thats not the scientific process though, thats statistics
Like did you know that separation between parts of the brain can "fix" epilepsy? Or that electroshock therapy is useful in cases of extreme depression?
XD sadly you need such an approach to get repeatable, if not 100%, results
Yeah the point ultimately is that we keep testing and iterating
Is this why certain circles hate rupert sheldrake so much?
XD just ask tesla
Nobody iterates on "it's magic"
Scientific process is, you make a hypothesis
And every single time i test it (bar wrongful anomalies) i will get the exact same outcome as your hypothesis prescribes
im sure he was mad depressed
and was electrocuting himself
as a treatment
That's not a treatment that's a fetish
hey if it worked
principles and procedures for the systematic pursuit of knowledge involving the recognition and formulation of a problem, the collection of data through observation and experiment, and the formulation and testing of hypotheses
i mean fuck he lost everything and died pennyless
there is nothing in that definition about absolute predictive capacity
did not seem like he was to traumatised about it till after he stopped shocking himself daily due to losing hsi equipment
if something was only science when you can prove what will happen 100% of the time, the only thing that maybe could be science is math
MAYBE
there has to be, else I can just say "i scientificaly predict that the Earth will blow up in 10 seconds"
And when it doesn't i said "Oh well, it doesn't have to be predictable, so its still a sciencE"
@Mallic Really, if you want to fight Nihilism, if you want to give your life a purpose, just consider family members and friends that you remember fondly that aren't here anymore. Think about the effect that they had on your life. Quit worrying over the destination, and focus on the journey. Even if the future were to not matter in the grand scheme of the universe, even if we're unimportant specks, we don't live on a Universal scale, We live on an insignificant blue spec. And everything here matters to us. Any chance we have of figuring it all out comes in pushing the human race forward. Our impact goes beyond our lives.
Now I think I'm done trying to be inspirational for the day, I've got work to do.
No, science works everywhere like this,
The whole point of science is that anyone can test it using the same parameters and limits, in the same physical universe, will get the same result,
It can be peer-reviewed
insignificant blue spec: <:VeRiFiEd:463064374236413962>
There has been, for years, a bounty on any supernatural phenomena, wherein proof of psychic powers will net you a monetary prize. Nobody has ever won
the same resultS
plural
on average
The.problem is assuming that peep aren't biased in peer reviewa
you cant just test a thing once and be done with it
gotta test it a thousand times may not be enough
you can test it as often as you like, the point is the result will be the same
imagine if one result was enough, you could make a theory of a result of a cointoss
thats teh scientifc method
Bias doesn't mean "let's believe anything" though
as soon as you make 2 results, it does not become statistics lmao
the point of the scientific method, is that a person can recreate it if they don't believe you,
And every time they do it they'll get the same result
there are tools to seperate yourself from your bias
resultS
Ok ok what i told you guys that panpsychism is becoming more and more academically credible?
