the scientific end of the world as we've never known it

the problem is that scientific method and habits became labeled as an inherent "good"--the more the better--and became the assumed approach of all aspects and components of society, including values, mental/cognitive experience (i.e. every news article about social phenomenon littered with statistical somehow psychological studies), all decision-making (i.e. self-help industry), the man-woman dichotomy applied to completely everything (again, the news articles and of-course included studies), the meaning of life, the meaning of money and industry, national health, humanity's health, relevance of efforts, relevance of experience, relevance of a life, and one could go on and on if one thought of it. and that is the point.

scientific method has worked accurately for those working within science; but for all the rest, the language is all confused, and therefore the approach, the processes of experience, and the assessment are likewise askew--but no one knows that we have inherited a fallacy, and are using the wrong dimension. most often, that is.

A different article with the centerpiece, a study, that actually goes for accuracy instead of conventional acceptance. Despite, note the acknowledged undercurrent throughout that there is the pressure to "prove" "something" through scientific method, and acknowledged are the audience and the structure that seek the science-lens panacea.
