It's fun to see their reactions when a respectable study shows the opposite, like the UK study that working class white boys are the worst performing in education at age 16. It's never to look at the performance of upper-middle class white boys and consider an economic factor, and it's definitely never to pull the same poo poo as they would were it girls or the 'race realism' if it were any other ethnic group and claim that there was some biological or genetic factor in the bad performance of white males. Nope, this time around it's definitely the feminist anti-white reverse racist Cultural Marxists who are to blame. But just this time.

Those people absolutely should be debated, and it shouldn't need to be other academics doing so, although someone like Winters who knows far more about the biases claimed by standpoint theory and their implications might be better placed to do so than I.

Al-Saqr posted:holy poo poo I love his exquisite editing and the fact that he took a kid making an interesting point in a college room discussion but instead go " LOOK AT HOW EVIL CAPE TOWN UNIVERSITY US SDAjS:ALjdas;". There's a lot that can be said about finding ways to improve scientific epistemology, and strong philosophical arguments that increasing diversity actually increases objectivity as inherent biases are allowed to play against each other, and that's a worthwhile discussion for philosophy of science. There's also the way that science is presented as some uniquely European endeavor with the contributions of the Levant, Mesopotamia, and India often severely undervalued, and that's a worthwhile discussion for history of science. There's also the issue of what the end goal of science should be, where the funding comes from, and how that knowledge is used, and that's a worthwhile discussion for ethics of science. When it comes to the science itself though, people have to do a lot of work with the best current models, testing and straining and improving upon them. Any attempt to disregard the underlying epistemological methods entirely can lead to dangerous things like total solipsism or climate change denial or stupid poo poo like What the Bleep Do We Know!?

business hammocks posted:Sex is often shorthand for community, intimacy, mutual happiness and anything opposed to isolation and unhealthy obsession. The idea is that if nobody wants to be around you, you're doing something wrong. Sex is the lowest intimacy bar to cross. I wonder if there's a point where incel/wizard communities transcend being built on bitterness about women and become something like that. I guess they'd have to become for something rather than just against things.

rkajdi posted:That is different. Any reason why those degrees are as laser-focused? Sounds like the STEM barbarians over there would be worse than what we get over her, which is almost mind-shattering. Apparently there are a number of British universities offering major/minor degrees now, but they seem to be the 'less serious' option compared to single honours degrees where you have one subject and some optional tangential modules like 'ethics and epistemology in science' or 'media law for artists'. A lot of the more traditional optional modules for academic subjects ware almost trade/vocational in nature, like 'glassblowing for chemists', although that's probably been replaced with more managerial style optionals or 'annoying the supply store when you break something for chemists'. It seems like a continuous winnowing process, where you do a wide spectrum of GCSEs (always at least English and Maths, without those is considered high school dropout equivalent, plus at least some humanities, arts, and/or sciences), if you then stay on to do A-levels you'd do three or four (or 5 I think, idk how the new system works) at more like AP/early college level, so the focusing down starts early. I'm not sure why it is like it is, but every time someone proposes a major shakeup it's usually terrible (hi Michael Gove, who surprisingly did English and not PPE). Engineers usually just become boilerplate conservatives or leftists, I don't think the techbro culture that creates "why not replace the government with technology!" exists as much in the UK outside of Bitcoin conferences. There is a certain type of scientist that gets given a podium and proceeds to be terrible, like Dawkins or Watson, but I think that's more "old white guy gets audience" than anything else.

OwlFancier posted:Ehhhhh, I dunno about that. Fascism has not historically been especially socialist. There was socialist rhetoric employed in the early days of the Nazis but they didn't actually act on it, eventually it just became plain old autocracy. If they'd won instead of the Hitler faction then Nazi Germany would have been a very different place in terms of economics and militarism, but they'd still have the 'National Rebirth' which would not work out well if you were gay or Jewish or made 'degenerate art'. It would have probably ended up more like the Arab Socialist Ba'ath states or how some of the African Popular Socialist states ended up. And I think that's the key thing to bear in mind, you can be a socialist economically and still be a complete dick.

OwlFancier posted:Oh aye you can have autocratic dickhead socialism and the Nazis could have gone economically left but it's still hard to understand what is meant when people use nazi, national socialist, and socialist kind of interchangeably because they mean a lot of different things.  " that it almost seems like baiting to acknowledge it.But discussing in good faith you can argue that there was real Socialism in the early Nazi party, at least as real as within Scandinavian Socialism and the British Labour movement and the Farmer-Labor movement, without that implying that either socialism is bad or being a Nazi apologist. Unfortunately there's no shortage of people doing either, which muddies the debate.

Tories were certain they'd win a big majority. The country were certain they'd win a big majority. Britain's awful garbage press is always on their side. Corbyn was a terrorist loving pacifist anarchist communist stalinist antisemite according to all but two newspapers and half his own party. When Tories think they can't lose, the mask slips. When they're scared, it's "the party of real choice" and "we need to present a positive future for Britain". When they're not, it's "gently caress the brain damaged olds, gently caress foxes, gently caress the internet, gently caress your human rights."

rkajdi posted:I thought Corbyn's wing of the party had an anti-semitism problem, or there was at least discussed to have one in the press. Not super-surprising, since populists all over the West seem to be cut from a common cloth. But I'm also always skeptical of anybody who rails against "elites" (i.e. anyone with post-HS education), because it's impossible to understate how dumb and awful the common man in the West is. Outside of that it's mostly I-P stuff, not alt-right 'edgy' gas the Jews stuff. quote:So I guess they really like the GOP. I usually gave European mainstream politics a bit of an overall leftward vibe, meaning your conservatives tend to be less right than ours. About the only one of these positions the GOP wouldn't be for is fox hunting, and that's only because I don't think they understand what it involves.

rkajdi posted:Yeah, but the existing system works. Handing it over to the white chuds of populism (half of which are represented by the YouTube morons we mock here) has a pretty well-beaten track record of loving the economy up for everyone. If you're going to argue for some actual working social democracy (not the kind that puts whites or natives ahead) I'd be 100% behind it, but that doesn't seem to be the kind of thing that is supported by any of the populist movements I'm seeing. Sorry, you don't get to have sympathy in creating a new group of untested winners just because you were (rightly) found to not be all that useful. Does that mean giving in to their wishes and creating whatever kind of bad throwback system they want while still loving over other people? No. It does mean recognizing that a system that creates angry directionless people is a failed system though. quote:Also glad to see you've fallen for the standard Zizek line of "packaging rightwing messages for the leftist", BTW. I never heard a drat thing out of his mouth that wasn't just standard social conservatism reworded to be eaten up by leftists.
