ADDENDUM TO "THE PROBLEM WITH SCIENCE"
I suppose one of things I've realized, having reread what I wrote about that, is that science is merely one way of looking at the world, and it most certainly isn't the only way. Another way of looking at and understanding the world is experiential, and the purpose of that article isn't to claim that science is "wrong" or "useless", but more that it's insufficient because it has bootstrap problems that it's unable to deal with. These problems are built into the foundation of what science is. Looking at something scientifically is a useful way of looking at something, but it isn't the only or singular way of doing so. I just wanted to make clear that I'm not advocating eliminating science as a method of understanding; I'm merely making clear that the models and methods that science comes up with need to be looked at with the idea that we are merely seeing through structures, and science cannot provide an entire picture of anything, especially in psychology, where models for the how the mind or brain works doesn't really say anything about what is actually happening, but are merely a framework to help understand what is happening.
