It is a tragedy that the vast, vast, majority of people are completely ignorant to scientific thought, and form their beliefs on nothing but assumptions and emotions.

It's called common sense and it works pretty well for daily things.

It was common sense 500 years ago that the plague was caused by "bad blood". "Common sense is wrong, subjective, and usually doesn't work, unless it is shockingly simple and obvious. You are a retard.

No most people aren't able to distance themselves from their emotions AT ALL, or admit they are wrong.

the weird part is that seems to work as a feature, not a bug. those emotions are constantly farmed

Thats the problem, any complete retard can utilize these fallacies. That's literally how "I trust the science" can even be possible

That anon is kinda right, but its not about common sense. Well, maybe a little. There are fucktilion of things that needs to be done daily that require specific knowledge or skills that have little to do with science or just cover very small area of it.
People do these things as a day job, it takes a lot of space in their heads, then when you throw family there and possibly some hobby, there is really very little space for science.
They don't care and its understandable, whatever utopia you would want to sell them if they all cared, truth is, they don't need it to be happy.

> Hyperreality is a concept in post-structuralism that refers to the process of the evolution of notions of reality, leading to a cultural state of confusion between signs and symbols invented to stand in for reality, and direct perceptions of consensus reality.[1] Hyperreality is seen as a condition in which, because of the compression of perceptions of reality in culture and media, what is generally regarded as real and what is understood as fiction are seamlessly blended together in experiences so that there is no longer any clear distinction between where one ends and the other begins.[2]
having an objective view of reality is apparently not mandatory as far as evolution is concerned.

You could figure them out using science, it's very impractical for the average person, but that isn't even the point.

This misses the point I'm mostly talking about public policy, politics, their core beliefs.

every belief relies on assumption, except for 2: "i am conscious" and "i exist". those are the only 2 things you can or will ever know for sure.

I am conscious and I exist. how do you understand the two concepts anon?

to be conscious is to be aware that anything is happening. to exist is to be actual.

This is stupid, it assumes that since everything is 100% completely perfectly guaranteed true there is no point in trying to scientifically find what's true in the most objective manner.

Yours doesn't, not everything is an assumption because isn't 100% verifiable without a shadow of a doubt. It's like you forgot to mention that there are many, many things that may not be 100%, but are also 99.9999%. Even then, scientific reasoning and doctrine always has the best outcomes.

that is how it works. every belief apart from those two eventually terminates at some kind of assumption if you keep digging. and due to those unfalsifiable assumptions, other beliefs cannot be said to be unequivocally true.
