>>11177417Lmao, this weird perception philosotards have about people who like science is remarkable. Most people you claim to have a "Cult-like adherence to an uncritical acceptance of the dogma of logical positivism/empiricism" actually don't care a lot of what all of that means, they simply study scientific theories and go with a framework that permits them further their own understanding. Basically, most of them aren't really interested in all the topics you mentioned, and why should them? Hell, most people in general are interested in a very limited range of topics, why the fuck do you think those topics are anything special? You could claim that at worse it's ignorance, but nowdays everyone is ignorant on a plethora of topics, as there is just too much shit too learn, and if you prefer to learn about scientific theories in certain ways, certainly you are not going to spend most time arguing about the philosophical foundations of your methods (that's why we have specialisations in philosophy of science). That humans can be stubborn and uncritical about their actions and thoughts is nothing new, and I find it pretty far streched to think this position is "cult-like".
