I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, so it was interesting to stumble across this.
Science seems to have built itself a huge reductionism bias, which honestly has served it very well at solving many many problems, it’s a fantastic and useful tool.
The problem is that (1) this has left huge gaps and (2) the sciences in general are blind to their own reductionist biasses (3) for many people reductionist science is seen as the only viable tool.
When you combine these compounding effects, this leaves a huge opportunity for independent researchers like us to address the gaping holes that are inevitably left all over the sciences.
