i sleep better knowing trump voters are suffering. i hope it gets worse for them
- Comment on Harry Potter and... fits into everything 6 days ago:
this sort of comment is exactly what i’m talking about. taking a blatantly metaphoric (cliched even) statement literally, and arguing against that, and then asking me to explain how private personal relationships might affect one’s general overall attitude? really?
but seriously, if you’re just trolling–keep practicing. if not, then thanks for illustrating my point.
- Comment on Harry Potter and... fits into everything 6 days ago:
how good human nature can be that academia is still working on such a collaborative and communicative basis despite capitalist and neoliberal pressures.
you mean all the dozens of prestigious unis who completely buckled like an accordion to obey in advance and defenestrate their DEI policies because…trump?
to be fair, the cultural anti intellectual takeover of the country is basically complete-- that, added to the college age population cliff, and fascism means higher education’s days are numbered anyway. unless you’re a STEM hotshot and are willing to sign a “i love trump and i hate DEI” pledge, then you should start thinking about plans B, C, and D
- Comment on Harry Potter and... fits into everything 6 days ago:
academia would be a much better place if every pompous ass my-shit-don’t-stink scholar had a spouse to regularly bust them down a peg and make them stop taking themselves so seriously to the point of cringe
- Comment on What Refutes Science... 1 week ago:
the problem is that AI can generate a million bogus “research papers” for every single legit paper. and for the general public (ie science writers, bloggers, news reporters, etc.) they are indistinguishable from each other. so unless you have literally done the research on a particular hypothesis yourself (good luck with that, with all the funding cuts), then everything is suspect
so the question of “are we better off with AI?” as of right now, is absolutely fucking not
- Comment on What Refutes Science... 1 week ago:
don’t worry, science as conclusions derived from research will soon be replaced by bullshit psuedo-research-AI-word-vomit derived from equally bullshit pre-determined conclusions

it’s incredible to me how someone can take
Reason is a whore… never comes to the aid of spiritual things
and turn it into some weird word salad that has some completely different meaning than what the quote literally says. because, as usual, “oUt Of CoNtExT”
also, who cares who said it? the message is the message regardless if it came from martin luther or some rando pulled it out of their ass 10 minutes ago-- and it’s the direction this country is heading
finally, “a higher standard” of reason-- the people i’m talking about defenestrate reason, logic, facts, evidence-- everything one would use in the process of critical thinking, in favor of faith, which literally means believing something to be true just because you want it to be. there IS NO standard there. using reason AT ALL means one is rising above them
do as you will with whatever you want

funny how apologists rarely apologize
- Comment on A delicate balance 1 month ago:
unfortunately this country is increasingly leaning towards martin luther’s take on reason:
“Reason is a whore, the greatest enemy that faith has; it never comes to the aid of spiritual things, but more frequently than not struggles against the divine Word, treating with contempt all that emanates from God.”
