Re:Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts by mlthoughts2018 on Tuesday July 14, 2020 @10:18PM (#23840483)
I don’t agree. I’m saying there exists a difference of kind between the act of belief in inferential integrity of experts despite fundamental epistemic limitations of philosophy, and the separate act of continuing to believe something contrary to the evidence.

The ubiquitous notion of religious faith is similar to the second thing, and is not similar to the first thing. It’s not a matter of consensus or definition.
