I'm tired of science as a religion. People treat it as some gospel, like if you check out some criterions you're suddenly "scientific" and instantly get a sense of validity and authority that you shouldn't logically get.
I judge things as "what you can do", not "what can you predict". The only demonstration of knowledge and understanding is being able to do something. Not predict. Not "scientific method" and ridiculous "peer review" (actually peer pressure), not blind trials and not rigorous statistical analysis.
In the end of the day, you either manage to do something or you don't. So much of so called science had lost all contact with reality because our judgement of success isn't successfully doing something, it is successfully jumping through "scientific" hoops. Look at string theory and social sciences. The scientific process, instead of being a tool, became the purpose. It became a stamp of validity to seek. A stamp of validity with gatekeepers in the academia, in the peer review process, in the media coverage afterwards all the way to social media censorship and "fact checkers".
What used to be the frontier of creative people became a stagnant beurocratic machine worshipped like a new religion. The side of the heretics burned at the stake became the ones crying out heresy.
Enjoy your new brand of science. I'll stick to the older brand of heretics and mad men which did whatever it was the prevailing orthodoxy told them to avoid doing and thinking, and I'll remind you that the only real reason those are remembered is because they did something useful, not because of the social traditions they adhered to or the rigorous scientific standards they followed.
