Actually, “science” is a human activity and must care about what you think. It’s the universe that doesn’t care about either.
Sadly a lot of people’s beliefs don’t give a fuck about science.
Is “Neither do I” written on the bottom?
This feels very 2011
I FUCKING LOVE SCIENCE
This is mostly shared as an arrogant statement towards laymen, but really, it’s a reminder for scientists themselves
No matter what you think or believe your experiment should yield, reality check is always waiting around the corner.
Nice, when seen in this light!
This is “scienceism”.
It’s referred to as “Scientism”.
yr right of course but mine sounds better.
My 2nd least favorite religion.
Science is a field of work, and its participants are able to think. But they don’t care what you and me think?
I say they do in the same way that I care about the world in general, but I don’t think they pay much attention to layfolks for the purposes of their work.
yeah, about that…yer funding…it comes in part from some of those anti-science folk… :/
I irony being anyone who owns such mug does give a fuck what you believe.
Sure does. But nature doesn’t.
“Its just my opinion”
No. Science isn’t about opinions. Its facts and nothing else.
If you’re putting your opinion in science, its no longer science.
Science cares if your beliefs make you vote for someone who defunds research.
science doesn’t care about your feelings.
Hypothesis?
Everything goes through our brains and therefore filters and interpretations. Science doesn’t happen if grants are approved and that usually means someone has something to gain. Even then, results are skewed by method and biases.
Science very much does care about our feelings, both individual and collective, every step of the way. That’s why there needs to be special care to take them out as much as possible.
Plus, statistics make up the basis of pretty much all of our science. If you dig into the foundations of stats, you’ll find that it’s basically just formalizing our feelings. It just happens to be formalized in a way that appears to reflect reality accurately enough to be useful.
