Critical look at zetetics

I came across (as far as this one exists!) this interesting analysis of zetetics and therefore of scientism in general

these are not comments that replace any discourse, but the speech itself that you probably did not listen to, it is of a different cultural level than what I heard and read about zetetics where it anything is said, preferably.In addition, the comments of the video are disabled, another hint ...
It is very idealized. The little that I listened to and read coming from this information, it is precisely a desire to impose their opinion (on the few subjects that I know best and which are not numerous because it is better not to disperse too much. ) under the pretext of openness of thought, which is rarely (if ever) the case. For concrete proof, you zetetic at all costs, considering that only they hold any truth and that any opinion other than theirs is a lie. It’s brain stuffing, conditioning, Catholicism in its time. Except that instead of evoking an almighty god, their god (finally the one that they build according to their needs and ideology), they call it science.Zetetics is precisely not to let information impose itself by doing his research himself, but with well defined and rigorous criteria. It is possible on the net with a little effort.
that they look at themselves, maybe they will eventually realize it.A site with sometimes errors but rather with a zetetic approach Fake news and conspiracy, why such acceleration?
So they should start by applying their own philosophy to themselves, then !.On facebouk there are several zetetic groups, mainly this one. Janic if you register, I advise you to read well before intervening, because the mods are intractable on the interventions not sourced correctly or the debates of opinion.
this approach is very interesting, but very limited, even completely unsuitable, in biology where the phenomena are of such complexity that the biggest of big data would explode in spite. By cons this is quite possible for chemistry, very simplistic by comparison. This is, moreover, the big problem of zetetics incapable of mastering the living as a whole.I prefer "La Pensée Bayesienne"
You may be a player, but I find that it blurs the tracks, we must start with some simple old principles which mainly concerned the paranormal and the past UFOs of fashion, but which are still currentthibr wrote:I prefer "La Pensée Bayesienne"
What is the zetetic method?
The zetetic method, in its broad sense, is a set of tools allowing to exercise critical thinking based on methodical doubt and making it possible to make an enlightened sort between probable information and false true information. This tool is not used to be absolutely right, but to realize when one is wrong so that one can constantly revise one's judgments with full knowledge of the facts. Historically, this tool has been refined to prove or refute paranormal phenomena or pseudo-sciences.
Knowing whether information is true or not is difficult. With the Internet, information is everywhere and quickly accessible. But it is often biased, biased and rarely sourced. Under these conditions, everything and anything can be advanced and be taken for real. The use of the zetetic method allows you to create a mental map as close as possible to the state of current knowledge or the likelihood of an exposed fact, in the light of existing evidence. This allows you to realize what is a knowledge (what we know) of what is a belief (what you think we know). https://www.lesieur.name/zetetique/
