Can you provide an academic paper? I think I understand the concept, but I fail to see it being meaningful with relation to the examples I posed of why the social sciences aren’t scientific.
Seems more like religion and blind belief to me. I agree that you can’t define consciousness in terms of particles… yet. But to say it’s impossible is a huge leap. High level biology is basically all physics and chem for this reason; it’s emergent from the 2 together. That doesn’t mean that you can’t define biological processes in terms of their chemical and physical activities though. It’s kind of like free will: we think we have it because we make ‘choices’ but at the end of the day our brain is just a series of particles, so where does the free will come from? Are we just deluding ourselves?
The second video goes into that a lot. You’re right though that the lens of how people view the world is a belief. People tend to fall on one side or the other for a reason, most of which is related to external vs internal locus of control which is also an order beyond lol. I get it, people want science to be black and white for a reason because order.
And no, you genuinely cannot explain politics with particle physics because it’s a human construct sufficiently advanced to not be explained by it’s baser inputs. Explaining the concept of philosophy through particle physics is a fools errand because they have nothing to do with each other lol. You’re trying to fit the circular block in the square hole… hehe.
There are orders of magnitude to these things where something can be explained sufficiently as long as they’re close enough in literal size scale to each other, but you go further and it breaks down.
You’re not an automaton, you’re thinking to yourself right now and have probably formed relationships with many people which requires concepts like love which can be explained partly with oxytocin but you don’t get love by saying this hydrogen couples with this oxygen spot on a hormone receptive cell, biomarker, particle, etc… You have to introduce hormones, larger systems, human bonds, replication, feel good molecules up and up until it’s something different that’s lost on just saying this fits here and does this other thing.
Could you explain the entire science_meme culture experience browsing Lemmy by only describing chemistry? You’d be hard pressed to not be able to describe it without having to use multiple human-only concepts once you get past the internet, simple changes in your body to make you feel good browsing, seeing, color, reddit exodus, keyboard, breathing, laughing, the dichotomy, the concept of false or propaganda lol.
Besides thirty minutes of well sourced videos and an entire wiki page with more source than I could ever provide?
It sounds like you’re just obstinately head in sand sealioning stupid now lol. It’s like asking for a source paper on the entirety of particle physics lmfao. Like what?
I think you just don’t understand what I’m saying. All that may be true but then you would need to control for ALL those variables for good science which you just cannot do in the social sciences.
They’re important, just not really good science. They’re useful, but not in the way physics is. There aren’t competing theories of the most basic levels of understanding in the hard sciences. There are throughout the entirety of the fields of the social sciences.

Emergence. As in when something becomes greater than the sum of it’s parts. Sapience. Life. Consciousness.

WhaaaaaaaaaaaAaaaaaaat? Lol.
Homie you’re overthinking emergence.
You cannot explain consciousness through the collision of atoms.
It’s literally something being bigger in human thought than the sum of it’s parts. That’s it.

Lots of words to say I have no proof and provide only conjecture.
