>>12057389 the picture is really retarded. It's like a redefinition of empiricism by scientists.
Scientists are not empiricists. An empiricist does not run an experiment. Running an experiment already is part of rationalism.
The whole secular infatuation over empiricism started by the self proclaimed enlightened secular rationalists who hated the christian rationalists larping as greek philosophers.
The secular intellectuals hated the endless christian speculations that they saw as unverifiable about god and the use of logic from aristotle. So they said they could speculate on nature and with their verification meme, their rationalist system about the world would be the truth.
So in order to be separate from the christian clerics, the secular rationalists said they were empiricist. Their big idea was the ''''''''''''''''''''''''empirical proof'''''''''''''''''''''''' which is completely retarded oxymoron.
A proof is never empirical. A proof always on the side of speculations passed as ''rationality''.
