(18,219 posts)Your statement was that "the only legitimate science is sociology", and I find that to be an astonishing statement. There is no way to rank the sciences until you get into pseudo-science. Without any one of the sciences, we would be living in a much poorer society, as well as more ignorant. Life would be very hard. Sociology is an intriguing study, but to discard every other science is foolish.
You talk about pharmaceuticals, and how we are being sold a false bill of goods. Well, it is true that some people get obsessed with them, and think that they need drugs for everything. But you would have a good chance of not being here without them. Go ahead and live without any drugs....and that will include the early pharmaceuticals used by people from the beginning of time, because that arose from science even if they didn't call it "science".
Live without everything that we have because of all the sciences if you like. Stop driving cars, or even using a bicycle. You can't use electricity either, not even solar energy unless it is drying your clothes or making sun tea. Oh, never mind, you would not have clothes.
My point is that your statement made no sense.
