      Scientism is a helluva drug

      As someone that is very much into science, I agree. That's why one of my favourite albums of all time is "Dear Science" by TV On The Radio. It's very much a critique of scientism and a critique on the "corruption of science", if you will.

      If you've watched Breaking Bad walter-shock before you've probably heard this song from the album already, but it just sums it up perfectly.

          Exactly, as the song says about the fetishism of science:

          Eternalized, objectified
          You set your sights so high
          But this is beginning to feel like the bolt busted loose from the lever

              One can only hope, and he does seem to be really losing it lately.

              But I have a strong feeling that the "death professor" referred to in the song could be Oppenheimer, which makes sense if you see the song as describing the progress of science towards a nuclear detonation, from the barely controlled locomotive (steam era) to the static explosion of a nuclear warhead.

        Consider having an inexplicable log in issue that makes it so you can't log onto hexbear on your work computer. That's what I do
