LATE POSTING -Due to receiving the invitation link to the blog quite late, I submitted the blog post very late. Please forgive me.

1. Summary

The article discusses the application and history of the scientific method. The scientific method, as an empirical approach to acquiring knowledge, has been a hallmark of scientific development since the 17th century. It emphasizes careful observation and rigorous skepticism to avoid distortions caused by cognitive biases. Scientific inquiry typically involves making hypotheses, conducting experiments or observations, testing hypotheses, and adjusting or abandoning hypotheses based on the results. It underscores the importance of the scientific method in problem-solving and advancing knowledge.

2. Interesting Point

I learned that the application of the scientific method requires systematicity and rigor, with careful planning and preparation from the formulation of the problem to the conduct of experiments.

They might disagree or make mistakes, but they are seen as partners in a shared mission, not enemies. This idea of good faith collaboration is explored deeply in Reagle’s writings. In the Foreword, Lawrence Lessig praises Wikipedia as an ...

[1]   By introducing foreign investment and joining international economic organizations (such as the World Trade Organization), China gradually transformed from an agriculture-based nation into a global manufacturing hub.   Accession to the WTO   In 2001, China joined the World Trade Organization (WTO) [2] , a critical milestone in the globalization process.
