/r/ScientismToday
This subreddit is dedicated to inquiry into scientism: if it exists, and if it does, what are its instances and what to do about supporting, managing, suppressing or eradicating it.
The moderators are currently convinced scientism exists and is widespread enough so as to present serious challenges to open, free and intelligent inquiry. However, differing viewpoints are welcome and will not be suppressed insofar as they relate to the topic of this subreddit and are not hateful or illegal.

What is scientism?
There are a few ways of answering this question.
The dictionary definition is as follows: the belief that the assumptions, methods of research, etc., of the physical and biological sciences are equally appropriate and essential to all other disciplines, including the humanities and the social sciences.
Here's a link to a pdf article delineating six signs of scientism by English Professor of Philosophy and Law at the University of Miami, Susan Haack: (http://pervegalit.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/haack-six-signs-of-scientism-october-17-2009.pdf)
Hermeneutically speaking, scientism is a word which is used to label the apparent attempt by the scientific community and/or academia to gain an unreasonable measure of control over the ideas pursued by their peers and the efforts made to dismiss, disrupt, defame or slander those who question the consensus view of the scientific body of knowledge.

There is a false flag attack on anything that goes against the elites’ ideology.
That exists on almost every field of science right now. On a massive scale this false flag attack has been going on the issue of pandemic. There are hundreds of proofs that the coronavirus vaccine causes severe illness side effects and even death but the media and the science community is blind about it. The whole world is suffering from confirmation bias and suppressing anyone who goes against the holy book of scientism. Recently I said “covid pandemic is a scam” and got banned from 2 subreddits which weren’t about science. This widespread mind disease is ruining true unbiased science and the way to reach the ultimate truth.

Mark Passio's A.R.K (Amazing Repository of Knowledge) Available For Download
I think this is an important resource for everyone in these times of abhorrent censorship.

From Mark's site: "I have been online since the days before the World Wide Web became popular. Since that time, I began collecting, studying and archiving information about our world and the events that have been occurring in it. I never left it to chance that information I came across during my search would always be available online. So, whenever I found something that I thought was worthwhile, I downloaded it and backed it up offline. As you can imagine, this much data archiving would result in an enormous amount of material. Quite frankly, it would be hard for me even to describe the amount of information I have pulled from this repository of knowledge and experience that we call the Internet.
Years ago, a friend asked me if I could place the best material that I had collected onto a hard drive for him, so that he could browse it and study it according to his interests, and at his pace and leisure. I said yes, and began the task of collecting the best data that I had gathered into a huge digital library, and copied it onto the hard drive that my friend provided. I then thought, why not share this information by making it available to anyone who wants it?
The A.R.K. drive consists of over 3,400 video files, 9,500 digital books, and 26,000 audio files. These files will always be available to you for offline browsing, playback and study, with no internet connection required to access any of the data on the drive. You may then "pass it along" by sharing any or all of this information with anyone you wish.

Scientism: Forgetfulness of the Map/Terrain distinction
Hello.
What similaritiy is there between the taste of a strawberry and a mathematical equation?
What similarity is there then between a mathematical equation and empirical reality?
I came across this video: Alchemy is the Map; Will is the Terrain
Seems give some interesting insights into the fundamental problems of scientism.
Any thoughts?
