Yeah but it isn’t the key central focus of the deal anymore then. It’s just a convenient accessory.

We can still observe and discuss methods for making observations.

Yes. Hypotheses. Ideas.

But the point of the scientific method is to get us high-quality ideas. How would that cure the derangement of an idea-centered perspective?.

Maybe if you removed the model-making part. Leave the primacy of observation and the utility of peer-review. Maybe.

There is also the assumption of the central importance of ideas, which is a rather deranged perspective when you think about it.

Don’t get me wrong, ideas have high utility, for memory and language and such, but still.

An idea is just a little thing, and any association between it and the rest of reality is purely contrived.

She’s so pretty.

To be fair, the pro-work propaganda is directed at the middle of the bell curve. That guy in the middle has bespoke mindfuck beamed into his brain 24-7, but the guys on the ends are well out of the line of fire.
