influenced by capitalism and the struggling lifestyles people lived within it.[9][43] Karl Marx also thought that science was largely driven by and used as capital.[44]>Robert Anton Wilson, Stanley Aronowitz, and Paul Feyerabend all thought that the military-industrial complex, large corporations, and the grants that came from them had an immense influence over the research and even results of scientific experiments.[1][45][46][47] Aronowitz even went as far as to say "It does not matter that the scientific community ritualistically denies its alliance with economic/industrial and military power. The evidence is overwhelming that such is the case. Thus, every major power has a national science policy; the United States Military appropriates billions each year for 'basic' as well as 'applied' research".[47] No. 873832

Some bee myths I would like to dispell. Bees do not live in a monarch. Their society is closer to communism. Worker bees do not live for their queen, they live for the survival of the colony. Queen bees are not born, but created. An ordinary larvae can be turned into a queen bee with a special diet. Usually one male bee is created and discarded after reproduction, but aside from him, all bees are female. (Not to sperg, but isn't funny how the mainstream always pushes for male bees, male ants, male wasps, and the list goes on as the norm? It is like they cannot accept an all female society to exist without the males being in charge). Worker bees can choose to get rid of the queen bee whenever they choose to. Either she is too old, is defective, or isn't doing her job, worker bees have nearly all the power. Aside from humans and habitat loss, wasps are a huge threat to bees. Wasps steal honey, eat bee larvae, destroy property, and kill bees. The way bees deal with wasps is by huddling all over one until the heat burns the wasp to death. Wasps are another all female society, but are more aggressive than bees. They are basically pirates. The male, or the drone, has no stinger and can only reproduce with the queen. Unlike bees, wasps can remember faces. They can recognize other wasp members this way rather than using some other primal way of recognition. Whenever you kill a wasp, a chemical subtance is released that can notify other wasps in the area that she has been killed. Now remember next time you swat at a wasp. She knows your face bitch. You're next.

Today I learned that some people feel very, very passionately about rock cairns and despise them. I understand not disturbing trail markers or confusing people if it's that type of system, but I came across a whole thread of people seething at the very existence of them for "disturbing the environment and causing erosion" and possibly hurting animals? I never thought it was such a big deal to people. It's like how I thought grave rubbing was just a cute hobby and apparently it makes people seethe since it can damage the graves or something?

tourists had built a cairn.

>>1538245Lol I already knew this. It kinda ruined my perception of the whole band. I thought joy division was just a fun innocent creative name that the band members made but nope scrotes have to perverse everything
>>1538263Reading this makes me sorta feel better.

I feel like someone's gonna be like, "nonnie, how did you not know", but I just found out that this pic of Marilyn Monroe and JFK is fake. I've been seeing it for soooo long. It's by Alison Jackson, who makes satirical celebrity edits.

>>1580745lol i was surprised when i found out about them too. i'm not a horse girl but my sister is so in my mind all the weird horses get categorized into one bucket, like these ones dubbed "the most beautiful horses in the world". (Golden Akhal Teke?)
idk they just make me think of condensed milk in horse form.

today I learned that Bobby Farrell, the front man for the musical group 'Boney M', known for the timeless banger 'Rasputin', died on the same day, and in the same city as Rasputin himself. December 30th, St Petersburg Russia.

TIL that chordates can possess spiracles too. I was looking at a resting nurse shark at an aquarium and asked if this species used ram ventilation like other sharks, and was told that all sharks possess ram ventilation, however, they are able to rest due to them possessing spiracles along the body that can directly take in oxygen while they rest or feed. Very interesting. Pic related; the spiracles are just visible as tiny light spots along the shark's body.
