Very interesting. I didn’t know about metascience. I think the article raises a very good point. An overt focus on being empirical without any questioning of what that actually entails, or, in other words, dismissing philosophy, is always a red flag for me. Ironic Metascience considers itself Popperian, given Popper’s criticism of positivism also rested in their dismissal of certain branches of philosophy
