:thumbup:

Another way to put it is that science uses observations to explain the nature, when new observations are made new explanations can be made.

I already posted this elsewhere, but its a good introduction to the scientific method.

There must be plenty of drugs that show some degree of promise as treatments though. Ivermectin (and HCQ before it) are the ones that caught the attention of the pundits though, and that seems to be the main reason we've heard about them so much.




I mostly know about it from reading studies which do not appear to be partisan. I can't comment on the pundits.

Ivermectin gets a lot of attention because of the fact that it is both highly effective and because a lot of countries are making it widely available to their citizens. It's also cheap to manufacture. It has made a huge difference in India, Mexico, Japan, and other countries that haven't turned it into a political issue.

The US is retarded because it politicizes every fucking thing into a left vs. right debate. Which is sad. It needs to stop. It is costing people their lives.




I don't think Japan actually used it widely, the chairman of the Tokyo Medical Association strongly suggested at least twice that it should be investigated, but nothing ever came of that to the best of my knowledge. Is there anything I am missing?

Science is not math, but math is a science. Rectangles and squares. The abstractions provided by math can lead to absolutely exact descriptions of concepts. This can give you absolutely accurate proofs of certain phenomenon. To use gravity as an example once again, nobody know how or why gravity is a thing, but using mathematics, I can definitely prove the trajectory of any object in relation to any other object. Similarly, I can use the trajectory of two objects in relation to one another to prove the existence of a third object.

Math is not science, it is art. There are many mathematics applications for scientific study, but unlike math or logic scientists don't create proofs. Instead scientists offer explanations supported by real world details such as observations, explanations can be corroborated (Well supported) with repeated observations. Additionally a valid scientific theory does not require any known evidence or observations, take string theory for instance.

You may find this essay interesting.

We’ve discussed the data. You’re late to the party.  Chopstick has been shilling for ivermectin for a long time.

The data is a fast moving target, but its clear you would rather interject with authoritative statements about things you haven't even looked at than contribute to any discussion.

If math is an art then science is an art. Your essay makes the distinction between real world experimentation and imaginary experimentation, which is, frankly, stupid. The entire thing is about how someone should be left to their own devices and allowed to think: what happens if I do this? Neat!

That is literally how science works.

Further, the point of art, to me, is to generate emotion. Math doesn't generate emotion, short of "Eureka!" There is no correct way to paint, but there is a correct answer to 2+2. The author of your essay repeatedly equates the two. A better title for this essay would be "Ode to a shitty teacher".

Moving on.

Scientists can absolutely create proofs of how things will happen. They may not be able to fully prove why things will happen, but they can absolutely prove how those things will happen. Often using math, because math is an exact science.

As far as string theory, that's the physics equivalent of getting really really high and saying some random dumb shit. There are no observations, there is no explanations, there is simply "what if everything were actually 11-dimensional strings, man? *bong rip*"

As I said only math and logic can prove anything, because they are designed to be internally cocnsistant. Science is concerned with the empirical world. You can't prove anything about gravity because gravity might work differently tomorrow.

Trump was like the first person to get his dick enlarged via the vaccine. I bet he’s at 4 full inches after his fourth shot. Viagra be damned.

So did you look and now intentionally misrepresenting the information? Or are you lying about looking?

They are willing to have a conversation while you aren't. I have not heard any of them disagree that IVM has a lot of corroborating evidence that it may work and that it needs further investigation. I also pointed out how Chopstick seems to be wrong about Japan, but thanks for showing us you are still not reading.

You can prove a negative claim if it is specific enough.

A positive claim takes only a single example to prove the assertion; for example 'there are birds in this forest' is proven by identifying a single bird.

A negative claim typically is harder to prove, but a sufficiently specific claim can still be proven. 'There are no birds in this forest' would require a thorough search of the forest; 'there are no birds in this cage' would require a much simpler search of the cage.

The idea you can't prove a negative mostly arises from the question of a metaphysical deity. For similar reasons, we couldn't prove that birds don't exist.

The forest was chopped down to make agricultural land, now there is no forest.

After the forest survey a pair of owls flew in, there are now birds in the forest.
