Triggered leftist!! I kick homeless people and enjoy watching them starve. Only a commie would share especially with the poor who deserve a terrible life. I am a proud free marketer and stupid people who give stuff to others with no intent of monetary gain are stupid and should suffer! My great great uncle donated money to poor people in some African country nobody cared about and died from not being able to pay for treatment. I don’t know or care what disease it was or that I could have easily payed for it. Anyway, sharing is not caring and communists like you are evil. They will destroy humanity by being greedy hypocrites!

Throwback to younger me who literally wrote a businessman kicking the homeless back when I first joined the site about five years ago.
Looking back I was a really bad right-libertarian back then.

No, I was roleplaying a civil war within my nation and wrote one of the factions as being led by an ebul businessman who literally kicked a homeless man.
I think if you search my post history you should be able to find it. Plz no bulli, tho, I was 14.

You don't think that what is that widespread or prevalent? That positivism is dying? Factually, that is true.

Ok to write it or ok to do it?
Yes to the first (obviously; no now) and no to the latter.

Science is using the scientific method, most academics don't do that, and you know it.
That is based on positivism, a dying philosophy of science. There is no such thing as the scientific method. Each field has its own scientific methods.
No, that's not what's happened at all, fields that want to have the public respectability of science masquerade as sciences. You cannot have a science where you cannot have the ability to replicate your results. That's why history and fields like it are not science.

Are you telling me you've never replicated the Battle of Teutoburg Forest with one of those home chemistry kits?
Smh, get with the times old man.

If we're talking "soft" science a la sociology and anthropology and what not, it's important simply to say that most of the subject matter cannot be studied in a lab setting. Nonetheless, we know it to be knowledge of some sort. In the absence of better methodologies for the fields, one has to take them and their results seriously.

Eh, that dude was an asshole anyway. What type of person gets happy that billions of people died just because it gives him more time to read books?

History isn't a science, but matters like sociology, economics, etc, very much are. It's the distinction between natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities.

Very few cases of dissatisfaction result in violence.

It's only representative in the sense that the competitors ritualistically invoke the name of the people. The entire industry is mass psychological manipulation. It sets false limits on the possible and extracts formulaic statements of consent on the misleading basis that the window of socioeconomic possibility offered by the candidates is all that there is.
It doesn't represent a natural consensus, it constantly works to create that consensus by systematically denigrating anything outside. As the game is inherently stacked in favour of the most powerful interest groups with the best propaganda machinery, the results cannot be meaningfully representative.
It bares more resemblance to the concept of "managing up the chain of command" than it does actual service of the people and their interests. The elites have been forced into offering us two superficially different choices for what they intended to do all along, with the only real impact of the transition meaning they can now successfully demonize any attempts to influence them outside of this choice, whether armed rebellion, protest, etc.
It has also meant the elites have abandoned any pretense of the nobles obligation and can blame the public for their own "Bad decisions" rather than accept systemic mismanagement and incompetence by the ruling class.

we'll you're the one who said there's no conflict that cannot be reconciled. I assumed it involved compromise, else we may as well just call violence a form of reconciliation, which would be quite ridiculous.

In some things they can replicate their results, but you can't really come up with a scientific explanation that covers all of society, and all human societies, because that isn't replicable.

Well, not until we can engineer tiny humans.
