Science classes

And [other^1^] philosophy, especially epistemology.

... And it's quite telling and daunting that

But how do you teach those skills directly

was asked.

Like it was missing the question mark because it was rhetorical. Like it's beyond their conception, and as if in absence of evidence (or experience) it's presumed to be evidence of absence of possibility or means to do so.

Looking forward to this year, and more people realising more of how much has been stolen from us.

Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

If you are here asking: "Is this a science meme?"

Probably, yes. We use the Dawkins definition of meme: a replicating idea, not just an image macro with a fact on it. A good post here doesn't need to teach you something. It needs to make you ask something: who, what, where, when, and especially why or how.

Science isn't a filing cabinet of facts, it's a conversation. For example, a photo of an eel or other localized wildlife counts because most people never see one, and wonder is the first step of inquiry. A car meme counts if it makes you curious about what's under the bonnet. If you want to talk about something you noticed in the world, chances are someone else wants to talk about it too.

We encourage sillyness, especially where a post creates interesting discussion. Experimenting is encouraged, but keep it in good faith and never punch down.
