The moron who made this meme did it on a computer that requires literally thousands of innovations that are a direct, replicable product of the scientific method. It is the most powerful philosophical system on the planet, despite its sloppiest practitioners, and it doesn't require the belief of fucking idiots to work.

The scientific method is wonderful, but to call it a philosophical system is a misunderstanding on what philosophy and/or science is/are.

It seems likely that you have never studied either if that's your belief.

There are other arguments, but if you confuse a method and a system, you clearly don't know what you're speaking about.

Science is a hugely important subset of epistemology, the study of how we know things. Let me be blunt: you are profoundly ignorant on the history and philosophy of science. I don't expect you to thank me, but here is some reading so you can decrease your ignorance: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/scientific-method/

Your bluntness and link-dumping will not hide the fact that you make no sense. Science is not a subset of epistemology… epistemology, among other subjects, studies the links between science and truth.
