Actually scientism has a rigorous definition; it just isn't as widespread as some like to think.

It has a "rigorous" definition invented by people trying to draw specious parallels between an instrument of inquiry, and just believing in unicorns and fairies 'cause that makes us feel all tingly.

yes you don't get me....... reminding me of the student that keeps coming to class not having remembered what's been gone over and over and overrr before driving teach to kick him the F out

you don't get me. That is it.

There is nothing to get. You keep reminding me of that one gender studies prof who incessantly insists all sex is rape.

Whoever noticed the phenomenon is irrelevant. I oppose scientism primarily as one who supports science, because the belief that only by science can we know anything is not only unscientific but dangerous.

Susan... can't remember the last name, but she said that all men are by nature rapists. I guess lesbian sex wouldn't be rape, by her standard.
