Speechless

[Alex K]

Ok, so my cynical impression is that scientism seems to be butthurt contemporary philosophers and woo peddlers fearing for their relevance. It all smells like an elaborate way of whining about science being mean to their cherished beliefs. Meh.
Long gone are the days of Hume, it seems.

The above definition also kind of begs the question, saying that scientism is when science as a source of knowledge is emphasized too much.

I think that it is more about people who want to push science where it doesn't belong (category error). 

Tell me some convincing examples where science has been pushed where it doesn't belong, that don't involve protecting religious feefees from critical inquiry
