Science of the Gaps
Mainstream science is overrated.
Most of the reason it feels so effective and all-explaining is a cognitive illusion.
Most people overestimate how solvent scientific consensus actually is.

I saw Joe Rogan’s recent interview of Mel Gibson.

Gibson said that he was a creationist and didn’t believe in evolution.
Joe pushed back a bit, saying that mainstream science had found remnants of putatively proto-humans.

Here is a snippet of Mel’s response and the back and forth:

10 Scientists Convicted of Serious Crimes
“Follow the science” and “trust the science” have become mantras of late. Science is, after all, typically regarded as being unbiased, producing reliable knowledge based on empirical methods that are independent of sociopolitical and economic influences, falsifiable, and replicable. The problem is that science’s accuracy and reliability depend on the ethics of the scientists who […]

10 Crazy Ideas for Colonizing Outer Space
Are we humans destined for outer space? It would seem so. Because eventually, what’s a civilization to do other than expand to other worlds beyond its own comfortable cosmic nursery?

10 Scientific Estimates That Missed the Mark by a Mile
Science is built on hypothesis, experimentation, and refinement, but history is full of spectacularly wrong estimates made by brilliant minds.

Whether due to bad data, technological limitations, or simply a lack of knowledge […]

PhD level science questions? (+1)

niftydude an hour ago

A PhD level science question is a question that can only be answered by scientific research and experimentation.

And no, by “research”, I do not mean googling.

Literally the whole point of a scientific PhD is to perform experiments and study to answer a specific research question that no one has looked into yet.

Hello twtxt! I’m James (or @falsifian@www.falsifian.org). I live in Toronto. Recent interests include space complexity, simple software, and science fiction.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Somewhere or another, I think in a William Byrd talk, I heard it suggested that the best ideas in computer science should fit on an index card (ah yes it’s this one: https://paperswelove.org/2017/video/will-byrd-most-beautiful-program/ ). He was referring to the basic principles of LISP/the lambda calculus, which have sometimes been called the Maxwell’s equations of computer programming (by Alan Kay). Simple, short, elegant, but very densely packed with meaning–generations of people have spent their whole careers unpacking what those simple rules can do.

Much of modern software feels like the polar opposite of that. Not only can you not write it on an index card, you never will be able to because people who write software don’t seem to aspire to try. I wish more people thought this way though!

This reminds me of this video: The Biggest Gap in Science: Complexity
However you might end up with more questions (complexity?) than answers (simplicity?)

Miracles and Black Swans

The standard modern scientific worldview cannot admit miracles and cannot admit the paranormal.

That’s not the same as saying the scientific worldview disbelieves in miracles or the paranormal (although most modern science fans do).

Nor is it the same as saying that the scientific worldview refutes or disproves miracles or the paranormal.

People get all of these confused, but to state it clearly:
