The Ownership of Science

[Anomalocaris]

if by validity you mean conjecture is more likely to be right than any pure bullshit that there is no other form of valid intellectual conjecture.  all other forms are 100% bullshit.

So you're saying everyone in the world who doesn't put science above all else - which is quite a lot of people - are all wrong?

exactly.  everything they say is bullshit because everything they say can have no better chance of being right than any random bullshit.  in fact what they say is very often even  less likely to be true than mere random bullshit because they deny science specifically for the purpose of rejecting what is more likely to be true..    so they preferentially aim their guessing darts at where the truth is already known to not be..
