Video introduction: Deconstructing the myth of science, part two.

Discussion of what science is and how it works.

Emphasis on non-ideological and insight-driven teachings.

Importance of independent contemplation and insight derivation.

Addressing objections early due to the mind's filtering mechanisms.

Addressing Objections to the Deconstruction of Science

Objection 1: Undermining science is dangerous and opens the door to pseudoscience.

Response: Questioning science is necessary; the ego can misuse any teaching.

Objection 2: Science evolves and betters itself; critique is pointless.

Response: Science evolves when people change their minds about its workings.

Objection 3: Science doesn't claim to pursue truth; it improves lives.

Response: Pragmatism equates manipulating reality with truth, which is problematic.

Objection 4: How can science work if it isn't true?

Objection 5: Science is simply observation.

Objection 6: Show evidence contradicting science.

Objection 8: Using science makes the speaker a hypocrite.

Problem 2: The recontextualization problem.

Problem 3: The entanglement problem (multiple sub-problems).

Thought experiment: VR simulation to illustrate the relevance of philosophy.

Problem 4: The number one enemy of truth is belief.

Problem 5: The overleveraged problem in science.

Problem 8: The problem of falsifiability.

Problem 9: The problem of infinity and incompleteness.

Summary: Questioning all assumptions made by science.

Science benefits from rigorous questioning.

Loyalties should lie with truth, not human inventions.

Scientists are not conspiring; this is a human condition.
