@11112011 the irony is that right wing tards thoughtlessly disagree with mainstream views

@htimsxela @cjd @dhfir @Hyolobrika@mstdn.io the jet engine was developed long before the science was understood - I can dig it

@taylan @cjd @Hyolobrika@mstdn.io @dhfir I'm not arguing in favour of orgone energy - any theory would have to demonstrate empirical evidence, agreed.

My point is that common sense prejudices are not empirical evidence and the two are often conflated.

@vriska you don't need your own week to be based, that's a decision you can make for yourself every day

cringe but true.

@vriska international women get a day and you're just gonna grab a whole week

Wolfgang Pauli was no fool and collaborated with Jung on philosophical discussions about certain correspondences between physics and psychology. Ideas like synchronicity are almost impossible to prove in the repeatable, scientific sense - this doesn't mean they don't play a role in the lives of individuals.

True scientific advances often don't look scientific until after the fact. Quantum physics and relativity theory were both seen as outrageous at the time, see the quote above that started this conversation. Common sense =/= scientific truth, and in fact the former is informed by the latter, on a long enough time scale.

That being said, such advances come only at an extremely high threshold of hard work, intelligence, imagination and good fortune - once or twice in a century.

@Elaines2cents this the same Fukuyama who predicted the end of history when the wall came down?
