Questioning is good, you just have to weigh up whether the theory or the evidence (or both) is faulty - evidence is theory laden

My first comment is ‘sometimes it’s ok to question the evidence’ I haven’t been a part of any conspiracy theory defence? Look up yourself??

No we weren’t. And where did I defend them? I was just saying an uncomfortable truth - logically, science cannot give us true ‘facts’

No, I’m saying that it’s reasonable not to attach yourself to any theory too closely, and see theories as predicting tools - not ‘truths’

It’s called the pessimistic meta induction - it’s a well known part of the philosophy of science

Not quite, I’m arguing that you can never know whether science is getting closer to absolute truth/‘facts’ - science is a confidence thing

Sure, but accepting things as 'facts' /'evidence' that can't be overturned later with a different theory/better evidence is also delusional

In communications theory this is called the ‘deficit’ theory and is actually quite outdated.

/how the Air Force had given orders to drop many more bombs, and had a third waiting on island of tinian, its coincidence that there were 2

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Yes, but moreso how exactly the military constructed and publicised the 'two bombs won the war' myth, especially through emperor Hirohito

Read 5 days in august by Michael Gordin. Brilliant piece of scholarship, puts idea that 2 bombs were dropped to end the war - to bed.

I can't believe I read all of that

True, although violence was sporadic, but again, in response to centuries of persecution from the church in its alliance with landowners

Difference is, on the nationalist side, violence against leftists, teachers, workers etc, organised/state sanctioned - e.g badajoz massacre

In the first months of the war, in some cities the republicans found it hard to control popular violence against the church, but did try...

Sad as I sounds, to most of spain, the church represented centuries of oppression, and were allied with fascist Franco during the war.
