  • Oh my god, thank you - apparently I'm aging myself. Yes - we didn't used to need go through bomb checkpoints.

    Also for the record I feel bad about saying idiotic and NPC! That was unnecessarily unkind, even if I found her excruciatingly vapid

  • So you agree but you felt the way I wrote it was disdainful, and you thought I didn't choose a good example.

    Perhaps I should have said something along the lines of 'modern scientific cultural norms are influenced by the European Enlightenment.'

    I specifically didn't mention falsfiabilty and logical positivism etc as I wanted to keep the comment light and accessible.

    I was suggesting they read more because it's generally a good idea to read more about things you're interested in.

  • Oof sorry to see that landed so hard - I was genuinely trying to add to the conversation and truly was not expecting this to be so controversial.

    I didn't say maths was from Europe, and I didn't say Europeans invented 2+2=4 and I certainly didn't say 2+2 could or should equal 5.

    Also, honestly sincere genuine question - what am I gatekeeping and where's the disdain for Enlightenment ideals? Please quote me!

  • It is a method! That method is predicated on European Enlightenment avowals of what constitutes an acceptable boundary of truth, an acceptable methodology, and the primacy of certain measurements. That's the subjective part.

    2+2 does equal 4. That doesn't mean valuing 4 as an answer or valuing the act of valuing of the certainty of 2+2=4 is an objective position.

    Look into Philosophy of Science - this is not a controversial perspective.

  • Tell me about it. I don't need this bland-millenial-shouting-about-their-extremely-standard-lives fodder.

  • As a teacher, I filled in to be the last person they needed for a college trip to Disney. As we entered the park and got checked for bombs,my idiotic NPC colleague lisped "it's so beautiful here 🥹". As we were getting checked for BOMBS
