Reminds me of the number one requirement for a scientific mind – Good Faith approach to learning from all the available evidence.  The learning is more important the the Ego. –CC

I almost started a new thread, “Is Science Scientific?” A bit snarky, but I have introduced my questions about the unfinished work of the Enlightenment, so philosophically, there are a lot of ways to take that question. It’s circular, we all admit that. But that’s the opposite of dogma. Science allows questions about everything in science including the scientific method. I just heard again yesterday, Weinstein’s podcast I think, that scientific journals need to make money, so they are more likely to publish things that will be accepted. They need to pass review of course or risk backlash, and a well presented finding that challenges convention will get through the process, but, point is, they police themselves and take criticism.
