@sincristo Cause I'm bored waiting on Basic, might as well hunt a troll, if not me, then who? :D You make no point, you have an askewed perspective that glorifies Fracis Bacon as if he where God and invented science, simple. I mean, your on an accupuncture page even, so troll fo sho. Acupuncture works, maybe not as ultimately intended or for tradionally why, but what matters is the result, wether the core belief is right or not, now go bug somebody else :D

@wiggalama Troll? Really?  Who was it that said "Those who insult are people who give up and go for the last word."

I'm obviously not a troll; I have a point to make and I've made it, apparently too well for your liking.

Keep believing in sorcery and folk medicine if you like. I'm done with you.

@sincristo we advanced so quickly cause of technological advances that ALLOWED tech to increase faster due to higher populations researching, globalization and sharing of knowledge,and easier techniques to get to resources.Look up mass production, steam power,and ELECTRICITY.Those old chinese myths have a basis in the compass,gunpowder first suspension bridges,first alcohol spread even,first mass production, paper,paper money,etc.Wether it works the way we think or not, it still works troll.

@sincristo Will you shut the fuck up, you constantly keep claiming "real science" and act like all the inventions in the past 300 years are western, do the research. I was showing you how stating the basics of something is not necessary to know them. Rhetoric has a core like generalized empirical perspective, science IS a religion because it has no certainty, it relies on human senses of perspective and has faith in universal acceptance therein, THAT is what a religion is.

[sincristo]

@wiggalama Why drag Aristotle into this? Science is by nature exact, rhetoric is not. It's a silly analogy.

Look up "scientific method" and you'll see I'm not inventing a false distinction between ancient and modern versions of science. Once the method was codified and applied universally, humans began to advance at a rapid pace, precisely because the errors of great thinkers could be ferreted out and discarded.

Acupuncture is based on old Chinese myths. It doesn't qualify as science. Period.

[sincristo]

@wiggalama That's incorrect. Without a framework like the scientific method, human biases too easily taint our observations. Additionally, such a standardized method makes the results of experimentation repeatable by others, providing a very strict filter for what is considered "valid". Things like acupuncture, alchemy and phrenology were fine first attempts at understanding the world; but none of them hold up to scientific scrutiny, so they have been discarded as junk science.

[wiggalama]

@sincristo How so, they took data, worked throught trial, error, and logic, and advanced mankind. And enough of the "real" science logical fallacy nonsense, science is science. Experimentation and empirical data where done by the scientific method regardless of it not being categoritzed. Look at rhetoric: ethos, pathos, logos, well before and well after, with or without knowing this, one can still make a skilled arguement. You also seem to be forgetting the globalization of knowledge.

[sincristo]

@wiggalama The "science" of antiquity is not the same thing as the modern science, and yes, the advent of real science can be traced to the scientific method. There were attempts at experimentation and empirical observation by extraordinarily intelligent people (Chinese, Persian, Egyptian, Greek) but these brilliant minds lacked the crucial framework of modern science: the scientific method. So their discoveries were mixed with mysticism and superstition, resulting in things like acupuncture.

[wiggalama]

@sincristo 1. Scientific advances of the ancient world=gunpowerder, paper, paper money, printing...oh look, chinese creations :D Etruscans built the first aquaducts which the Romans got, Romans made concrete and glass, chinese made first chrome even, etc... You honestly think that just cause the basics of the "scientific method" had not been canonized yet that science didn't exist? 2. Thats because the West caught up and blended its info with theirs, then all efforst became Global, not WESTERN.
