    I assume that i will disagree, but i think it mainly is because “the dogma of science” is a phrase that i immediately recognize as a right wing talking point.

    But since you kind of only put that out there and i don’t expect right wing idiots on Lemmy i’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and ask you to kindly elaborate a bit.

    What is the dogma of science? Who holds it? What sciences? All of them? Just STEM? And speaking of, who is obsessed with STEM? How and where does that obsession express itself?

      SCIENTISM

      Damn, even threatened with being call right-wing. Science folks always balk when it is ever brought up. I suppose I can understand having to “defend” scientific findings from the dogmas of creationists, but this doesn’t mean science and scientists are not vulnerable to dogma or to the very epistemological supremacism that has been the intellectual basis for genocide and empire building.
