13. Pre-science and pseudo-science mixture
While the hypothesis is in process of a
formulation, it yet has not acquired all scientific apparatus and is, more
likely, a product of brain storm on a certain theme,
probably, carried out collectively by an exchange of opinions in printing
editions. And during this moment it is a pre-science - however it is aimed at
becoming a science part, that is to pass corresponding
selection and to be accepted or rejected. The pseudo science can simulate all
attributes of scientific character - ranks, references, a mathematical
apparatus, - nevertheless, its purpose - not search of authentic knowledge, but
visibility of reliability. All statements about global risks are hypotheses which we almost never can check up. However we
should not reject them on early phases of maturing. In other words, the phase
of brain storm and a phase of critical elimination
should not mix up - though both should be present.
