Scientific Model-Dependency

The insight that what we observe in science depends critically on the models we use to observe. Our instruments are built on models. Our data analysis assumes models. Our theories are models. We never access reality raw—we access reality filtered through models, and different models reveal different aspects. This isn't idealism (reality exists) but dependency: what we can say about reality is always mediated by the models we've built. Scientific progress is partly about building better models, but also about understanding what each model hides along with what it reveals.

"You think climate models are just predictions? Scientific Model-Dependency says: they're also what makes climate visible at all. Without models, you have weather, not climate. The model isn't just representing reality—it's creating the conditions for you to see it. Respect the dependency."

dependent verification audit 

A hypocritical corporate phishing /data mining scheme, that demands an employee surrender personally identifiable information to third parties, while at the same time demanding security for the companies own proprietary data. It is sold as product to corporations by data mining companies as a way save money, at the expensive of causing disgruntled employees through potential identity fraud.

Damn, I just got nasty-gram from a dependent verification audit firm demanding my families information. Fucking hypocrites, I would feel safer shopping at Target.

Dependent 

YES! OK! Now we're getting somewhere!

Hym "Yes! So the validity of a set of propositions is dependent on the underlying ideas... So, at the core of the of the Abrahamic religions... The underlying idea... That determines the validity of the subsequent ideas... Is the claim that the creature of the universe spoke to the Jews. And that didn't happen. Which is what the question "Do you believe in God?" Is pertinent. So, God didn't say anything to Moses. What you have here is a psychopathic narcissist gloming on to a preexisting religion (following in the footsteps of the original psychopathic narcissist) and trying to morph the religion to his own ends so he can maintain the moral authority that the religion allows him to claim. That's what Jordan Peterson is doing. The validity of everything he says, hinges on a truth claim he does not believe. The thing you said (Jordan), IS NOT GOD. That you. You are not God. You don't even believe that there is one. You are a charlatan. It's not that deep."
