>>>> Yet, we as humans do manage to make sense of the world. We run schools, companies. We learn more about how to do those things. Formal studies are an important part of learning about how to do those things. Scientific mindset and methodologies are useful to this. It's a lot better than just philosophizing the whole thing. The type of knowledge we gain, OTOH, isn't like F=MA. It never will be.
I think it has to to be held out as a possibility that there is actually no science behind how we run schools and companies. One way this could happen is if non-scientific ideas simply overwhelm the ones that are grounded in good science.
The fact that it isn't like F=MA also means it will never advance beyond producing collections of amusing factoids that are unrelated to one another and potentially false.
