YesMagazine asks "After Thousands of Years, Western Science Is Slowly Catching Up Indigenous Knowledge"

Are Indigenous and Western systems of knowledge categorically antithetical? Or do they offer multiple points of entry into knowledge of the world, past and present? In many cases, science and history are catching up with what Indigenous peoples have long known."

New research shows that firebrand carrying birds in Australia's Northern Territory use arson to improve food availability! Traditional knowledge that Australian First Nations People have known for thousands of years.

I think you are right. Science requires observable, measurable and replicable outcomes to determine the authenticity of something. Other ideologies just get on with it because they now it works and don’t consider how. In many cases if you know how many beans you need to have five beans you don’t need the information determining different combinations such as two beans, a bean and a half, half a bean and a bean!

A friend invented the word "graspience" to describe the phenomenon described by you. It is a combination of common sense, previous observation, logic and belief. Thus the concept of bird arsonists are not scoffed at but the connection with improved food availability is instantly recognised and accepted.
