Interesting dichotomy. I like when fools are forced to work within a structure. For example, astrology is a science even if it's results are incorrect and superstitious. It still uses scientific method based on planetary movement. I think you're confusing pseudoscience with science. Pseudoscience can create systems and use technical-sounding terminology without ever subjecting itself to the kind of rigorous empirical testing that's necessary for something to qualify as genuine science, and that's precisely how astrology works. The fact that it utilizes some scientific facts, like planetary movement, in no way lends any scientific credence to the hypothesis that those movements affect people's personalities or futures. It's almost Zen to force yourself to use an illogical frame of reference. That was my point. I'm not confusing anything. I know astrology is bunk. We're only choosing between two options here. The Babylonians treated astrology as a science. You seem to be saying it's only science if it's correct. Many scientific theories even under current standards are proven wrong. Are they no longer science? |
