Rick,
Read The Logic of Scientific Scientific Discovery by Karl Popper 1959, Thoma
Kuhn's 1962 The Structure of Scientific Revolutions , anything by Imre Lakat
s
and Paul Feyerabend's Against Method. A quick and sloppy treatment of some o
this in a statistical ecology context is the recent book by Ray Hilborn and
Marc Mangel The Ecological Detective. Hilborn is a marine population biologi
t
and may be especially interesting to you. There is a deep groundswell in
philosophy of science that if there is any scientific method at all, then
Lakatos is the most accurate in describing it. Most middlebrow scientists ar
sure that Popper is right, but most philosophers and historians doubt that
assessment.

Personally, I'm a great fan of Robert MacArthur's few words on the subject i
the introduction of his 1972 book, Geographical Ecology:
"To do science is to search for repeated patterns, not simply to accumulate
facts... The only rules of the scientific method are honest observations and
accurate logic. To be great science it must also be guided by a judgment,
almost an instinct, for what is worth studying."

She does an excellent job of describing a philosophical position that almost

Subject: Re: Philosophy of the scientific method
Rick,
Two papers that I use to teach the scientific method are:
Platt, J.R. 1964. Strong inference. Science 146: 347-353.
Chamberlin, T.C. 1897. The method of multiple working hypotheses. J.
Geol. 5: 837-848.
I have found these to be concise and clear elaborations of the utility of a
systematic scientific approach (Platt), and the benefits of multiple
hypotheses and disadvantages of a single "pet" hypothesis
(Chamberlin). Note that Chamberlin's paper is from 1897, not 1997.
Good luck.

Subject: Re: A question - topic for discussion
Great discussion topic!
Working on today's societal issues (e.g. food, medicine, cooperation,
etc.) is very important and valuable... the world would get really ugly
really fast if let our current technology be used at will without any
regard to our fellow humans. But consider, humans are not all that
inhabit the Earth. And outside of religion, there is little to indicate
that humans are 'better' than other species. I find the inequalities
between human races or nations to be significant, yet less than the
inequalities in our behavior to other species. For example, the amount
we spend per individual whale in whale conservation is undoubtedly less
than what we spend on medicines and technology to lengthen the life span
of individual humans. And what we spend on individual whales is
probably more than we spend for conservation of all biotic soil crusts
world-wide (even though loss of soil crusts has probably had a much
larger impact on human economics due to their protection and enhancement
of soils).
Just what is the proper balance, is a difficult question, but I think
humans-all, ecology-zero is obviously a bad idea. The question
originating this discussion ended "...solutions that can apply to
problems the WORLD faces" (capitalization added by me). Focusing only
on narrow human issues can ignore greater global issues. Working only
on developing better food distribution and medical conditions could
ignore pollution resulting in massive global climate change which would
then throw food and medicine production into chaos.
In the wake of recent tragedies in New York and Washington, I've heard a
few statements to the effect that National Security should be top
priority over all else because without a secure nation, we could not
depend on freedoms (or work well on societal problems). But I think
that above National Security comes World Security, because without a
secure world (environmentally as well as politically), we cannot expect
nations to be stable and secure.

The only way to reduce inequities in the human condition around the world =

The fact is that the amount of energy each of us consumes is absurd, =
especially when you consider that we need separate units for "home" and =
"work", with some ecologists requiring the maintenance of several work =
units. Consider total energy available, both as "fuels" that we mine and =

cannot live as we do; there is simply not enough energy available.
One person once told me that you can put everyone in the world in the US =

Rob:
With respect to your concept of winners and losers and that
we in the first world would need to give up our lifestyle to
develop greater equality with the remainder of the world.
And in contrast to your pessimism, I see a grassroots
movement to do just that. Many people are realizing the
futility and emptriness of our pursuits in western society
and are trying to find ways to reduce their impact on the
environment, as well as a reduction in the genral
"junkiness" (I just made that word up) of their lives. A
perusal of bookstores will show a large number of books
about this very concept of ridding ourselve of excess (some
of the books even make the NY times bestseller list). It is
a painfully slow movement to be sure, but there is a
componenet of society trying to do what you say, and adopt
less of a user-mentality. I don't expect society to change
overnight, but am hopeful that over time, such a movement to
"simpler" lifestyles will grow and prosper. In any event, I
personally don't think that things are quite as black and
white as your posting implies.

Subject: Biodiversity Shrinks as Farm Breeds Die Out
ROME (Reuters) - Breeds of farm animal are dying out and types of plant
disappearing at an alarming rate, threatening long-term food security
and depriving the world of their ability to resist disease and harsh
climates.
The United Nations (news - web sites) world food body says two breeds of
farm animals disappear each week, and 1,350 breeds face extinction.
Over the past 15 years, 300 out of 6,000 breeds of farm animal
identified by the Rome-based U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization
(news - web sites) (FAO) have become extinct.
Latest information suggests that 30 percent of the world's farm animal
breeds are at risk of disappearing, and their valuable traits, such as
their ability to adapt to harsh conditions, disease, drought and poor
quality feed, could be lost too.
