    Lol I think you’re onto something. Maybe better off sticking to sea cucumber posts.

    It did make me learn some things, though. The person who I was responding to told me to “See any textbook on the Philosophy of Science,” so I did, and I learned about the Demarcation Problem, Logical Positivism, and some new Karl Popper ideas. So, it has not led to a collaborative discussion, but it was pretty interesting, and I’m much more confident now about what’s reasonable to say about what “counts as Science.” Time well spent, IMO.

    (In case you were wondering: Any activity performed while wearing safety goggles or glasses is technically science.)
