  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

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

    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.

  It just feels like understanding to white cultural values

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

    Of course I’m not saying that.
