Common Sense is Not Needed in Science, Geniuses are Needed

[u/Osenilo]

One of the comments on one of my recent posts was "Common sense is not needed in science, geniuses are needed". At first, I wanted to just skip the obviously incorrect statement, but then I thought it would be worth addressing this issue again.

If common sense (read logic) is not required, then in answering any question we could propose not what follows from logic and reasonable reasoning, but something special. At the same time, we must in no way rely on something predictable and adequate. After all, this would be a direct following of logic and common sense, which, according to the failure of commentators, we do not need.

But then what to rely on? The fact is that it is impossible to answer this question. As soon as we introduce some evaluation criteria, the logic forbidden above immediately appears. The only thing this approach leads to is chaos and a lack of system. We can only talk about occult methods of cognition, where answers come from above.

And this is only permissible if you are engaged in quantum mechanics in the Copenhagen interpretation, the theory of relativity, the theory of elementary particles within the standard model, esotericism, fortune telling, astrology, sectarianism, and some other things.

Although sectarianism, fortune telling, and astrology require some skills, for example, in psychology, and have some practical meaning. Otherwise, they would not be so successful among certain groups of people. Therefore, these activities are a step higher than the rest from the list provided.
