Scientists regularly investigate the assumptions of the past.

Isn't the socratic method within the realm of critical thinking though?

new stuff appears because they convince the morons who only memorized, some of them are willing to make shit up

How do you think we figured out that we aren't a geocentric flat earth

fucking hell

A car got invented

Is it made up

No

Socratic flips to a right brain thought more often, when a new question is asked

the vast majority of scientists are the same as new college students

holy fuck

Or is critical thought something different and specific compared to the idea of critical thinking as a whole?

we're not talking about cars, rouqen

we're talking about wild speculation

We are talking about science

A problem with the education system doesn't invalidate the scientific method

A car was a big progress leap

Bad scientists don't disprove science

right, i guess science has become wild speculation, you're right

we're talking about beer actually

god damn

Yeah pretty off topic guys

Theoretical physics is wild speculation

"Cars aren't science"

True

What else isn't science, electricity maybe?

Semiconductors?

Wild speculation doesn't have to be a bad thing if once you make the speculation you test it. If you find out something weird happens that you speculated you can uncover truths about the world.

That's all engineering rigfht? Which is applied science?

Akka

And experiment

That's how new ideas become theories and then facts

It's not strictly science

Honestly, I think the vast majority of you are so new to this idea, that you're all blatantly moronic on it, and there is no shame in that.

Yep, and before it's engineering, it's a proof of concept in a lab

"Today's scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments, and they wander off through equation after equation, and eventually build a structure which has no relation to reality."

@Gilgamesh Expand on that?

Honestly, I think that you got fondled by your 6th grade science teacher and ever since then you've lived your life trying to go against everything that "scientists" say

That's all I can give
