Theism is extremely efficient in terms of time to decision.

How about no religion, of any kind.

How can you be comfortable with not knowing? It's one of the most fundamental human drives to seek understanding.

>>17083163
It's doomed to failure. Scientism relies on future achievement to justify itself, so the second it fails to produce that it loses the mandate of heaven.
Christianity by comparison is already feature complete, it doesn't matter if the promised afterlife is actually real or not because nobody can go in to check then come back to tell us.

How can you be comfortable with not having sex? It's one of the most fundamental human drives to seek sex. Your scientism is undermining your well-being by forcing you to wear a fedora at all times.

>>17083295
I know there are known unknowns, unknown knowns and unknown unknowns.

The only people who think scientism isn’t the best method we have are the sort of people who fundamentally don’t know what science even is, or how simplistic science even is.

Here you go OP

That means nothing. Scientism won the epistemological war. There is no better alternative.

>Scientism won the epistemological war
How do you know that?

>>17083163
Science is completely arbitrary and most people are more retarded than ever before from it.
>>
>>17083446
Science is not arbitrary. Scientists are.

>>17083449
>Science (discipline rooted entirely in axioms and assumptions) is not arbitrary
Keep telling yourself that.

>>17083434
Find me a better alternative. There are no better epistemological alternatives. You can even argue that any attempt at gaining information period is science. It’s literally just taking advantage of cause and effect. Bashing rocks together is a science.

>>17083457
Science is not arbitrary.
Scientists are egotistical twats who can’t accept being told they were wrong.
Much like you. Yikes!
Anyway better luck with your project!

>Bashing rocks together is a science.
Pounding that keyboard made you a writer.
>>
>>17083479
Technically, yes. Professionally and creatively, no.
>>
>>17083481
At least you understand your own stupidity.
Now go back to your “laboratory” and smash your balls with rocks for science.
Fucking idiot monkey.
>>
>>17083483
LOL you got fucking owned, buddy.
>>
>>17083163
Give me the scientism criteria for better. Hard mode: securing more taxpayer dollars is not more better
