Dispatches from the Emerging Technoprogressive Mainstream



This ad is running this week in South Carolina.

Pro-secularism. Pro-science. Pro-medical research. No weird robot cultism, no corporate futurological hype, no scientistic reductionism in sight. Just technoscientifically literate progressive secular consensual democracy. Jump on into the emerging technoprogressive mainstream, people, there's lots of good work to do and the water's fine.

What do you mean by scientific reductionism? Do you mean that there are some (non-morality) things science:

(1) can't, even in theory, explain, or
(2) have a very hard time explaining?

Or do you think science shouldn't explain those things?

Read my essays Is Science Democratic? and Technoethical Pluralism.

Also, the phrase Dale used was:

scientistic reductionism.

Not scientific reductionism.

There's a difference.
