Why are these so many logical positivists and scientism supporters around these days? What happened? Are we re-running the 20th century but with a different random seed and the tech BS parameter set higher?

Funny, for whatever reason, my association with the word “scientism” is as a pejorative, eg as used by anti-vax ppl:http://www.europereloaded.com/challenging-vaccine-scientism/ …

Oh, yeah... I think I knew that as a low frequency (for me!) meaning in the depths of my mind but forgot it up until now.
