A Plain Language Position on the Naturalist Explanatory Programme
Rebuttal in a nutshell
Taken as a whole, the naturalistic research programme leans heavily on untested “just‑so” stories, finely tuned lab setups that don’t scale to real‑world conditions, logical fallacies, probabilistic miracles, and repeated appeals to deep time and “emergence magic” to bridge gaps that lack demonstrated mechanisms.
In other words, “trust me, bro”.
