   Is the statement “The Scientific method works” falsifiable?

   The scientific method as a zombie. Lol! By the way, though I like the bird (really, it’s hilarious and random), where’s the beard-man?

   I’m glad you like the bird. I thought he was a cool switch up. The bird is better drawn, but I kinda like the goate’ed dude. To be honest, I’m torn between the bird, goate’ed, and a little excited lizard (he hasn’t appeared yet).

   The Scientific Method is something that only exists in middle school textbooks and the minds of misguided philosophers. Real science is just applied epistemology, and the methods it employs are rather diverse. And I’m with Larry Laudan (and other Pragmatists) that figuring out what methods produce reliable knowledge is to a great extent an empirical enterprise. In effect, scientific methods are precisely those methods which have worked thus far. And we can discover new scientific/epistemic methods that work better than the old ones.
