            To paraphrase Stephen Colbert, reality has a well-known socialist bias. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_socialism

    That because the human species has done so much, it must be good.

    And the usual bit about your productive output being the measure of your value.

      Not a popular belief here on Lemmy. Can you try something that hits a little closer to home?

          If you want to feel out the edges of the consensus here, see what gets removed.

          Ok, on second thought that may be difficult.

    That the scientific method is fine as it is.

    On top of that, quantum mechanics, Einstein’s theories of relativity, Maxwell’s equations, Newton’s law of gravity, although Einstein “disproved” this, they both make the same mistake, and more.

    And before people false dichitomize me into the religious camp, the best and easiest example I will always give of what’s wrong with these theories is to take the holy trinity, argue what fallacy is taking place when one introduces a three-but-really-one monotheist deity as truth and then expand on that fallacy to take down the photon’s two-but-really-one wave-particle duality.
