You are not arguing with science, you are arguing here with the
institutions erected. I make the same criticism you do above against
philosophy.

However, even accepting both our narrow scope, we are really diatribing
against particular schools. More power to us, eh?
But-
I still twirl up around the edges at what you think 'science' is. It is
not the hide-bound, reactive monstrosity you seem to think it is.
(Anymore than the whole rubric 'newage' is not the hide-bound
retrogressive monstrosity I think it is....)
