I’m curious what you think the scientific method is
Emotions (like regret) are not falsifiable, because they are not scientific phenomena. Similarly, you cannot have a scientific study on whether art is good, or if god is real, because they are by definition unscientific phenomena. That is why unscientific studies like this post, should not be allowed in a forum on science.
But perhaps the more important point here, is that conflating unscientific matters with actual science, has been at the heart of the anti-science movement, since science was discovered. It makes it much easier to discredit all of science as a whole, when you start claiming that social studies is science.
Where the hell are the mods for this sub?
Is this a propaganda sub?
There is no objectively falsifiable hypothesis, or imperially reproducible result.
Don’t bring science into politics, that’s what religions and governments have tried to do for years as part of propaganda / anti-science campaigns. It never goes well even if you think it’s morally correct, because scientific reality does not always align with, nor does it care about current morality. Nevertheless science is objectively true.
Ok but both are still completely unscientific, as is the entire field of psychology. It’s fine to call it research, but to conflate it with science is 100% false.
Isn’t this the opposite of science?
Why not post “finding faith saves lives” ?
It would be equally empirical.
How is this any different than any church in history?
good point

That would be meta considering the Russians were the ones who got to hitler, shortly after he killed himself.
I’m pretty sure they don’t care about children
The nukes are their primary strength
As if that is the biggest problem with Russia right now
Subjective, by definition, cannot be objective. It sounds like you’re talking about social studies.
