"There is no such thing as western science, just science."
"At The Conversation [they say] 'We surveyed 316 researchers from research organisations across New Zealand ... A majority agreed mātauranga Māori should be valued on par with Western science.' Any academic who refers to science as 'western science' can almost certainly be dismissed as not serious. There is no such thing as western science, just science. We don’t have western gravity. ... It is about a method. "So an easy rule of thumb is to dismiss anyone who talks about Western science. They have no understanding of either science or history."
We welcome thoughtful disagreement. But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me. PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
