The MAGA people are realists. They believe that they are thinking and acting in alignment with objective reality. You and I can think they’re wrong, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t realists. When it comes to the question of objective reality, they’re on your side, not Mine. They don’t think their perceptions are subjective. They don’t think gender and race are social constructs. They don’t take responsibility for their perceptions like I do.
You’re making the mistake of conflating being wrong with being a subjectivist. Have a serious think, you believe they think gender is a subjective social construct? Not a chance!

The belief in an objective reality is a prerequisite to the owning class’s control of reality. People let the media tell them what to believe, because they want to believe in objective reality. They don’t want to actively participate in creating their own subjective world.
And that’s exactly why the belief in an objective reality is a dangerous and corrupting technology. We shouldn’t leave such a powerful tool for control lying around where evil people can get their hands on it. We need to raise the next generation believing that the universe is subjective in nature, armed with the knowledge of all the horrible atrocities that realists have committed throughout history. The crusades. The slave trade. The stolen generations. The holocaust. All motivated by the belief in an objective reality, with objective reasons to oppress the weak. Realism is an evil technology.

Your perceptions are influenced by your beliefs, and your beliefs are influenced by your culture. So if someone can buy control of our cultural media, they can control reality for the general population. And that’s exactly what they’ve been doing. The owning class have literally constrained our ability to imagine and perceive a fair and just world. For example, they spent centuries silencing queer people, and as a result, most people became literally incapable of perceiving a nonbinary person. When they looked at someone like Me, they would see a man or a woman instead. Their foundational perception was and is distorted.
For a revolution against the owning class to be successful, we need not just to destroy the state apparati of physical control, but also of mental control. We need to destroy the belief in a capitalist cisheteropatriarchal reality. https://soulism.net

Wow, you made short work of that strawman! Problem is, this thread is old and we’re deep in a thread, so nobody else is reading this. There are only two people listening to this conversation. Now, obviously a strawman fallacy won’t persuade Me, so I must conclude that you were using that strawman for your own satisfaction, to feel like you’ve won the argument in your own mind, regardless of what anyone else thinks. Which is pretty hypocritical, given you were just making fun of that sort of behaviour.

I sure can believe anything, I can believe whatever I want. I take choice, agency, and responsibility over My worldview. While realists take no agency and no accountability, they take no active part in shaping their perceptual world. I choose My perception based on My moral compass, but realists can be manipulated into believing anything.

Sure, why not? Here, https://multiverse.soulism.net/post/67924/comment/535398. This Lemmy user said if you believe in gods, you think you’re right and others are wrong, and that leads to a dogmatic mindset. Now, reality obviously has all the same qualities as a god in this context, so although I don’t personally believe religion leads to dogma, I’m happy to cite you at yourself and ask that you take your own advice and believe in no absolute truth.

Yeah, and that’s why realists who believe in an objective reality are stupid. They won’t admit they’re wrong no matter how much evidence is stacked against them.
- Comment on Unconventional strategy. 21 hours ago:
That’s not true. I believe in gods and I’m n antirealist. I think everything is subjective and we should kill the idea of one objective reality.

We don’t need to worry about those because they’re already meteorites. We only have to worry about them while they’re meteors.

They’re called meteors, you drill bit. How can we take your feedback on the moon tarp project seriously if you don’t know the difference between meteors and meteorites? SMH people these days

Nah, I reject the notion that all animation must mature into live action. Animation is the best artform for action scenes and showcasing the impossible. That’s why every Marvel movie goes from live action in the beginning and middle, to an expensive CGI fight at the end. Marvel movies are evolving into animation. But they’re taking a really bad route to get there, in that they start with live action and thus feel beholden to photorealism. If they would have just gone with animation from the beginning, then they could save money and dodge the uncanny valley by going with a stylised artstyle.
I want more animated cartoon Star Trek with an unrealistic artstyle and 22 minute episodes. And I want 50 episode seasons of cartoon trek!

Okay, so Troy and Abed, two community college students, told a scary story where two military pilots crash landed in the woods by a mad scientist’s cabin. The scientist (depicted as their elderly friend Pierce) sewed them together while they were unconscious from the crash. But what he didn’t realise is that connecting their brains together gave them psychic powers. So then they did weird surgery on him for revenge. They put his butt on his chest and swapped his hands and feet. This is him after he wakes up from the surgery.

I thought we already had 3 seasons of classic star trek? I’m kinda tired of classic star trek tbh. Make the sequel to Lower Decks! I wanna see Bradward and Beckett mentor the next next next generation!

Well then John Cena is overweight. In fact, he’s obese, with a BMI of 33.9. So BMI isn’t objective reality. And I think it’s useful only as a very rough guideline.
Now I want to question something that’s gone unsaid in this conversation so far. We started with the question “Is Tilly fat?” And now suddenly you’re talking about medicine and health. Is fatness purely a matter of health? I don’t think so. I think fatness touches beauty standards, body autonomy, culture, gender presentation, expression, and identity, and a lot more. I don’t think it’s just health.
And if it is, then Tilly isn’t fat, because she lives in the Federation where they have advanced medical technology. I don’t believe Tilly’s weight is a health concern in the same universe that has dermal regenerators in every first aid kit. I think her blood levels are all great, her physical fitness is within regulation, and her joints are all in perfect condition for her age. I assume that about every Starfleet Officer. I think they have the technology to make all that possible at any weight we’ve seen in the show.
Furthermore, I think Tilly could lose weight very easily if she wanted. Starfleet has synthetic alcohol that breaks down in the presence of adrenaline, I think meals to match an ideal nutritional profile regardless of your fitness goals and portion size are easy in comparison, given replicator technology. I think Tilly chooses her weight because she likes the way she looks and feels the way she is.
So, given all this, is Tilly fat? Well, I think that’s her choice. If we’ve controlled for health, then the biggest effect of the definition is her own comfort. So we should be asking her if she’d like to be called fat. Some people do, and that’s valid. Some people don’t, and that’s valid. I believe in technology and personal choice.

- Comment on Karim Diané on playing Star Trek’s first gay Klingon 2 days ago:
This is a good example of soulism. Something as basic about our perception of people as whether they’re fat changes based on our home culture. Ultimately, the quality of being fat is a social construct. Science can’t give us a hard cutoff, only culture can do that. Science can only give us degrees.
A naive realist would respond to this ambiguity by denying its existence and saying whatever they think is fat, is fat. A scientific realist would try to find an objective answer in science, perhaps using appealing to the authority of BMI, or looking for a more reliable measurement. A social constructivist would accept that there’s no answer. But a soulist would begin asking what definition of “fat” helps society the most, so we can make a conscious choice of what to believe. The soulist is the only one displaying true agency in how our perceptual world is created.

If Christopher Columbus had died of a stroke before he lead his expedition to the Americas, all of modern history would have been at least a little different. Most people alive today would not exist in the same form. Our parents wouldn’t have boinked at the same time they did, the same sperm would not have fertilised those eggs, we would all be different people.
There is some quantum probability that Columbus would have had a stroke. Not a high one, but it’s perfectly possible, through quantum tunneling if nothing else. Thus, the earth’s waveform is in superposition between that version of history and this one. You don’t have to call that a different universe, but the authors of the many worlds theory do.

We can all see she’s overweight
I can’t. My perceptions have been altered by the high prevalence of obesity in our society. I now have higher standards. She looks a little thicker than most people, but not in a way I’d been conscious of before today.
