Title: Zetetic topics
Post by: Curiouser and Curiouser on May 21, 2018, 01:58:56 PM
Are there any other fields in which the Zetetic method is employed to reach conclusions?

I still don't understand what the "Zetetic Method" even is. Yeah yeah, I read the quote. The problem is, it just doesn't say anything useful. I can't find anything in it that differs openly with the scientific method. It makes claims about how the scientific method starts from a theory and that can introduce bias, but that just seems to be a misunderstanding of the scientific method. Can anyone explain?

To understand better, it may help to work backwards from the end game.

The scientific method can not, at the end of its process, arrive at the truth.

The Zetetic method can, because of the nature of its process, arrive at the truth.     

When both are applied to determination of Earth shape, truth supports claims made by FET.

Truth is for philosophers, not for scientists or engineers.

Quite rare to see a round Earth believer side with Zetetics in the who-has-the-proof game. 

It gives us all hope that Earth shape sanity will be restored.

Ah, the elusive "process".  Perhaps you could take us through it?
