Scientific method

Scientific method: A method which requires independently observable and reproducible verification of factual findings and laws, but required by this method to erase first-person inner experience a-priori.This built-in erasure of inner life is a limit unrecognized by Scientism.

Traditional name used to describe procedures for obtaining empirical knowledge by means of careful observation of the world versus a-priori speculation.
