Exactly right, Joe.

I’ve heard of the dead guy’s series from almost half a century ago.

I have no idea wtf Duck Dynasty is. Sounds like something I’d order with plum sauce.

looks at pot plant

😠

They said they believe.

Only knowledge has sources; but beliefs sound cool.

I don’t know why I used a semicolon there, but it’s staying.

No, it’s definitely hacking because that makes me a hacker with my friends sports TV subscription 👨‍💻😎

They do this with Early Access and people still lose their shit about empty content and unfinished graphics in a game they paid $10 for.

I dunno. I kinda like that guy more than the college kid that just read up on Marxism and now holds it as the solution to everything.

I’d love to invite them both to the same party.

He’s probably earned enough to keep the farm afloat for another 12 months or so.

My wife hung out with her for the day as part of her job. Her mother was a bitch—my wife accidentally tripped Taylor over and the mother lost it—but Taylor was super nice. They were friends by the end of the day and swapped numbers, but neither ever reached out haha.

This was before she got super famous and was just some young country singer. I dunno if she’s still the same but I don’t see why not.

Without looking into the actual stats, it’s so incredibly common it’s normal. There are pedantic pros and cons to both; it’s trivial. But more people have a second toe shorter than the first.

And this is why you don’t get invited into other people’s showers.

In this context, you use the term “belief” very well.

This post is discussing the phenomenon of people thinking that science is objective and rigid when in reality it is anything but.

It’s not though. That’s all you.

The irony of such a statement…

I don’t want to deflate your assumption, but “Science is pure objectivity and truth”.

The assumption you introduced just added another layer on by bringing Marxism into it. And here’s the thing with that fallacy; you may be very right! But, it’s got nothing to do with the original statement anymore. It’s just going down tangents of a tangent that should be explored under their own initiative, not the blanket of “science”.

It’s not literal; as the fallacy credits, neither is it necessarily wrong. But(!!!), they’re just not related.

The entire post itself—and your reply—is social science. But science is incapable of alignment to any -ism. All isms are human-made. If they are 100% true, they are not isms.

Edit: Sorry, I’m drunk af, so probably you are right…maybe… At least in my mind, I’m just reading Statement B as literally as Statement A and therefore can’t see correlation without social agenda—theyre just two very different things. Science and agenda; or agenda using “science”. It’s bias. That’s very unscientific.

This is a clean example of an ignoratio elenchi fallacy.

Statement B attempts to use Statement A to make an unrelated point that isn’t necessarily untrue, but it is still unrelated.

This could be done with any combination of…

“Under capitalism, <random thing> is…”
“Under <random ism>, science is…”

They would all result in a statement that supports Speaker B, but is no longer relevant to what Speaker A stated, as the topic has changed. In this case, from science to capitalism.

I.e. It’s an anti-capitalism meme attempting to use science to appeal to a broader audience through relevance fallacy. Both statements may be true, but do not belong in the same picture.

Unless, of course, “that’s the joke” and I’m just that dumb.

Edit: I’m not a supporter of capitalism. But I am a supporter of science—haha, like it needs me to exist—and this is an interesting example of social science. It seems personal opinion is paramount to some individuals rather than unbiased assessment of the statement as a whole. Call me boring and autistic, but that’s what science be and anything else isn’t science, it’s just personal opinion, belief, theory, etc.

I’d be surprised if it lasted longer than any other socially progressive trend. A few weeks, tops, with largest proportions falling off in the first week.

This is the reality of social momentum these days. Resistance is no threat because it has extremely brief lifespan before moving onto the next thing to be a part of.

Oh, yeah. I forgot Ametica is racist so people do think about those things there.

Getting desperate. No one would care if Harris worked a junior role there or not. Almost no one would care about their job history in general.
