LOL. You are not the first person to say I should have tried politics. I will take it as a compliment. Now if only science can tell me which party to join according to my brain wiring.

Hey, but at least we're not getting as much about Scientism here lately. That's a good sign...
Your Scientism is the result of your inappropriately expanding the authority of science beyond what is KNOWN. When you demand that science be able to validate what is NOT KNOWN, you are engaging in scientism. It is appropriate to use what science KNOWS to refute what is claimed, but NOT to demand that science validate what is NOT KNOWN.

So the only person doing scientism is you, but you accuse others to try and hide this.

You are the prime example of scientism with your demands that we provide validated science for what is NOT YET KNOWN but seems plausible based on what we DO KNOW.

No, we don't demand that...unless you start pushing us to believe what you believe.

Your usual distorted and false ad hominem.

I am extrapolating from what we know, it is you who is arguing a god of the gaps.

I am asking for evidence for what you claim to know, and the fact you do everything to avoid providing any evidence tells us you have none, as well as your lack of knowledge about basic science.

Seriously, Kapitan Ego, you have been exposed so often, one must ask why you keep pretending you are an authority on anything.

Enjoy you irrational echo chamber of assertions.

Meanwhile, we in the kitchen that is too hot for you are having a party with a nice conversation.

i disagree.
with the belief stated above.

certainly a person is free to believe whatever they choose.
including the belief that they "understand a person's perspective."


however patronizing precludes understanding.
