this pisses me off

they are wasting millions on these algorythims

Today we cover Why We Shouldnt use racist symbols in our society aka How to hand power in your society over to racists 101

Ban the racists. Especially the whites who are the most racist

In other news today, universities started burning statistics books after learning that race realists rely heavily on statistics

An anonymous university official said "The students have spoken and made some very convincing points. Theres no reason we should allow racism to dominate the sciences and we are working on purging it to create a more progressive inclusive scientific method".

We need to destroy Newton's *Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica*

Because you know who else believed in gravity? Hitler

So...we can't have that

You don't have to abolish statistics. You just have to "decolonize" and "de-essentialize" it. Once the inherent whiteness has been eliminated it can be used for socially constructive purposes. Or something like that.

Of course

But obviously the old books must be burned

Cant have racist literature floating around

Recycled. Burning releases harmful carbon dioxide.

De-colonize science because science can't explain why this voodoo shaman claims he can shoot lightning from his staff

Checkmate atheists

Sorry... "from *xir's* staff". Let's not be assuming anyone's gender

With a sufficiently post-modernist world view maybe xe can shoot lighting from xir staff.

If everything is socially constructed, and everyone believes that lightning is coming out of the staff, then who can say it isn't?

What even is lightning?

This is an example of socially constructed reality.

For most of human history this is how we functioned in the world.

Stop eating monkeys

@Atkins how do you know that's not real? Are you a doctor/shaman?

I'd like to see your credentials, xir

Decolonize your understanding of science

The very beginnings of post-modernism were the attempts of the devout Christians to slow or halt the advance of modernity and rationality.

I don't know if that would be considered postmodernism or a form of very old religious conservatism

Clearly they did not anticipate what their philosophy would become.

The Christian revivals and shakers would be pre-modern.

I don't know much about philosophy so I don't know about the path this kind of reasoning took

Yeah, I've seen that

But couldn't you argue that modernism also paved the way for post-modernism?

Yes, post-modernism is a direct response to modernism and its failings. Modernism cannot answer the hard problem of consciousness, and cannot answer questions about how you should live your life.

If we're to believe JBP, ancient texts and myths give us a path to how to live our lives

Maybe science just hasn't cracked the problem of how to explain consciousness *yet*

JBP is trying to do something that needs to be done but he's out of his depth. Everyone is.
