In my room we are discussing whether or not Neil deGrasse Tyson is fat or not.

You do not go to a neurologist for an autism diagnosis; it's "psychodivergence", not "neurodivergence". Millions of people are smuggling fake empiricism into their semantics. #science

Scientists understand their data can be incomplete or that their facts are separate from their values. But do we "see" data, or do we "interpret" it through the lens of our training? Perhaps even "material reality" is accessed through prior conceptual commitments; like "seeing" (unreal) magenta.. 👻

The "American philosophy" demands one take a position on an issue, no matter how little evidence actually supports the position. That science can't licence normative standards, only factual ones, is not a problem; just take a position, you pussy. After all, if it works, it's probably "true", right?

I'm considering adding "Dr. Ph.D." to my name so fewer people notice how epistemologically clueless I am, having read little outside my specialist discipline of applied myrmecology--with the predictable exception of only the most classic literature, of course. #science

If I defeat your pedestrian understanding of "science", especially while having robbed you of your triumph of being aligned with "the truth about reality", be an adult and accept the correction; don't name fallacies, call it "disinformation", and run off to jerk it to platitudinous pop-academia..

"Transgenderism", if I may use the term, is not understood because of a critical theoretical gap; the sex-gender distinction. Ordinary people still use these synonymously. This causes a huge amount of confusion. I appeal to the fact that this has been accepted by mainstream academia for ~30 years.

If the "neuro-" prefix indicates neuroscience, "neurodivergent" is, unfortunately, presently the semantic vandalism of fake empiricism. It can be supposed some people care about rigor in science, and that includes the necessities of naming.

I was busy adjusting the crenelations on my wizard's tower made entirely of books, when a scientist walked past and muttered that none of them were "empirically grounded". They clearly haven't realized some towers only need to be tall enough to look down from!

Constructed a formal-ontic-phenomenal framework for online argumentation including a taxonomy of one ideal and nineteen non-ideal roles/strategies. And since it's "just a fiction", nobody is required to take it seriously. I can probably hook it into the Big Five if required, though. Grounding. Etc.

Just had the pleasure of hearing Peter Hitchens take a precise and penetrating verbal dump on the US administration. Relatively fluent in the semblances of academia and institution; he's no minor foe, to be sure..

When people tell you their problems, work out if they need a solution or just a sympathetic ear. "Men", should such a thing exist, usually assume the first.

When i went to school in NY, there was one person in particular who apparently couldn't stop remarking on how "British" I was. Which was odd, because I was only wearing a crown and carrying a sceptre at the time.
