to be clear, this is my argument:

“pro-science” has come to represent a type of behavior in people that, much like the evangelicals, exerts this dogmatic-and-unproductive understanding of the world, and with utmost faith to an outdated portion of the western cannon. and beyond that, it lends itself to corporate interest by nature of corporate being the ones who fund scientific studies

i don’t really have interest in taking this conversation beyond that. i realize that this argument is new to you, and that it’s scares you, and i’m sorry for that. you can have the last words and i just hope for readers to take my argument for what it is.

facts. and let’s not forget that the way corporate-funded science played both Sugar and Cigarettes resulted in a massive body count.

hmm, well Descartes invented science (in a dream, lol @ philosophical materialists) and would likely agree with me just like pretty much anyone in the world of intellectualism

i’m cherishing my downvotes here, please bestow them onto me, because i know that they are a reflection of my — as you put it — “unique take” dissenting from the masses. but i know what the masses are like: watch Jerry Springer and see for yourself. and i also know what the Sciences are like: i work in Science. and i think that this 110-iq habit of deifying Science is parasitic and the same institutional worship as the church. on top of that, half of the people doing it are working off outdated frameworks like Classical Physics and have created their own religion that rivals contemporary evangelism in its dogmatic-and-unproductive nature.

sorry, philistinism just pisses me off. read Deleuze or study metaphysics or something.

to a large degree our understanding of scientific truth is shaped by corporate interest. i find science-minded people to not actually be very intelligent people: they do things like treat MLA Standard like truth and foolishly lock themselves from evolving further. also their rigorous and analytical behaviors remove them from inquiry into emotionality and the sensory experience so much as to render them philistine

i prefer philosophers and artists (writers) personally, or, shit, nurses and gardeners: they seem to be caring wild amounts of Truth in them

edit: “caring” was a typo but i like it so im leaving it lol

it’s a metaphysical substance with vampiric properties.

however, in my praxis and agitprop i do not fight against money or markets. i fight against capitalists inheriting all the wealth through a stock market riddled by Dark Pools and Arbitration and landlords that suck up a giant portion of our wealth (and even Adam Smith spoke against).
