Agnosticism IS the most dishonest position

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Scientism is a buzzword used by philosophers to demean actual attempts at knowledge. While their own field has failed spectacularly.

I think that’s an oversimplification. Scientism can be boiled down to the statement, ‘Only scientific statements have value.’ This is self-defeating because not only is it patently untrue, it is not a scientific statement. For example, ‘I love my wife’ or ‘I hate bagpipe music’ both have value without being scientific statements.

But I agree with you to the extent that science wins hands down over philosophy when it comes to both utility and the increase of knowledge.
