scientism
Scientism is a kind of faith that treats the scientific method as a panacea, coercing every question into answers of experiments and numbers. People sanctify measurability, gaining comfort by denying whatever cannot be observed. They overlook the values and meanings lurking behind equations and data, worshiping an idol called truth. While critical thinking is seemingly invited, falsification itself becomes the greatest taboo. Results become the purpose, banishing the richness of inquiry itself beyond the border of this ironic doctrine.
