Um, so, I mean, obviously,
the foundational difference is that if you're starting
first from a conclusion and moving backwards, always
attempting to find evidence to support your position, like religious mythopoeic
speculation models, um, comparative to
scientific empiricism where you start with
evidence, you observe, find evidence, and then

is not in the conclusion, not in what your ultimate
belief ends up being

Um, so, I mean, obviously,
the foundational difference
00:00:04.879 --> 00:00:07.465
is that if you're starting
first from a conclusion
00:00:07.465 --> 00:00:09.717
and moving backwards, always
attempting to find evidence
00:00:09.717 --> 00:00:11.026
to support your position,
00:00:11.026 --> 00:00:13.971
like religious mythopoeic
speculation models,
00:00:13.971 --> 00:00:17.725
um, comparative to
scientific empiricism
00:00:17.725 --> 00:00:20.998
where you start with
evidence, you observe,
00:00:20.998 --> 00:00:22.001
find evidence, and then
infer from that evidence
00:00:22.001 --> 00:00:25.065
what seems to be the best
explanation offered thus far,
00:00:25.065 --> 00:00:27.402
which is always
an approximation,
00:00:27.402 --> 00:00:29.987

is not in the conclusion,
