Saying that private (or public) equity doesn't cause changes to consumer behavior is like saying that lakes & oceans have nothing to do w/rain. "It's the clouds, dummy."

One reason that #reductionism survives so well in science is that it dominates society in general. It's a key to #disinformation.

Too Narrow to Be Wise: The Tunnel Vision Trap of Modern Expertise We live in a Kafkaesque paradox: the very people we turn to for wisdom about life’s biggest questions—meaning, society, the future of humanity—are systematically selected for their inability to think ...

Society has lost its direction. We are now driving blind, and the reason is reductionism. We’ve become so obsessed with breaking the world into tiny parts that we’ve forgotten how the whole thing actually hangs together.

If I had to guess, I'd say that 95% of comment sections (if not posts) on social media are a combination of reductionism and *outrageous* amounts of confirmation bias.

what does it mean to provide a "scientific explanaion"?

should "strict reductionism" be considered a "highest standard", or just one of many alternative options?

Political parties are the Poster Children of #reductionism taken too far.

Yes, it's true that not everyone will be interested or knowledgeable enough, or simply not have the time to participate in governance, but this does not excuse grandiose, untestable claims & magical overtones
as a baseline.

Black-and-white logic can sometimes work even for complex systems. But it ignores the ways in which parts interact with one another. Reductionism may serve to explain how a bird flies, but not how a flock of birds move in unison. It may describe internal combustion, but not traffic patterns. It may describe electric patterns in the brain, but not consciousness, and it’s unlikely that anyone or anything—not even the world’s most powerful computers—will ever fully analyze the interactions that make for healthy soil.

8/10 The uncritical application of this mathematical logic to social phenomena often results in a reductionist perspective, homogenizing diverse realities and fostering an illusion of predictability by sidelining non-quantifiable human dimensions. #SocialScience #Reductionism

The universe is unfolding and evolving towards greater complexity (as suggested by Julian Barbour in *The Janus Point: A New Theory of Time*). What if 'free will' is just a new feature, not a bug, of this universe? 😉

If knowledge becomes a form of trauma, something we bury deep within ourselves, it can fester and warp our perception. We try to hide it, deny its existence, but like a persistent shadow, it eventually catches up with us. #InterprativeWheel #FrithjofBergmann #holism #reductionism #PoveryDesire

A theory of everything will never work at all scales

Is a final theory of everything still the goal—or has science moved on? In this piece for IAI, I reflect on what effective field theories teach us about explanation, emergence, and realism.
