Theres a difference between science and scientISTS 

For example: 

Science says: we can't prove this with OUR methods, so claims about it being factual we call "pseudoscience" (thats literally what it means, not more than that)

ScientIST say: it is pseudoscience, THEREFOR it is probably bullshit

Crucial difference

That is a silly difference. Science is equally guilty as scientists.

science created some of your beloved psychedelics 😁

Im not saying science isn't limited, ofc it is, but I feel science itself at its core doesn't really claim otherwise, its my impression for now

Im not keen on all the definitions , but now I looked that up and yea I see what youre saying. 

Basically, I think sometimes, people will miss out on great value of something, because they are judging it , and a lot of judgment can be based sort of on the impression they get of the people who do it, rather than the core of it

In similar way ive seen people here claim "new age is not spiritual" I think its close minded

Yeah. Judgment is a belief, whereas reality isn't.

The critique could better be directed towards faith-based thinking, which is the underlying activity of religion, scientism, spirituality, atheism, other isms, etc.
