Reply to comment by WrongAspects in Scientism Schmientism! Why There Are No Other Ways of Knowing Apart from Science (Broadly Construed) by CartesianClosedCat

>Aren’t they experiences?

All experiments are experiences, but not all experiences are experiments.

>Do you think science doesn’t involve reasoning?

All science involves reasoning, but not all reasoning is a part of science.

>Do you think mathematics is not reasoning?

Mathematics is logic, not necessarily reasoning depending on definition. Even so, not all reasoning is math.

>Do you have knowledge of things you never experienced?

Nope. Everything must be experienced in some form. If I learn something from reading a book, I still had to experience the book in some way (usually reading via eyesight).

You are so confused it’s not even funny. Look at how you are twisting the world to back your anti science stance.

So...

"Not believing science is the be-all-end-all that the world should revolve around" = "anti-science stance"?

That's a very cult-like mindset.

Science is a very good methodology for gaining truths, particularly truths that lead to technological advancement. That doesn't mean it's a God we should all bow down too - which is how you seem to be treating it.

You are one denying that experiences are not experiments right?

They're not. That can be, but they are not fundamentally.

Every time you have an expectation it’s an experiment. All experiences are experiments. You have a world view in your head and you are trying to see if it matches reality.
