- Comment on A complete tier list for our solar system 3 days ago:
You’ve described the Aristotelian-Ptolemaic model which dates back to the 2nd century CE. This was part of, but not the extent of the mideval cosmography.
In the cosmography of the middle ages, there existed a realm outside the spheres where God and the angels dwelled. Each of the planets color the divine light of God and pour God’s beneficence upon the Earth. The earth was low and seemingly distant from the heavenly realms. And in the middle of the earth was hell.
A competing mideval theory put God at the center and the Earth at the most distant sphere. It borrowed from another tradition, the Neoplatonists. Here God is a a pure light and the sphere distort the light of God. Humans couldn’t handle the pure light of God, but all the distortions make the universe appear fractured and not unitary. We don’t see God in everything, just the many things.

I’m not denying that modern evolutionary theories use math and I think it’s important, but that in many sciences, math isn’t the focus like it is in physics. A lot of good science can be done without math. Darwin did good science without math.
To be very clear, science doesn’t need math. We use math as a tool to accurately describe phememona and relationships with math.
I don’t what you are saying about models being mathematical by definition eben if people can handle it. I don’t see how the model of the cell is mathematical. Models require relationships and not mathematics to describe those relationships.

I’m not familiar with what they do. Describe it and I might be able to. Or not.

I hate how we center physics and it’s use of mathematical tools as the right way of doing science. Many, if not all sciences today, leverage mathmatical tools to create models. But Darwin, as far as I recall, didn’t use math at all. A whole host of sciences don’t approach their problems through mathematically described laws or even statistical models. Earth sciences, botany, anatomy, organic chemistry, ethnography, and archelogy come to mind.

Engineering is not science. It uses science to make decisions.

I’m sorry if it came off that way. Wasn’t my intent. Sorry your wife isn’t receiving that sincerity.

Have you tried telling her with sincerity and openness and not anger or self righteousness that this is important to you?

From the AP article.
The assignment was for a psychology class about lifespan development. Students were asked to write a 650-word response to an academic study that examined whether conformity with gender norms was associated with popularity or bullying among middle school students.
“Please note that I am not deducting points because you have certain beliefs,” the instructor wrote in feedback obtained by The Oklahoman. Instead, the instructor said the paper did “not answer the questions for the assignment.”
The paper “contradicts itself, heavily uses personal ideology over empirical evidence in a scientific class, and is at times offensive” the criticism went on.
The article links to the essay, but not to the referenced paper. Does anyone have a link to the original paper?

It’s sad because they aren’t curious about nuance and polarize it instantly. So it’s impossible to reorient to those more interesting qualities. Doing so is a rhetorical mistake. So we’re left with not leaving a comment or engaging in an unnecessarily polarized discussion.

Hell yeah. Matching people’s energy and tone have been invaluable for me. And not just in the terrible situations. I find matching kind and energetic people even when I’m not in the mood to be the best cure for my malaise.
