"AI compass" showing an overhyped–transformative axis and a good–bad axis. This score is firmly in the "overhyped, bad" quadrant.

art002e009298 (April 6, 2026) – A close-up view from the Orion spacecraft during the Artemis II crew’s lunar flyby on April 6, 2026, captures a total solar eclipse, with only part of the Moon visible in the frame as it fully obscures the Sun. Although the full lunar disk extends beyond the image, the Sun’s faint corona remains visible as a soft halo of light around the Moon’s edge. From this deep-space vantage point, the Moon appeared large enough to sustain nearly 54 minutes of totality, far longer than total solar eclipses typically seen from Earth. This cropped perspective emphasizes the scale of the alignment and reveals subtle structure in the corona during the rare, extended eclipse observed by the crew. The bright silver glint on the left edge of the image is the planet Venus. The round, dark gray feature visible along the Moon’s horizon between the 9 and 10 o’clock positions is Mare Crisium, a feature visible from Earth. We see faint lunar features because light reflected off of Earth provides a source of illumination.

Did The Science Wars Take Place? The Political and Ethical Stakes of Radical Realism by William Gillis

Today, one faction of reactionaries denounce leftists as enemies of science, while another faction of reactionaries happily embrace that same role, attacking science as totalitarian. Words like “postmodernism” and “relativism” get thrown about with fervor but little clarity, echoes of a conflict from decades ago.

My biggest takeaway from Science Wars is that it feels like freedom to throw away all regard for what is true and accurate, and it feels like oppression to be told "this is the way reality is," but crucially it only FEELS that way. Liberation depends on our understanding that the opposite is true.

Asserting reality is inevitably going to *seem* condescending

Is there actually a physical world and can we know anything about it?

Did academics on the left influence “post-truth” politics on the right?

How could supposed defenders of “science” get lost in a mire of transphobia?

I think this is probably my favorite post of yours. It crosses my mind constantly
The only real fight left is the fight between freedom-to (anarchism, transhumanism, etc) and freedom-from (nationalism, reaction, etc).
