i think science is an honourable enterprise...very honourable. der.
yes like nearly all endeavours it is now tainted with the corrupting
claw off 'the market'; but its intellectual raison d'etre is still
apparent, as opposed to being a blind slave to the blatantly
exploitative logic of the market.
science works. it is pragmatically valuable...to an unprecedented
level. it is a very high value method of inquiry whose only real
fault is essentially one of association...ie it's marriage with an
inadequate metaphysical foundation.
if you think the moq is about diminishing the value of science i
think you are headed in exactly the wrong direction.
Greetings Gav,
There are questions in this post. Are they aimed at someone
specifically, or general questions?
Is science either to be honored or diminished? That's the
choice. One or zero?
My initial point was not whether or not science deserves honors, but
how obstacles are created when competing extremes tangle.
