The natural attitude <https://www.saybrook.edu/unbound/phenomenology/> toward perception is that it is truth. The transcendental attitude subjects one's own perceptual machinery (including measurement instruments) to modeling and it is _this_ that is the foundation of *natural **science*. Sure, you'll have marching morons overpowering the scientific community -- and the marching morons willf frequently be carrying placards saying "Trust The Science" as they crush any opposition. And, sure, they will have been the creatures of the guys who control the the incentives these animals are reinforced by via the dispensation of civilization's positive network externalities in the form of fiat currency issuance. We see that all over the place. But these are all subjects obscured by the long history of the social sciences being crippled by denial of the algorithmic information criterion for causal model selection. So the folks engaging in counsels of despair here are, in fact, operating as the agents of the morons -- including the meta-morons creating incentive structures that self-organize marches that we must all "Trust The Science!" ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T206dd0e37a9e7407-Mde5f4216b121bd44ede01412 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
