Title: Zetetic method VS scientific method. A forum game.
Post by: mbecks on January 15, 2016, 08:14:02 PM
The game is simple, choose which you believe to be better then from your decision write a 5 word or less way that this method has improved life for you and others.

rule 1)Please 5 words or less, I know it will be irresistible for some of you to follow this.
rule 2)Don't dispute someone else's claims, it will jumble the thread and make it a waste.
I realise these rules probably wont hold up because of a lack of maturity but a man can dream.

Please start a thread with your own rules. Obviously your free to do what you want and I cant stop you but it's just for fun. You wouldn't go play basket ball then run with the ball under your arm and say "I like foot ball". If you can't complete the challenge of five words its ok just refrain from saying anything.

Double blind studies generally start with the hypothesis that the medicine being studied works better than a placebo.

Double blind studies generally start with the hypothesis that the medicine being studied works better than a placebo.

They are then analyzed without any preconceived expectations about that hypothesis being allowed to influence the results.  Double-blind studies effectively take the inherent bias out of the scientific method, and it's that bias that zetetics criticize about the scientific method more than anything else.  For sure, they are an example of applied zeteticism at its finest.

Scientific Method:

Zetecic Method:

Ignores the court ruling it was not considered an enforceable contract because it was a wager and the court transcripts were witnesses stated the curvature was adequately proven by Wallace. Focuses  on just that the court ruled in Hampdens's favor and not why he won since it is evidence against FE.

Scientific Method:

Wallace used a method verified by others many times before and after he won the bet.
