Hard Problem of Scientism

The paradox of claiming science as the only valid way to know anything: such a claim is not a scientific claim, but a philosophical one. Scientism cannot be validated by the scientific method; it's an article of faith. The hard problem is that it uses the authority of science to make an unscientific, totalizing statement about knowledge, thereby violating its own rule and collapsing into dogma.
Example: "He said, 'If it's not in a peer-reviewed journal, it's not real knowledge.' When asked if that statement itself was in a peer-reviewed journal, he scoffed. That's the hard problem of scientism: the claim that silences all other voices can't survive its own microphone check."

Person 1: Who's that concerned-looking scientist in Oppenheimer?

Person 2: Brett Del Buono as Manhattan Project Scientist! From vampires to atoms, he's got range.
