The Tim Ferriss Show

NOTE

Macro and social science bullshit

The concept of big science, akin to macroeconomics, allows for cherry-picking data to support various viewpoints, leading to a lack of consensus. The distinction between big science and little science is compared to macro and microeconomics, with big science resembling cherry-picking in economics. The speaker criticizes the corruption of science due to social sciences being labeled as sciences, emphasizing that real science should focus on experimentation, verifiability, falsifiability, and rigorous testing. The speaker asserts that true science is limited to specific fields like physics, molecular biology, chemistry, mathematics, and theory of computation.
