  • we define "science" as the aggregate consciousness of scientific researchers

    This is something I wish I could preach convincingly to everyone. The activity of scientists, a social group, are arguing and trying to convince one another that their interpretation of the data acquired by using their tools and methods is what become a scientific consensus.

    Forefronting the method (often a vaguely defined one rooted in a hypo-deductive model from about 150 years ago that most people learned in grade school) removes the relationships between people and other people and people and institutions.

    I wish I could find the paper but there's a wonderful enthographic study on how scientists interact with each other to transform the discourse.

  • You've described the Aristotelian-Ptolemaic model which dates back to the 2nd century CE. This was part of, but not the extent of the mideval cosmography.

    In the cosmography of the middle ages, there existed a realm outside the spheres where God and the angels dwelled. Each of the planets color the divine light of God and pour God's beneficence upon the Earth. The earth was low and seemingly distant from the heavenly realms. And in the middle of the earth was hell.

    A competing mideval theory put God at the center and the Earth at the most distant sphere. It borrowed from another tradition, the Neoplatonists. Here God is a a pure light and the sphere distort the light of God. Humans couldn't handle the pure light of God, but all the distortions make the universe appear fractured and not unitary. We don't see God in everything, just the many things.

  • Over, under, and misuse have resulted in adaptations by bacteria. Which is to say, life evolves. Its too bad, and there is still a role for antibiotics in our world, but we have to trim our use of it.

  • Course lengths for antibiotics isn't well studied. From this article:

    In fact, the optimal length of treatment in many common infections is not well studied and may be more than a little arbitrary. One infectious diseases doctor has suggested, somewhat satirically, that most of our current rules for antibiotic administration have more to do with the number of days in the week than they do with robust scientific evidence.

    We have a growing and, frankly, terrifying issue of antibiotic resistant bacteria from over prescribing and longer than necessary courses.

  • I'm not denying that modern evolutionary theories use math and I think it's important, but that in many sciences, math isn't the focus like it is in physics. A lot of good science can be done without math. Darwin did good science without math.

    To be very clear, science doesn't need math. We use math as a tool to accurately describe phememona and relationships with math.

    I don't what you are saying about models being mathematical by definition eben if people can handle it. I don't see how the model of the cell is mathematical. Models require relationships and not mathematics to describe those relationships.

  • I'm not familiar with what they do. Describe it and I might be able to. Or not.

  • I love science

    Jump

  • I hate how we center physics and it's use of mathematical tools as the right way of doing science. Many, if not all sciences today, leverage mathmatical tools to create models. But Darwin, as far as I recall, didn't use math at all. A whole host of sciences don't approach their problems through mathematically described laws or even statistical models. Earth sciences, botany, anatomy, organic chemistry, ethnography, and archelogy come to mind.

  • I think you need to have a clearer idea of what left wing and communism are, how the CCP, PRC, and China are different, and know the CCP's argument for Taiwain is. Relately, it would be important to know the ROC's claim as well.

    Once you know what communism is, you'll have to ask yourself is the PRC communism? Can a single nation state be communist? How can a single party be legitimately move a government to communism through authoritarian means? How would it work otherwise? Is the CCP position on Taiwain imperialism? Does that argument hold water?
