  • I see you have cleverly noticed there is a 3D object in the meme image that is casting both projections.

    This argument is one that is very, very difficult to have because it veers too closely to people’s first principles.

    On one side, we have people who know they are forced by reason to believe in all truths that appear before them.

    And on the other, we have people who have decided they will choose to believe in all truths that appear before them.

    Like, it’s just a semantic difference. Nobody on the subjectivity side, nobody rational anyway, disagrees with the concept of gravity, we are just simply aware of our power as fallible human beings to destructively choose not to.

    That said, there is something very dangerous about being in the second group of people, but thinking you’re among the first. And frequently, it becomes a problem when science brushes up against cultural fields it has more trouble explaining.

    It is not always possible to see the 3D object. The ability to recognize that two groups can both be ‘correct’, like in a Newtonian way, even when they disagree with each other is a very useful skill.



  • Showing time is relative to speed does jack shit to prove things would be relative to the subject,

    With this attitude, I just don’t feel like you’d be living up to Einstein’s manner of thinking. Just too rigid.

    in no moment you showed that this “truth is subjective” babble would be even remotely true.

    Uh. Subjectively, I think it’s true.

    I really don’t think you even understand what I was trying to say with all that.

    i.e. “gravity is false for me lol I’m jumping from the building!”.

    Who is saying this?



  • so it’s less of a “truth is relative to ME! ME! ME!”

    This, I think, is an argument that exists in your head only. An excellent example of relativity, if I’m being honest.

    I don’t understand why subjectivity makes people so uncomfortable. Like, people would fight each other over the objectively correct temperature for the AC of their building if you let them—I just, I don’t get it.















  • Money can reduce stress.

    If you’re poor! These are different kinds of stress!

    I bet you if FLOSS maintainers didn’t have to worry about money, they’d be making very different choices in life.

    They’re not being paid! I think they have to worry about money quite a bit!

    people are berating him for his approach without contributing a damn thing.

    Yeah, he’s like breaking it. He should probably retire a second time before resorting to sabotaging this thing he allegedly cares about.

    They can all fuck off.

    As far as I know, they are. Like, away from rsync entirely.
