  1. I refute it thus (kicks large rock)

  2. I haven't even watched it. Yeah, uncertainty principle to the power of postmodernism.2+2 equals 5

  3. "We modern Westerners" - there it is. Not modern humans - is this going to be like yesterday's offering, that we view history through the lens of racism? No sensible person thinks that the mythos and logos of the modern world is the only (or right) way of viewing reality? His post modernist education has shut his mind to fundamentals of the human experience, which are universal.

  4. When our grandfather's ran up the beaches of Dunkirk, did they stop to do a tiktok dance, check their FB likes, and virtue signal or did they do it for the altruism of the tribe , just like the Athenians?

  5.  @northcountryfisher2121  I wish you were right about the last part, but yes, evolvability is a thing.

  6. Historian that should learn something about the nature of evolution.

  7.  @KootFloris  Ah, you made an assumption there. By evolution I meant the free market economics of nature, which never goes away, only the illusion that it has. It is as true today as then. I live in 2021, so by default I know about propaganda, but I have also read many books on the history and methods of persuasion.

  8. All modern heavy metal singing appears to say that line over and over.

  9.  @benajminfelix7449  Don't think I was actually. I'm guessing you didn't see the one from yesterday.

  10.  @noalear  Pretty similar rant at the end. It's about cultural relativism, and that is a cornerstone of post modernism.

  11. Is this a question?

  12. Is this an answer?

  13. It's called post modernism. Don't but a book on the subject - we don't wan't to encourage them.

  14. Idiocracy, if this video is anything to go by.

  15.  @tobiaskurjata5083  It's a Dr Johnson quote (inventor of the first dictionary)

  18.  @darkjill2007  Yeah, true. Swimming the channel back wasn't really an option. Probably the same for the Athenian soldiers too.

  20. I suggest that you don't step off a tall building to test that hypothesis.

  21.  @defenderofwisdom  Obviously objective reality does not exist, it is our nervous systems interpretation bia electical signals of the world around us. It is reliable though, which strongly suggets ( including evolutionary reasons) that it has always been so. I refute post modernism, it is a cancer that has pervaded all avenues of our lives. If you cut me, do I not bleed? It takes a peverse logic not to empathise with others, whose experience of pain must be analogous to our own. It's very very dicey territory to forget this.

  22.  @defenderofwisdom  Apart from in an A Priori sense, I guess we won't know, even if A.I. can tells us about its experiences. But many of humanities greatest scientific insights came from utter bafflement at the data, for years and years. Quantum mechanics would never have been dreamed up out of imagination alone. Harrison's clocks were imagined, examined, built and refined using empiricism, logic and an understanding of the data. Maybe the depths of reality are subjective, but they are so reliable that we might as well treat them as true. The device s we are typing on are based on principles that are to some extent an enigma, but they still work.
