This guy seems to think everyone on the left is antifa. Which Trump supporters also do, coincidentally.

Plutonis posted:My hot take: last year, starting with Bernie, a group of young white heterosexual malcontents decided that a party focused on women and minorities should change itself to accommodate them. (Whom do you think "economic issues" benefit most?) They've been taught from birth that they should control everything and everything should be about them, so why not the Democratic Party? The diehard Hillary people genuinely believe this.

Wasn't it an accident and they thought she was a Zionist?

I agree with the guy that slavery would have ended on its own but I might be biased since I don't think the US should ever have attacked the Confederacy in the first place.

Minty posted:this one is correct though? Science is a process for building models that reflect our perceptions of reality. It isn't capital-T Truth The results of science doesn't need to reflect our preexisting perceptions of reality, that's the whole point. Science is a process to seek truth, and out of all such processes it's the most likely to give us literal truths.

Hodgepodge posted:this process is predicated on understanding that science does not create knowledge, but is rather a method by which we test assumptions for errors Exactly. I didn't say that preexisting perceptions had to be unscientifically created. Nor did I mean to imply that the results of the scientific process are to be set in stone as the one truth forever. Hypotheses are by definition falsifiable, and experiments repeatable, for a reason. Also since we're getting philosophical here, I should specify that when I said "literal truth" I mean practical truth as opposed to absolute truth, i.e. it's useful to us as humans but we can't be 100% certain of it in a philosophical sense.

Minty posted:Science literally can not seek "Truth", as you already pointed out yourself. It merely creates models, which must be able to make predictions. If those models do not make predictions that align with our actual observations, then we (hopefully) form new models that do. Those observations, whether direct or indirect, are absolutely governed by our current perceptions. And those models, no matter how accurate or precise, are not reality. C'est n'est pas une pipe and all. I guess you and I were using the word "perception" differently. But for practical purposes, if a model can be explained by a process, and that process is something that exists in physical reality (which we have know way to really know yadda yadda yadda) then science has found a truth at least in the colloquial sense. And of all our methods of inquiry it's the best at doing that. That's all I'm saying. I think a few folks (or maybe just Modest Mao) have a chip on their shoulder and want to assume because I defended science I'm a positivist, or I think science is God, or at the very least I loving Love It, but no. I just think it's useful.

Minty posted:I'm just going to say you are confusing symbols with what they represent, and should probably read more on epistemology, especially in regards to representationalism and realism I understand that c'est n'est pas une pipe. But colloquially an accurate representation can be "truth." I don't think you and I even disagree, there's just definition confusion. Minty posted:eta: no one is "attacking" science here; I've been trained as a physicist myself. I don't get where you think you are "defending" it Chill. I misunderstood what you meant by "perceptions" and wanted to clear up what I thought you mean by the relationship between science and truth. I'm not trying to paint you as anti-science.
