			Tell me this
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:11
			Aren't you make popular YouTube videos you've got millions of hits and you don't know the basics
about instrumentalism realism, constructive empiricism, selection ism constraints
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:17
			are interested in philosophy. So if you're not interested in philosophy, why are you talking about
metaphysics?
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:20
			Why are you dismissing?
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:31
			scientific and by the way, listen, here's the thing. If you understood the philosophy of science,
you would be making statements you're making now. That's what I'm saying. And all I'm saying
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			is that you are wrong. Still.
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:38
			Why am I wrong?
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:41
			metaphysics because you're trying to
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49
			prove at this point, okay.
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:54
			correspondence theory of truth.
		
00:00:59 --> 00:00:59
			Truth is,
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:06
			your statement is wrong. And using that connection ism is wrong, you then have to bring in
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:10
			exactly exactly
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:12
			the same.
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:52
			You believe in science? It sounds like you believe in scientific realism. Why? Because I would have
thought that I believed in empiricism. No, no. Okay. Like, this is a really silly number. Right?
empiricism scientific realism. Two different categories. No, no, no, no, it's two different
categories. Right? They're both empiricism. Okay, for you to think scientific realism saying
different scientific. Racism is two different things. They're descriptions again, okay, scientific
realism, scientific instrumentalism. What are they? Okay, scientific realism is we believe in claims
about observables that scientists make and we believe in claims which are made about unknowable
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:59
			unobservable entities, structures and processes. Give me an example. Okay. So for example, who would
be a good?
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:33
			Give me the other one? Oh, no, hang on one second, because I don't think that no, no, no, no. Okay.
Okay. So when it comes to general relativity, General Relativity says time and space is flexible.
And it also makes other sort of claims and you have claims, for example, in quantum mechanics about
the Copernican interpretation that this interpretation in many worlds one, okay, so a scientific
realist would say, when scientists are talking about the unobservables entities, structures and
processes, they are talking about actual things. Right. So that's realism. The second view is
scientific.
		
00:02:34 --> 00:03:10
			There are people who think that Republic God is not real. No, no, no, I'm talking about scientific
realism and scientific instrumentalism. Okay, now, tell me whether you agree with scientific
instrumentalism. Scientific instrumentalism says this, we believe in claims that scientists make
about observable entities. But believe it in either case, I'm just giving you philosophical
definitions. Okay. Yeah. Okay. I know you claimed you know, so claims about unobservable entities,
processes and structures, we are going to be agnostic about them, we're not going to say they are
true. We're not going to say they are false. We're just gonna remain agnostic about the right now,
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:23
			I've given you two divergent views. And there's some views in the middle right now, which ones use
instrumentalism. Now, if you believe instrumentalism what you believe in, okay, okay. Do you
subscribe to it?
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:26
			Okay.
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:39
			Then that basically means when scientists are speaking about natural selection being a creative
force for the generation object again, okay, fine. Forget even look, forget
		
00:03:43 --> 00:04:06
			that I asked you I'm not I'm not seeing the topic. Just give me a second, when scientists are
talking about unobservable entities, processes and structures, right? They are not saying something
which is true. They are saying something which they are in might be true or might be false
diagnostic body. So if you're a scientific instrumentalist, that means Darwinian evolution which
you've proposed, which you support. And what do you think Darwinian? Wait, hang on.
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10
			Hang on, hang on, hang on.
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:19
			That basically means you don't believe it to be true. If you're an instrumentalist, so basically
means this whole this whole time,
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			Aaron, Aaron Aaron's
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:42
			made a little hole you walked into it? No, you just admitted your scientific instrumentalist. If you
want to say that. You didn't say that. That means you believe science doesn't give you truth, but
gives you instrumental useful theories. Oh, no, but it can show what is true.
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:49
			Don't deny that. Okay, that means that you That means that your claims about science gives you truth
is false.
