  These words feel like they make sense but I don’t believe in categories so who cares what they mean.

    Yeah there isn’t one thing that can be said that will make someone so ignorant understand how wrong they are.

  Sure, you could also simply stand around looking at things saying “hmmmm…”. After all every observation is unique, so you could accept all the differences and just observe it as it is, say “hmmmm” and then move on to the next unique and special observation. Trying to identify commonality and give it names just throws away most of the information in each unique and special experience

  It just feels like understanding to white cultural values

  Am I reading this wrong, or are you saying science is inherently racist?

    I will defend this point(not any of the other ones tho)

    Science is inherently bound to our culture in what we value, how we believe truth is produced, what we do and do not accept as valid criteria for classification.

    taxonomic classification is useful, but relative to the culture that produced it, which is in large part dominated by “white” culture. A different cultural group might split along different lines.

    Of course I’m not saying that.

      You could expand on your talking points more.

        This person seems personally aggrieved and doesn’t want to learn why their perspectives are incorrect. There is a steadfast ignorance here.

  So you don’t consider astronomy to be a serious field?

  • Grail@multiverse.soulism.net ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    There’s a lot more to astronomy than just knowing what kind of thing a thing is. We don’t just look at dots in the sky and say “ooh, that’s a neutron star, that’s a brown dwarf, and that’s a planet”.

      And we don’t do that in taxonomy either.
