The Importance of Extraction in Science
Sport science is rooted in an extractive ontologic, he says. It's almost like I can't talk to the athletes as a scientist and interact with the phenomena that I want to know - it dehumanises them. The approach of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe comes back to if you want to get to know things, you spend time with them. If you're reading our work, you're genuinely reading me on my way to becoming something else because it's all parts of my life woven through these papers. There's an extractive hierarchical divide in more hypothetical deductive approaches that scientists do better at not worrying about throwing themselves into such projects.
