Family Issues Are Keeping Me Occupied So I'll Knock Over A Hornet's Nest

Rupert and Charles Eisenstein talk about the foundations of science, both as an institution and as a path to knowledge. Like all the institutions of modernity, science faces a crisis that is increasingly recognized within science itself.

The Crisis of Science 

Charles Eisenstein takes a few minutes to get into the swing of things but it's worth waiting for it when that happens.   I know, going into this, that my typical trolls will pretend to have listened to it when they haven't so I'll only post what they say if it's entertainingly clueless. 

What Sheldrake says about the replicability crisis is a serious problem which I attribute to a number of conditions in science, not least of which is the arrogant, unwarranted confident belief in materialism.  The fact is that a lot of it is a moral lapse of scientists not being honest about their data, only publishing the data that confirms what they want to be true, of journals allowing a superficial and pro-forma replacement for review and publishing science done to order.  

More interesting, in light of what David Bentley Hart said about the destructive effects of the mechanistic view of reality, is the discussion between Eisenstein and Sheldrake of how that view of reality is part of us destroying the environment.  

Lots for the materialists and atheists to hate on in this one, you might note the difference in tone between Sheldrake and their febrile rage. 

Update:  Well, I'm not shocked to find out that the silly bint doesn't keep up with issues in science, I figured anyone who spent so much time gossiping at E-ton was probably pretty much going through the motions at the lab she supposedly works in.   Maybe she should look at Nature from time to time.   Try googling Nature Magazine Reproducibility Crisis and see what comes up.   I found this article from last September to be especially eye-opening, it was illustrated with the cartoon mentioned in the podcast.
