The biggest, eh? Ok, what is another, lesser, weakness of science then?


I elaborated, explained and underlined several times in this thread and now I’m tired. If my simple point really eludes you so thoroughly then skim the thread.


Are you intentionally evading my point or are you just that oblivious?


Gee thanks.
You people seem to be incapable of analyzing the thing. You can only embrace or reject. It’s a strange attitude and I don’t relate.

There is a loss of resolution between observation and model. Banana is replaced by the word “banana”. The map is not the territory. Etc.
That’s why I call science’s use of models a weakness.

No doubt.


Can you just give me the short version?


You should reply to specific instances of that. Vague accusations and handwaving will not cut it.


Gee great

Well that’s a lot of accusations.
One weakness that I offered is that science deals in models. Because in the translation from observation to model there is a loss. You could address that.
It’s like talking to 12th century religious fanatics, I swear.


people are often…
Right and wrong are debatable. Consider other sources of guidance : gut, intuition, authority, habit, etc.
You would rather have no map? …
The questions was, what are its strengths and weaknesses. Not rejecting, examining.
Not really…
You might go with “the weaknesses of science are the weaknesses of knowledge”. That’s something to consider.


No this is my very own thinks. Probably not uncommon among those who think about this kind of stuff.
