@benfell@cybernude.org @woodathon@loadaverage.org @sklaing@quitter.is You leveled a whole bunch of criticisms there. I am curious: how does science compare to other ways of knowing? Which ways of knowing are better at establishing reliable information about the universe? Certainly, science is not a perfect process.... which is why it must be repeated to establish reliability of information; any one step in the process might be flawed. This is why establishing reliable information takes decades. So I am curious, the obvious flaws of all human endeavors aside, what do you advocate to be a better way of establishing reliable information? It is not enough to criticise; what would you do to improve science as a way of knowing?
