the word science is overloaded there is the methodological sense, where science refers to the formation and testing of hypotheses there is the epistemological sense, where science is any of the many ways of knowing that emphasize induction, or in a stricter sense, the design and documentation of reproducible tests there is the institutional sense, where science refers to networks and organizations that purport to employ science in one or both of the previous senses, or in a looser sense, the public-facing communications and publications of such institutions much propaganda today relies on conflating these

    @HatkeshiatorTND@annihilation.social it's not an issue of overloading a word when some neomarxist dregs are really forming and testing hypotheses, as they do. the issue is that they're dogshit at it and our mechanisms to hold them accountable for it are either nonexistent or dysfunctional
