Comment Re:The problem is the "social sciences". (Score 1) 493
While somewhat simplistic, I think the GP post did have some merit. And you confirm it, albeit very indirectly when you mention the ease with which social sciences are malleable to whichever political agenda requires their services. This is all caused by the fact that social sciences don't produce falsifiable results: there are no hypotheses, let alone theories, in social sciences, that are falsifiable.
That is their greatest weakness, the very reason why they shouldn't be called "science". There is no bias in this statement, even IF those who dedicated their lives to social sciences feel offended by it.
