Sciencific Hogwash

By Leo Gura - June 18, 2026

Even the most ardent scientist has to admit that there is such a thing as scientific hogwash. You cannot deny that within science exists science which is not science but pseudo-science. No, I’m not talking about New Age woo, I’m talking about what passes as actual science among scientists. But once you admit that, you’re cooked, because you have no way to know that your version of science is not that. Scientists are overlooking the simple point that what they regard as the truest science, is actually just hogwash with scientific flavor. No evidence or logic can save you from this trap. That’s because, fundamentally you never knew what science was. You always just assumed. You never thought this assumption would come back to bite you in the ass as badly as will. No scientist has EVER known what science was! NEVER! NOT ONE! That is the elephant in the room.

Here is the billion dollar question: How do you know that what you think is science is actually science? What if your entire understanding of what science is, is just wrong?! After all, why should it be right? Humans have NEVER known what science was! They just did trial and error to find whatever works. Newton spent more time doing alchemy that physics. How do you know alchemy isn’t science? That is not as obvious as any scientist thinks it is. If you think that’s obvious, you haven’t understood the depth of the epistemology here.

How does a human being know that alchemy isn’t science? Who told you?! Who do you believe and why do you believe them? Have you done alchemy? Then you don’t know! If you don’t know, why are you calling it unscientific? Calling a thing unscientific when you don’t really know, is scientific hogwash.
