Science haves all the tools needed to check itself. In that case, it's a check for consistency based in game theory, where a simple check on incentives immediately lead to doubt whatever affirmation have been made. Resistance to peer-review is a usual confirmation of said doubts.
The strongest point is that, paid or not, science assumes a study can be simply wrong, which is even more usual than paid-for biased studies. At no point science claim that if you see a study you must assume it true. It actually claims the exact opposite: don't trust, verify.
Is it really all that simple to check for incentives?
reply
Specially when money is involved, yes.

Science is used to manipulate the masses. Real truth must come from within.
reply
As long as it keeps manipulating cars, computers and airplanes into keeping working, be my guest.

A functioning machine has nothing to do with truth. You think a self driving car will ever be better than a skilled intuitive human operating a vehicle? Assuming Elon ever actually makes it happen.

You lost me there. Or did you meant something else?
reply
I don't know. I am always lost. Maybe I am not sure what you were saying to begin with.
reply
Again..I love the idea of pure science. Good luck showing me an example.
reply
Of what?
reply
Pure science. It's all a story. You read a paper. And trust someone else. You said yourself, look at the incentives. But you and I can't agree on what the incentives of Elon would be. It's not simple the way you described.

Pure science.
An example of pure science? You are using one right now at your fingertips.

Technology is cool. Doesn't mean it's pure. The people who made this phone would like me to stay glued to it as many hours as possible. Suck all my life force.
reply
Suck all my life force.
They really just want the money (as we all do), you can keep your life force, that's on you.

We don't all want money. You have said this twice now. Very interesting. Do you see why I say you are not honoring my reality? I have already had lots of money and the ability to make a lot more. I left that behind. For real freedom, which isn't about riches. It's about freeing the mind. Something that we can't do as long as we subscribe to any religion.

You are alive, because you have money. That's why you want money. If you don't want it, get rid of all of it.

I'm. Your reality is that you are alive, because you have money. That's why you want money. If you don't want it, get rid of all of it.
I left that behind.
You gon't rid of all of your money? You don't buy your food? You didn't bought the phone/computer you are using? You build it yourself? You knit and sew your own clothes? You chopped the wood and mined and casted the steel of the nails of your house? No.
It's about freeing the mind. Something that we can't do as long as we subscribe to any religion.
Then why do you ascribe to psychism?
