Level 4 concept (Moderate) - Concept an Izara Community should consider implementing
Overview
The Scientific method is a relatively simple technique communities can use to make decisions that achieve desired outcomes. Rather than making assumptions and arguing which assumption is correct, a community can test different ideas, decide on measurable metrics, and compare different experiments.
When combined with Humility and the Socratic method no experiment result should be considered absolute truth, all results should be replicatable and able to hold up to scrutiny, new ideas that counter established beliefs should not be ignored and ridiculed but rather given the chance to prove themselves through experimentation.
