Conspiracy Empiricists

One who propagates an idea or ideas that many important political events or economic and social trends are the products of deceptive plots that are largely unknown to the general public; via practical experience and experiments as a basis for such idea they are propagating.

Conspiracy empiricists often think just because a dominant theory is mostly sufficient for explaining most of a phenomena doesn't mean one shouldn't attempt to teak the theory via experiments to find more information.

Studies of Empiricism

A critical field that examines the history, philosophy, and practice of empiricism—the claim that knowledge comes primarily from sensory experience. Studies of empiricism show that “experience” itself is theory‑laden, that observation is never pure, and that empiricism as an ideology has been used to dismiss non‑Western knowledge systems. They trace how empiricism became the dominant epistemology of the modern West and explore its limits.

Example: “Studies of empiricism revealed that what counted as ‘empirical evidence’ in 19th‑century anthropology was often racist caricature dressed in measurement—the method was used to naturalize hierarchy.”
