  And then “4” guy will get upset about being called on his shit, and say, “Actually, you are the dumb fuck.”

    Better yet he will ask you to produce the “source” showing that it is not 4

      And then say that source is discredited, without providing a source for that claim.

    The “4” guy is simping for billionaires, who will buy the forum and censor the other guy for calling him out as a “dumb fuck.”

      Also the 4 guy has a podcast and a social media presence and thousands of followers who are willing to back up his idiotic claims and silence anyone who disagrees.

      Not calling you a dumbfucks is infringing on my freedom of speech, and in tie breakers you defer to calling someone a dumbfuck. Source: 13 years practice in bird law

  I miss the 1996 internet, when it was just us nerds arguing about Star Trek versus Star Wars. We never should’ve invited the rest into our space. That was the beginning of the end.

  I get the spirit of the comic, HOWEVER: if you put a little tail on it - you’re getting close to 4 territory.

  You shouldn’t go straight to calling someone a dumb fuck for that.

  I try real hard to say what I think without being purposely insulting. I do this, because as soon as someone resorts to insults or character attack, I stop reading or listening to them (even when they am not involved in the conversation).

  Avoid personal attacks and name calling if you want your point to remain valid to the listener.

      If someone gish gallops you, don’t waste your time countering every point. Tell them to fuck off.

  There are no undeniable facts. Science doesn’t prove anything objectively, it merely provides evidence to support or reject certain ideas.

  source

  • Belgdore@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    This is true to the extent that science can only prove things through induction and induction is not as good as deduction for logical proofs. Which means that it is not “objective” in the logical senses as it relates to physical reality. But science is “objective” to the extent that experiments are repeatable by any any given person following the same methodology will be the same results.

    However the meme image is about interpretation of glyphs used to represent numbers. And the left guy on the bottom is a dumb fuck for not using one of the possible agreed upon options for the interpretation of that glyph.

    This is more about interpretation of language and communication than science. Which puts you somewhere between the “9” and “6” guys because you are at least keeping the conversation in the interpretation of data / epistemology arena.

    The problem are the people who see this and call it woke or start rambling about a flat earth. Those are the real dumb fucks who aren’t talking about any reasonable interpretation of the thing that is clearly being discussed.

      But science is “objective” to the extent that experiments are repeatable by any any given person following the same methodology will be the same results.

      No, the beliefs of the researcher are a confounding variable in any experiment. This is called observer bias. Most researchers believe in disputed ideas like personhood, spacetime, and objects, which influence their scientific conclusions. This isn’t a bug, it’s a feature. Science exists within our socially constructed world. A truly objective epistemology would be incomprehensible to us, because we are not objectively perceiving or thinking creatures.

    Science is the language of the gods, and by speaking it, we become enlightened.

      You religious quacks are what’s wrong with science. Worshipping the idea of science instead of using the scientific method as a tool.

  Post structuralism is a mental disorder

  source

  • Genius@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    questions the objectivity or stability of the various interpretive structures that are posited by structuralism and considers them to be constituted by broader systems of power.

    Calling people who disagree with you mentally ill is one of the reasons poststructuralists say you’re oppressing them.

    • DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      I am oppressing them because they deserve it for their beliefs
