| 15. Ask a scientist if science is subjective |
|
Edited on Sat Aug-30-08 08:00 AM by kwolf68
Dumbest thing I've ever heard.
Science can have NO subjectivity in it. You could theoretically make a hypothesis that is subjective, but all your testing and experimentation HAS to be objective.
See, the reason is because if you create some bullshit science project to produce a 'subjective' conclusion then the peer-reviewed community will expose you as a quack and a fraud and your work will be quickly discredited.
Science is the LAST bastion of objectivity.

Yes, get to know him better. He is most likely just offering a postmodern critique. Very normal. |

Far more likely to be a constructivist. That means postmodernist. That means liberal. |

As others said, he is likely a post-modernist. I too dabbled in social constructionism where all |
