This is just an attack on absolutely everything that isn’t a hard-science based in mathematics. Or poo poo pee pee for short.
Except that mathematics mostly isn’t a “casual model generating precise predictions”, especially at the higher levels, famously so with the philosophical failures of Bertrand Russell.
Gödel tapping the sign
No consistent system of axioms whose theorems can be listed by an effective procedure (i.e., an algorithm) is capable of proving all truths about the arithmetic of natural numbers
Here’s the twist: This guy isn’t a STEM lord, he’s an assistant professor for philosophy.
Well that’s fucking hilarious
Love to “make casual models generating precise predictions” for philosophy problems such as the problem of universals
Fuckin dweeb needs to go back to helping determine the answers to such critical conundrums as “does a haybale exist if you remove five pieces of straw from it”
Thus the intense drive by neo-liberal economists to mathematize their “science.” It’s physics envy. A bunch of dorks made massive assumptions about human behavior and motivations because that made it a lot easier to model with mathematics, then spent the next century jacking themselves off until they were left with nothing but a bloody stump.
Too bad their assumptions WERE WRONG and they should be laughed at for being such dorks :farquaad-point:
Positivism zealots are so tiring
This isn’t even positivism, this is baby’s first falsificationism. I would respect a positivist critique since they at least acknowledge induction exists.
Mfers read Popper once and think they’re brain geniuses who’ve debunked Marx
Cockshott is a TERF Anglo prick, but he has in fact shown, mathematically, that the LTV is correct. Yes, in a peer reviewed journal.
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.
Holy shit:
Liam Kofi Bright is a British philosopher of science who is an assistant professor or lecturer in the department of philosophy, logic, and scientific method at the London School of Economics and Political Science. He works primarily on formal social epistemology, particularly the social epistemology of science
WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU DO FOR A LIVING THEN
average anglo philosopher cannot read books, all they know is utilitarianism, twerk, call things “continental” and lie
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”
I like my models to be casual, ya know, nothing too fancy
