Interesting site: A safe place for scientists

[Kind of Blue]

"As scientists, we have discovered a body of precisely observed factual data about the world, created a lot of good theories that make sense of much of that data — and we are part of a cultural heritage of scientism. Sociologists coined the term 'scientism' back in the 1940s, when they realized that many scientists unthinkingly accepted many scientific theories as simple, unquestioned Truths, just like believers in any 'ism,' and thus we often acted like any prejudiced 'believer,' especially outside our immediate areas of expertise.

The TASTE project is an attempt to work toward rectifying this strange, scientistic situation where too many people are forced to deny or repress parts of their own human experience. These Archives are an online journal performing the essential scientific function of full and honest communication of data in this badly neglected area." http://www.issc-taste.org/main/introduction.shtml
