This is anti-science coming from a publication that's supposed to be about science. Have they learned nothing about this subject from the James Damore incident?
Ironically, they put this in an issue with a cover story about extremists. Zero self-awareness.
I'm boycotting their site from now on. Used to be one of my go-to sites. Not anymore.
Hmm... "The belief that the investigative methods of the physical sciences are applicable or justifiable in all fields of inquiry"
Not sure if that applies here. I think you meant that as a critique of the "social sciences". The problem with the "social sciences" isn't that they try to apply the Scientific Method to society - it's that they often do not use the Scientific Method, yet still claim to be science.
