3 Questions For Believers (A work in progress.)

[Rampant.A.I.]

Scientism may refer to science applied "in excess". The term scientism can apply in either of two senses:

---

[hide]To indicate the improper usage of science or scientific claims.[11] This usage applies equally in contexts where science might not apply,[12] such as when the topic is perceived to be beyond the scope of scientific inquiry, and in contexts where there is insufficient empirical evidence to justify a scientific conclusion. It includes an excessive deference to claims made by scientists or an uncritical eagerness to accept any result described as scientific. In this case, the term is a counterargument to appeals to scientific authority.
