Science (from Latin *scientia*, knowledge or understanding) in a wide sense means systematic gathering, inference and organization of knowledge, in a more strict, "western" sense this process has to be kept "reasonably rational" by obeying some specific strict rules and adhering to whatever principles of objectivity are currently set: nowadays for example the [scientific method](scientific_method.md) or mathematical [proof](proof.md). Sciences in the strict sense include [mathematics](math.md) (so called formal science), [physics](physics.md), biology, chemistry, [computer science](computer_science.md), as well as "soft sciences" such as [psychology](psychology.md), sociology etc. **The beauty of science is you don't have to trust anyone**: science is just about discovering ideas that work, ideas which anyone can verify himself at home, so there is no place for preachers, reviewers, judges of "trustworthiness" or "credibility"; people do not matter at all in science, only ideas do. For this science must not be [confused](often_confused.md) not only with [pseudoscience](pseudoscience.md) (such as [numerology](numerology.md) or [astrology](astrology.md)) but especially with **[soyence](soyence.md)** (political propaganda masked as "science", e.g. [gender studies](gender_studies.md), sponsored "science" of big pharma etc.) -- it must be remembered that **when science can no longer be questioned, it seizes to be science**, as asking questions and examining EVERYTHING are the very basic premises of a true science: this means that anything prohibited to be questioned, by law or [otherwise](de_facto.md) (e.g. by [cancel culture](cancel_culture.md)), such as the [Holocaust](holocaust.md) (forbidden to be denied in many countries such as Germany), [COVID](covid.md) vaccines, [racial](race.md) differences (prohibited on grounds of "[hate speech](hate_speech.md)") and similar topics CANNOT be seen as scientifically established, but rather politically established. Any shift towards establishing principles of trust, belief and "[moderation](moderation.md)", such as nowadays standard [peer censorship](peer_review.md), turns science into religion. As with everything once science becomes politically valuable, it will be seized by politicians -- in the [capitalist](capitalism.md) age the *science* sticker presents a brand and therefore capital; this capital is of course not just left lying around, politicians and businessmen take over it, and so the [21st century](21st_century.md) definition of science is made by politicians, not scientists, and in fact even many of those officially called scientists nowadays not scientists at all.
In the wider sense science may include anything that involves systematic intellectual research, e.g. [Buddhists](buddhism.md) often say their teaching is science rather than religion, that it is searching for objective truths, and it really is true -- a western fedora atheist will shit his pants in fury hearing such claim, however that's all he can really do.
