I happen to like sociology. But consider the categorization of
humans into slots.
it's not that some sciences don't USE numbers; numbers are
useful. But not all of them use statistics or mathematical
formulas. That's been a recent trend since the 70s as math
became considered "more scientific" and was somewhat
artificially inserted into disciplines that didn't require much
numbers before.
Biology is one. Chemistry as well; Chemistry has its own system
which appears to be similar to mathematics but it's quite
different. Mathematics has a supporting role as do words but
they have their own ways.
I'm not arguing against the basic premises of
Science-as-a-whole. But within Science-as-a-whole, there are
some problems that are important to consider. One of which is
the social stratafication within the Science communities towards
each other and their relationships to the media and education.
They're not separate from this world. They're a part of it.
