>>14431035Standard Models in science are the holy texts of the modern atheist religion. they hate philosophy of science because it is axiomatically agnostic, and that is insufficiently dismissive of theistic religions to the dogma of atheism.
responding to the question "how many gods?" with a nonnegative integer is moot when philosophy can quite effortlessly make you look stupid for answering the question and not tearing it to shreds.
modern science is governed by credentialism because it has been monopolized by credential-selling institutions, and any such institution's reputation is threatened by epistemology - so they take refuge from philosophy in conventionism and wonder why they can't seem to move science forward
but you wanna know something truly mind breaking? the epistemologists who know how to navigate the sociology of science have built an unassailable political shield around themselves called Critical Race Theory - the key hint is the "Critical" part. because epistemology does critical theory like nothing else.
and every time academia's establishment tries to protect themselves from critical race theory, they make themselves look like racists who are afraid that their conventions won't survive critical theory - in other words, they reveal how fucking terrified they are that the foundations of their fields won't hold up to scrutiny.
the fact accusations of racism can even end tenured academic careers is just icing on the mindfuck cake
