This isn’t even positivism, this is baby’s first falsificationism. I would respect a positivist critique since they at least acknowledge induction exists.

Yeah if only those Hegelians and Marxists had some sort of iterative philosophical framework that moved between theory and practice to inductively arrive at a conclusion.

But my baby-brained understanding of “utilitarianism” says communism is good, yet I don’t think Mr London School of Imperialism Apologia agrees with it.

I know how Popper is responsible for these brainworms - but how is Kuhn implicated?

Yes, indeed. But saying you know shit about epistemology and then masterfully show how shit you are at it makes me wonder why even say you are good at epistemology specifically to begin with.

Why not just: “Yeah I do the philosophies and let me tell you bombing the third world if anglo pigs don’t get enough treats is good and ethical and very philosophy”

You’re complaining about the CIA fucking up all the experiments, but it very clearly warns about bourgeois capitalists acting as a counter-revolutionary force in the experimentation protocol.

Might as well whine about gravity fucking up all your attempts at rocketry.
