      & by 'empirically managed' i assume that you are referring to policy. i prefer the term empirically culled for that. empirics is one element

      But you don't think we should draw conclusions from evidence so your input here is probably not going to be very helpful.

      which alot of scientists dont recognize. there is a lot that goes into policy besides technical expertise

      Of course scientists don't recognise that conclusions shouldn't be based on evidence! It's a ludicrous claim.

      Sam Harris is explicit about this with his attempt to resurrect a science of morality

      No. He isn't. That is what the landscape symbolism is about. The many different ways of seeking the goal of improving human wellbeing.

      anyhow i think i made my earlier point. scientists who engage in public policy don't, at a very basic level think Hume's guillotine exists

      I'm going to mute you now because you never actually say anything. Just waffle on vaguely without any noticeable point.

      actually i was pretty clear about it Helen but you seem to act as if these problems are somehow new and havent been broguht up by others

      At least then I'd know what you're getting at. No need for all this vague meandering about never actually saying anything.

          Harris was mentioned in passing but there are others like him. You seem to be in denial that such problems exist

          I've said nothing at all about this & I still don't know what you're talking about in relationship to it.

          I can honestly say I have little knowledge and no opinion on the matter of scientists getting involved in public policy.

          You're obviously not to explain straightforwardly what your point is and how it relates to anything I've said & this is a pattern with you.

          There are too many interesting people here who make clear, well-argued & relevant points to be wasting time with vague & pompous waffle.

          and the boundaries of technical expertise in public policy. Much has been written and discussed on those issues
