Not sure if you are referring to the Flat Earth thread, but the scope of to put brakes on your enthusiasm about science has to do with the evil brought by it.

Imagine unironically thinking this

>>1481
>the evil brought by it
science is merely a tool, it can be used for both good and evil depending on who's trying to use it for what purpose. After all, the same findings that gave us the atom bomb also gave us the basis for nuclear plants, so to blame science for the actions of men is the same logical niggotry as blaming guns for the actions of people. Don't be a nigger, let us enjoy these new findings.

Seriously?

>>1481
There's is nothing "evil" about science. Science is a godly pursuit: to better understand and appreciate God's creation. The scientific method is just a tool to learn things about life.
The only """evil""" that comes about it is when corrupt journalists and politicians misattribute scientific terminology to push their individual agendas or spin media narratives. That's not science; it's just politics.

>>1479
Science isn't a religion. Most scientists are religious. A lot of the biggest breakthroughs in science have been done by Christians.

>>1489
>Science isn't a religion.
Buddha isn't a religion either, but his followers turned him into one. Same with science.

Not quite. Humans in their all embracing arrogance want to emulate God. A balance between knowledge and wisdom must be maintained.

Nothing about science excludes what you just said. Science isn't mutually exclusive with faith at all. Only fedora-tipping faggots or defensive retards think it should be.

I'm not religious at all, but science is the fundamental pillar of modern atheism, just saying.

>>1492
>unable to seek knowledge outside their "peer reviewed" sanitized opinions
Because that's not their jobs. Science is about exoteric knowledge. Spirituality/faith is esoteric knowledge, and can't be understood through scientific study.
Science can only tell you about the observable world around you, which is useful, but isn't a substitute for spirituality.

>>1501
>Spirituality/faith is esoteric knowledge, and can't be understood through scientific study.
Glad you brought it. Particle physicists have abandoned the scientific method and embraced sorcery.

>>1500
Atheists like to say that, but science up to and throughout the 20th century has largely been driven by religious people, often even in the name of religion.
Nomenclature, taxonomy, genealogy, etc. we're led by religious people, who considered it a godly endeavor to understand the world around them, not a contradiction to their faith.

>>1504

Yup, those "scientists" use charlatanry and pseudoscience instead of the proven scientific method. By the way, all funded and promoted by their bureaucracies.

On that, we can agree. Pseudoscience is the bane of science.
I wouldn't say that the entire field of particle physics is pseudoscience, but it's full of faggots who keep writing unprovable theoretical nonsense to keep the grants flowing.

We are tacking off course. The subject is that technology is evil. Should be a clamp down on science?

Explanation to this one is simple: computers are just actual demons trapped inside silicon infrastructures and "enslaved" to the will of the programmer. There is no such thing as artificial intelligence, only demonic intelligence

>>1557
>computers are just actual demons trapped inside silicon infrastructures and "enslaved" to the will of the programmer.
I'm thinking in the nature of electricity, magnetism, and the atomic "theory" (never ever anyponer has seen an atom, let alone an electron).

>>1558
If "computers are demons" what does that make computer programs?

>>1559
An interpreted language to give instructions to the demons.

>>1558
>(never ever anyponer has seen an atom, let alone an electron)
You do realize that there are other ways to indicate that something exists other than direct empiricism, right? Setting the bar to only things you can see with the naked eye is an impossible standard of evidence.

>>1557
>There is no such thing as artificial intelligence
Artificial intelligence is just a series of algorithms and input-output flowcharts. At what point in the process does there even need to be a 'demon' if that demon only amounts to a glorified button-presser?

Ah, wait, it seems the irony of that post was lost on me.

>>1561
>You do realize that there are other ways to indicate that something exists other than direct empiricism, right?
Of course. That exactly the reason why assumptions are labeled "theories".

>>1562
>Artificial intelligence is just a series of algorithms and input-output flowcharts.
Correct. AI is mostly a buzzword.
>At what point in the process does there even need to be a 'demon' if that demon only amounts to a glorified button-presser?
If the idea of demons inside chips is correct, then demons are tasked to move electrical states from buffer to buffer, like NAND and NOR gates and alike.

>>1565
>If the idea of demons inside chips is correct, then demons are tasked to move electrical states from buffer to buffer, like NAND and NOR gates and alike.
We are getting closer and closer to the autistic ASSEMBLER language.

>>1564
>assumptions
Theories are based on evidence and logic, not assumption. An assumption is just a hypothesis.

>>1565
>demons are tasked to move electrical states from buffer to buffer, like NAND and NOR gates and alike.
Why would you even need demons for such a menial, unintelligent task? We have circuit boards.

>>1569
>An assumption is just a hypothesis.
Correct, and in science those hypothesis are labeled theories. Because science is never settled and is always evolving, those assumptions/theories/hypothesis are expected to be demolished and replaced by new ones.

>>1573
An hypothesis is an assumption before research/experimentation, a theory is made to explain data generated from said research. Get it right faggot.

>>1575
And yet to explain the atomic theory, demons may have their place.

>>1573
>in science those hypothesis are labeled theories
That's not science at all. That's just positivism and corporate media manipulation. Don't misconstrue pseudoscience with actual science.
Theories are based on evidence and data. They're subject to change as new discoveries are made, but they're more than just assumptions.

>>1595
It makes you wonder, what the fuck is going on inside those silicon layers and on the disk's platters.

>>1570
>Why would you even need demons for such a menial, unintelligent task? We have circuit boards.
It is possible demons are using the electric devices as portals to our realm.

>>1597
Why would demons need electrical devices to do such a thing? What component of the device is the portal?

>>1600
>What component of the device is the portal?
Did you even watch the video?

>>1602
No, I didn't yet. I was asking you what your take from it was before if I decide that this is worth 10 minutes of my time.

>>1604
Pretty much this.
Also it gets interesting when you consider the almost exponential increasing of hard drives' capacity. When you dismount an old unit and compare it against the new ones, and consider the platter' surface square millimeters involved, there is something really fishy about it.

Not really, tbh. Microstructures and material engineering drastically multiply surface area.

>>1610
>Microstructures and material engineering
After the covid psyop, science and scientists lost all credibility. Any claim is in doubt and needs independent assessment, even the very foundations of matter, such us the periodic table.

>>1612
>independent assessment
What kind of independent assessment? Who would do it?
These aren't studies observed by scientists; they're products made by engineers.

>>1612
>the periodic table
What's disputed about the periodic table?

>>1612
>science and scientists lost all credibility. Any claim is in doubt and needs independent assessment
That's what the peer review process is. Scientists review eachothers work all of the time. Sometimes they disagree, and sometimes they reaffirm studies.

>>1613
>>1614
>>1615
It is understandable, but the framework laid to explain the physical world is amiss and with many loose ends..

>>1613
>What kind of independent assessment? Who would do it?
>These aren't studies observed by scientists; they're products made by engineers.
Let us see an example of independent assessment on science. Easily reproducible and ridiculous cheap.
If the experiment can be replicated, then all those "scientists" and "engineers" are making assumptions on the foundations of false theories. Let's watch.

>>1617
>If the experiment can be replicated,
Do you really expect corporations to reveal the designs for their patented products? It's already hard enough to prevent chunks from stealing them.

>>1617
I don't see the part where it implies demons are involved.
Even if they're keep secrets about methods, there's little evidence to suggest that it's anything special other than structural/material engineering on a small scale.

Dall-E is weird

>>1610
>Not really, tbh. Microstructures and material engineering drastically multiply surface area.

That is what we are told. Closer inspection of a mechanic arm and its magnetic reader put in doubt the "scientific" narrative.

>>1643
>Closer inspection of a mechanic arm and its magnetic reader put in doubt the "scientific" narrative.
What are you talking about?

>>1684
I think anon was talking about square surface, track's dimensions, and surface's properties to storage digital data; plus the capacity of the magnetic reader to discriminate among tracks.

>>1685
What does that have to do with demons?

>>1686
I believe it is about fake science not able to perform as published and therefore something fishy inside the hardware.

>>1687
Saying it's demons is still jumping to conclusions.

>>1688
True, but a valid theory nevertheless.

>>1689
A theory is based on evidence and testing. That's just a hypothesis.

>>1690
>A theory is based on evidence and testing
Evidence shows that behind the eyes limitations there is another realm and the beings living there my cross to ours under certain conditions and cause physical manifestations.

>>1691
There's still no evidence to suggest that record players are somehow powered by demons, let alone testing.

>>1691
>Evidence shows
What evidence?

>>1693
Okay, I understand now. You are an atheist and cannot see.

>>1694
I didn't say that, nigger. I am naturally skeptical of ideas that suggest that my phone is powered by demons.
>cannot see
Nobody can "see" that sort of thing, retard. It's not exoteric knowledge, it's esoteric: it is not empirical evidence that you can see. So when you say you have "evidence" of it, please explain what evidence it is you have, because that would be fascinating.

>>1949
Why would you consider the technology that can improve human cognition and athletic ability to be a tranny meme? I understand there are a lot of troons in the biohacking scene and that a lot of that stuff is over hyped but that tech is making leaps and bounds. That technology could be very useful and it's biotech that isn't in the hands of major pharmaceutical companies, surely that is something good.

Also with more major advancements it could be used for pony waifu.
