Indeed it is the standard of western modern science to doubt a claim without empirical testing. However people are conditioned to ignore the fact that experience is empirical evidence... the issue centers on method and frequency, sometimes insisting on repeatability and independent or blind confirmation. The problem is that the strictest criteria eliminate all but mechanical behavior. Novel occurrences, which characterize mental experiences, are characteristically unique. Does that mean they didnt happen? No. It means they are not entailed with the general ambiance but rather with a subSet...they are system dependent. Such phenomena are what we want to study. So much more careful and conditional testing is required to recreate conditions, which may include the belief conditions of participants.
For example, if you test for the effect on health of going to a Catholic Mass, it could be that devout Christians will show a positive effect and others will not. So the result is conditional, not general, and dependent on prior belief. But it may be real and empirically confirmed. Life is all about establishing contextual dependencies.

Academic power is like political power.
For 50 years all early Indian astronomy -- incl. most of #Aryabhata's -- was taken to be copied from #Babylonians, even in absence of Baby. evidence.
It needed a long refutation showing priority of Vedic texts.
There is a difference between anti-intellectualism of the marxist variety - tedious argumentation, modeling, theorizing.
Vs intellectualism of the "Core" variety. I am against the former, but latter is essential. https://t.co/Xin7yQvdEQ

The fringe in each ideology takes pride in being purer than the centrists (who keep the ideology going mostly ). However lately , there is a spate of articles in various right leaning platforms where the activists belonging to fringe have attempted to appropriate the word core .
This is deeply worrisome as world over where the fringe has pushed centrists to appropriate the centre piece the movements have often become unstable and collapsed onto themselves.
The assumption that it's the purity and not steadfastness of purpose that forms core is deeply flawed too.
An observation of things around us will convince you that the fundamental function of core of anything is to stabilize and not to constantly cause unrest with demands for higher and higher purity. Political parties understand this too.
And that's the reason the traders in surat who sent 15/16 MLAs from BJP in a year of demo/gst have a bigger claim to core than the keyboard warriors questioning the party over various issues and issuing threats (NOTA etc ). These people understand the importance of holding on to a higher purpose and not get distracted by tactical issues over long term.

Fools want us to blindly accept anything with 'science' tag
Story of John Yudkin - how established-science may misguide us
Destroy, denigrate, appropriate. It's the story of the West in relation to native cultures. But colonized minds are so accustomed to the Western stamp for legitimacy, for "science", that they aid this process of targeting native traditions.
As #NNTaleb has also pointed out, to follow tradition is itself scientific from a statistical viewpoint. Tradition does not need scientific validation to follow it no more than cats need to look at a study on how to birth kittens.
I feel anxious about our ability to fight back without a few dozen Vivekananda and Aurobindo like people (not the same).
History, sociology and everything else needs people who can do what Christian seminaries do. Develop sophisticated apologia, understand and refashion.
They are closing in on the gap. We need to use our heritage of inner sciences to do some serious research in neuro-sciences. Unfortunately all I am seeing around are 'third-eye' cheap parlour trick charlatans. https://t.co/jcTh8qABlk
Yes. There has been real good work. Sri Ramakrishna Institute of Culture and Sri Aurobindo groups have done some pioneering works. But we need much more and much faster.
Is there any access to the info on the work that is being done in these places? It will be good to see our scientists collaborate with our practitioners of inner yogic sciences. S-VYASA in Bangalore is another place where they are attempting such work.
Trying to view a complex epic like Mahabharata in black and white should also stop, there are too many conflicting layers to all the characters, everyone can pick their favourites based on certain qualities they like in them
Greatness of Hindu civilization is not built on blindly accepting scripture but critically analysing it
Again, I thought so too at one time, but Vyasa has described each character thoroughly. We don't need to interpret. It was practically biographical, and Vyasa is impartial to all, so he isn't biased.
So if he says X is bad, then X is bad and end of discussion.
Exactly. महर्षि वेदव्यास, it's his depiction of history and his views bear max wtg. Also, the concept of नैतिकता has deteriorated since then and it would only be shortsighted to apply our pea sized brains compared to him and try to interpret
But Hinduism doesn't give any weed smoking Tom, dick or Harry to become authority on religious matter. If you want to, first learn all the scriptures, live by their rules & then tell me what to do & not to do. Otherwise My Dharma isn't a guinea pig in your lab of liberalism!
Freedom of Speech/Expression has to be based on the Responsibility of Conduct. That vital aspect is conveniently ignored by the ‘have a mouth, will speak’ SJWs. Why? Because they are alien to that oft-mocked concept of ‘Sanskar’.
2) Muslims who are in the mainstream are the ones who are fighting against orthodoxy, fundamentalism and extremism. By picking us out as targets and labeling us terrorists, etc., BJP weakens the fight against extremism. That makes sense because BJP itself is extremist.
3) I'm labeled an Islamist extremist terrorist. So is @RanaAyyub and other moderate Muslims. We are subjected to the worst of abuses, fake news, targeting to the point where we are totally demonized. Whose purpose does this serve? We are the Muslim women BJP claims to fight for.
