The key takeaway is that what you are currently evaluating as a neutral, logical, science-based way of looking at the world is actually based on very specific philosophical and epistemological ideas that are ironically not themselves based on any kind of scientific approach per se. There's only a small portion of our lives that is actually lived on the basis of the scientific method and rigorous experiments, and this is not due to lacking as-of-yet-undiscovered material, so rejecting anything that does not employ the method as a source of knowledge or claiming that it's all relative is already a very curious position.

The STEM-bro/SWE/HN/LessWrong/Sam Harris mindset is hyperspecific in its cultural conclusions and it doesn't come to those through experiments but by making prescriptive claims just like any philosopher. This isn't just an academic problem, but something that has real practical consequences when it comes to living in a society dominated by FAANGs and other such structures.
