I think the author lost me when the term “scientism” was used. That’s an utterly meaningless term that the religious right and postmodernists like to throw around. By definition the scientific approach is the best for solving any problem because if there was evidence that a better approach existed, that would be the new scientific approach. The trick is that you have to understand that science is more than what goes on in a lab For example, historians are scientists in a broader sense because they know they need historical data for their conclusions rather than relying on their own subjective opinions.
The “Redpill Right” are wrong not because of their endorsement of the need for evidence but rather that the “evidence” that they provide is isn’t supported in most cases.
