Cybernetic Vermin posted:the success of science in effecting an incremental improvement in a vast array of areas over the past 100 years has lead the current discourse to the view that science is what makes academic work, or thinking in general, good, where it actually is a method with extremely limited applicability. we have in the past already seen the issue in the areas of race biology, and a lot of almost as lovely things going on in the views on psychology and treatment of mental illness, but it is now ingrained enough that it is hard to even have a conversation about ppl itt apparently have very weird misconceptions about what science is

Although he agrees that it would take a force of about 3,000 newtons to push over a standing cow, biologist Steven Vogel thinks that the study by Lillie and Boechler overestimates the pushing ability of an individual human.[10] Using data from Cotterell and Kamminga, who estimated that humans exert a pushing force of 280 newtons,[11] Vogel suggests that someone applying force at the requisite height to topple a cow might generate a maximum push of no more than 300 newtons. By this calculation, at least 10 people would be needed to tip over a non-reacting cow.

The song tells the story, in oblique terms, of a nightlight with the appearance of a blue canary, from the point of view of the nightlight itself. The summation of its opening statements ("I'm your only friend; I'm not your only friend, but I'm a little glowing friend, but really I'm not actually your friend; but I am") reveals that while it is not really a friend in the traditional sense of the word, its job as a nocturnal protector of its owner (the listener) makes it their only friend while they sleep. It asks the listener to make a birdhouse (being a safe place for something small and vulnerable) for the light it creates in their mind and soul.

syscall girl posted:i would appreciate the deets on spiraling shape, tia wikipedia has no idea and genius.com only has one quote:The song is about hype, and how easily people buy into it. What the spiraling shape is doesn’t really matter, because people are so excited about it that they’re singing its praises before even experiencing it or even knowing what it is. You can’t even really explain why you love it or why you’re excited about it, because you’re so overwhelmed with the need to be part of the masses who love it that it becomes impossible to look at it objectively. The narrative reads like the spiraling shape is sort of a side show attraction that word’s gotten around about. It sounds like the sort of thing where you have to go and pay an admission and wait in a line for a while before finally being allowed in to the special little room where you can finally experience the thing that everyone’s been raving about. But will it live up to the hype? Will it mean as much to you as you thought it would? Will you even be able to tell if your feelings for it are genuine or if they’re tainted by the desire to experience it the same way everyone else does? Will you regret getting so worked up about it? If you don’t love it as much as you thought you would, will you have to admit how silly this all is? songmeanings.com surprisingly tries pretty hard get on point, wikipedia zetamind2000 fucked around with this message at 02:46 on Apr 9, 2018 |

Politically Correct Bedtime Stories: Modern Tales for Our Life and Times is a 1994 book written by American writer James Finn Garner, in which Garner satirizes the trend toward political correctness and censorship of children's literature, with an emphasis on humour and parody.[1] The bulk of the book consists of fairy tales such as Little Red Riding Hood, the Three Little Pigs and Snow White, rewritten so that they supposedly represent what a "politically correct" adult would consider a good and moral tale for children. The revisions include extensive usage of politically correct buzzwords (and parodies thereof), deliberately stiff moralizing dialogue and narration, inclusion of modern concepts and objects (such as health spas, mineral water, and automobiles), and often feature a plot twist that reverses the roles of the heroes and villains of the story (for example, the woodsman in Little Red Riding Hood is seen by Red Riding Hood not as a heroic saviour but as a "sexist" and "speciesist" interloper, and Snow White's evil stepmother ends up with a positive portrayal while the prince and the seven dwarves are portrayed as chauvinistic). Politically Correct Bedtime Stories was Garner's first published book (or, in the words of his similarly satirical biography blurb from the book, "his first processed tree carcass"). More than 2.5 million copies have been sold in the United States and it has since been translated into 20 languages. Garner wrote two follow-up books: Once upon a More Enlightened Time: More Politically Correct Bedtime Stories[2] and Politically Correct Holiday Stories: For an Enlightened Yuletide Season,[3] the latter book satirizing political correctness during the Christmas holiday season. In 1998, the three books were compiled into an omnibus collection called Politically Correct, the Ultimate Storybook.[4] All editions of the Politically Correct titles are currently out of print.
