SCIENTIFIC EPISTEMOLOGY
This is the universal epistemic process for all human knowledge.
1. Experience, auto association, free association > Idea
2. Contemplation, falsification > hypothesis
3. Testing, falsification > Proposed Theory
4. Market application falsification > Working Theory
5. Exhaustive market falsification > Surviving Theory
SCIENTIFIC CLAIMS
A Fact, A Theory, and Falsification of It
1. One can claim a scientific warranty of a measure(fact) or of a narrative(theory).
2. A theory consists of two components: a transformation(operation) and a description(search).
3. And a theory requires surviving exhaustive measurements – not inference, b/c Induction is false.
EXAMPLE
I avoid the covid subject because I don’t trust any data I can find. I only have any confidence in the delta in total deaths. As far as I can tell everything else is attention-seeking hype for political, academic, commercial, or selfish ends, and any semblance of ‘science’ nil.
