In Chile, in 1960, after the great Valdivia earthquake, in a small beach town in southern Chile, to “calm the seas” after the tsunami, a mapuche machi (chilean indigenous people; chaman), did a human sacrifice, killing a little child, they were absolved because they “were acting in accordance of an extreme fear of their gods of their belief”, and it angers me always so much that story.
When they tell me to respect other people’s believes, I always think of that case, is then OK to kill children if you say is to “calm your angered gods?” Apparently yes, fuck that no I won’t accept people believeing in bullshit.

Actually, “science” is a human activity and must care about what you think. It’s the universe that doesn’t care about either.
Science cares if your beliefs make you vote for someone who defunds research.
I irony being anyone who owns such mug does give a fuck what you believe.
Is “Neither do I” written on the bottom?
Sure does. But nature doesn’t.
Sadly a lot of people’s beliefs don’t give a fuck about science.
This is “scienceism”.
It’s referred to as “Scientism”.
yr right of course but mine sounds better.
My 2nd least favorite religion.
This feels very 2011
I FUCKING LOVE SCIENCE
yeah, about that…yer funding…it comes in part from some of those anti-science folk… :/
Science is a field of work, and its participants are able to think. But they don’t care what you and me think?
I say they do in the same way that I care about the world in general, but I don’t think they pay much attention to layfolks for the purposes of their work.
Everything goes through our brains and therefore filters and interpretations. Science doesn’t happen if grants are approved and that usually means someone has something to gain. Even then, results are skewed by method and biases.
Science very much does care about our feelings, both individual and collective, every step of the way. That’s why there needs to be special care to take them out as much as possible.
Plus, statistics make up the basis of pretty much all of our science. If you dig into the foundations of stats, you’ll find that it’s basically just formalizing our feelings. It just happens to be formalized in a way that appears to reflect reality accurately enough to be useful.
This is mostly shared as an arrogant statement towards laymen, but really, it’s a reminder for scientists themselves
No matter what you think or believe your experiment should yield, reality check is always waiting around the corner.
Nice, when seen in this light!
science doesn’t care about your feelings.
The only fuck Science gives is on/in the other end, Like at the Cortex Relay’s battle for the Truth 's broadcast.
Some people just don’t understand what some words mean. Some people think they no everything. Some people think that they are limited to any arbitrary awareness dimensions that they know of. Some people think there are only a certain number of dimensions.
Some people Fly Fire like it’s obviously the only way physics work and they they know what matter is.
Some people ask questions. Some people SkewEl and tell people they know.
Sum people just do the math ;but what dimensions is/are Math relevant to?
