       This is a great analysis of the Flat Earth problem and what it can teach us about the nature of science, scientific progress and knowledge, as well as how science communication could improve:https://invidious.snopyta.org/watch?v=f8DQSM-b2cchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8DQSM-b2cc /via https://friendica.hubup.pro/display/174591b4-1660-5c6f-614a-79e131261391 @andy

       @clackeIn some sense earth is actually flat. It has (not regarding mountains and valleys) one borderless surface and mass acceleration point in the same angle everywhere. You can't deny, that is a kind of flat. Time-space continuity is some kind if weird. So you shouldn't wonder, why it leaves some people puzzled in a cognitive maze.@andy

       @wauz @andy In a very philosophical non-Euclidian sense.It's a bit like saying $RELIGIOUS_GROUP doesn't literally believe in the supernatural, it's more like a metaphor, and then a $RELIGIOUS_GROUP person corrects them and says, no, we literally believe this stuff here on page seven.

       I especially like it because the conclusion comes close to my own interest in not only reproducibility but bootstrappability of software.We all know science is supposed to be all about reproducibility. The extent to which this is accomplished varies a lot depending on the field of science and how high up the abstraction layer the research is, but there is a growing movement of reproducible science, and in many modern fields that even directly intersects with reproducibility of software.But who is working on the bootstrappability of science, science education and science communication? Now there's a nut to crack.#reproducible #bootstrappable#BootstrappableScience   #BootstrappableEngineering

       Wow that's novel.  You're really taking to a new level: Bootstrappable Engineering! 👍

       I haven't heard the term before, but I would be surprised if nobody had coined it before. There are people out there who have been working on or close to this problem for years, like Chris Waterguy and his Appropedia.I'm sure both the guy and the site had accounts on fedi back in the identi.ca days, but it seems they're nowhere on fedi these days.https://www.appropedia.org/User:Chriswaterguy

       @clacke I’m sure both the guy and the site had accounts on fedi back in the identi.ca days, but it seems they’re nowhere on fedi these days. The person definitely did have an account on Identica. I remember the name. I cannot say either way about the organization.
