    I haven't had a lot of scientist types get upset by it, but STEM fetishists who adulate scientists but know nothing about science? 100%.

      I mean a lot of the scientists I know are like this too. Pretty much all naive realists who still think that falsfiability is the be all end all of the demarcation problem.

          It’s always the IFLS dorks who get all hung up on falsifiability. Most hardcore scientists I know don’t take science nearly as seriously as the science masturbating otaku do.

          I didn't get one whiff of philosophy of science in either my undergrad or grad school science programs at R1s.

          I might just have been unlucky though.
