It’s definitely {insert bizarro conspiracy theory}, and not a {well understood and scientifically replicated and confirmed process}, because I said so!

Nostr can be exhausting.

Science is a scam bro
Totally
The irony that you would say this while typing on a microcomputer communicating over a global telecommunications network that use atomic based clocks for time sync.
But yeah...
It's a scam.
At least there aren't any flat earthers on Nostr right?
When there are enouth people on nostr, some percentage will be flatearthers. I hope there will no conspiracy theorists, which say that actually hash functions do not work and therefore nostr handles can not be trusted 😂 *ironieoff
I'm with you on that sentiment in 9 out of 10 cases, but there's definitely nuance to everything. Some scientific studies are either rigged or at the very least skewed depending on where the funding comes from. 🤷🏻♂️
Sure, we should scrutinize studies and there is a process for that. And yes, people fake data for various reasons. At the same time let’s acknowledge what we know and not listen to sensational pseudoscience attention seeking weirdos who make no sense.
Gosh, it's fun, though. Plus, we still can't explain gravity. (In the basic sense that gravity is not the primary influence on the formation of the universe, and we don't yet know what has been.)
Ok. But the fact, that there are things with no theory to explain it only solidifies, that science is to be trusted, when there is no counterproof. Since it shows, that not vague theory came up to fill that gap, when it can not be proofen.
Eh... I hear what your saying and don't necessarily disagree... but I do feel that this attitude falls dangerously close to "trust the science". The point of science is to be constantly questioning and seeking for better models, very few big brain scientists will admit to truely knowing things as science is really a series of theories and models used to explain phenomena until a better theory or model replaces it.
But yes, we have definitely made good sway in the fundimental sciences and we have better models now than ever before in recorded history, and there sure is a whole lot of BS snake oil out there, but conventions should still be open to be questioned in search of a better way, if someone is so inspired to pick up that mantle. And some sudo-science has been precursor to working quantum physics theories, so we shouldn't necessarily write things off just because we don't understand them. But we should definitely be careful with such things. 🤗
I'm not being deliberately difficult by the way 😆 I just believe people too quickly forget nuance these days. There are very few absolutes.
You don’t need to trust the science, it’s supposed to be verifiable and that’s why we have peer review and the reason why anything at all exists.
Yes, in theory. I'm just a bit jaded 😅
No one is writing off something because it is not understood. But in general, a good peereviewed paper, which was published in a well known paper means it is well studied and was maby already tested a second time by critiques. Since scientific findings can be reproduced.
Where any theory, that has not been peer reviewed, has not the same value for me. So it is less likely to even be studied. At least when it is in a field where my knowledge is small. When it is about electronics of physics I may have some knowledge to be able to say if it is plausible. But if it is in medicin I defnitly just lack knoledge to verify a theory myself without help of professional reviewers.
I feel you. Sometimes I do not know what is the best reaction. But I feel someone needs to factcheck those posts, so it is harf for false conspiracies to be beleaved by new people. I feel lot of pressure and counterproof should hopefullymlower the amount of people falling for it. And when there is no response yet, best to just ignore it I think.
