Scientism is so pervasive and so ridiculous. For example there’s people who say magic isn’t real because science can explain it. No shit science can explain it, that’s the point of science. It’s people defining science in opposition to magic based on cultural values instead of actually knowing what science is. https://medium.com/@viridiangrail/tautological-denial-of-magic-0e311ca94c2a
I’m a degree-holding job-working scientist and I love science. I also love magic. Magic can be proven. Scientists have published hundreds of papers on the powerful placebo effect, also known as magic. Don’t tell me you’re going to deny the existence of the placebo effect?

Lol, I love when the woo community can’t argue in good faith, so have to artificially drag science to their level by calling it “scientism”.
Magic isn’t real because you can’t prove it’s real, and science isn’t opposed to magic, because magic isn’t on the playing board.
