No Scientist Knew What Science Is

By Leo Gura - November 13, 2026

Notice that everyone who enters science, without exception, has no idea what science is when they enter it. Every professional scientist who signed up for a career in science had no idea what he was getting himself into. No scientist validated science before committing his life to it. No scientist understood the epistemology of science before he committed himself to it. So yes, literally every scientist took the validity of science on blind faith, pure conformity and ignorance. You can see how epistemically dangerous that is. Every professional scientist gambled that science was valid. The conflict of interest here is epic. Every professional scientist has a conflict of interest in science turning out true. Which is why scientists are so closedminded to extra-scientific considerations. Scientists cannot be open to anything that undermines the validity of science as a whole. And they don’t understand the real reason why they are not open to it.

The astonishing thing is that people become scientists unconsciously, without knowing what it is. But they are all absolutely certain it must be the right way. But none of them actually know that. That’s what every scientist lives in denial about. Just like Christians, every scientist lives hoping deep down that science must be true, because if it isn’t, he would not even know how to live. So you can see why no scientist seriously questions science.

It amazes me that people enter science without ever wondering how we know it is true. How irresponsible.
