well its not the same, staying vague is a tactic
You broaden the meaning, but don't define the outer bounds, so that when you don't give any extra information, a layman will use their own definition to apply at what you're pointing to
"I was waiting for a taxi with Tyrone and the taxi only stopped for *me*"
"I went to a mall with my brown friend and the cashier asked *me* for cash"
i'll summerise that audiobook in 1 image for you Atkins 😛
Have you actually read the book or listened to the audiobook?
Because that's not the the summary at all.
I didn't bother, but its the gist of Post-modernism is "You can't be an authority on something, because i with my experience might have a different take of events, so your view of things can't be the right one"
aka, "I feel like i'm right, therefore you can't say i'm wrong"
aka, like that image
"I can't be WRONG because i have a different viewpoint"
thats the problem with pseudo anarchists
they think authority doesnt exist
it does
if a cop says "this area is a frozen zone"
like they did in NYC
thats total bullshit, they made that up
there is no legal frozen zone
however
when someone is bleeding and a doctor looks at you and says "put pressure on the wound" you say "ok"
postmodernists might as well be flat earthers and anti vaxxers
Post Modernism would've worked if Cognitive bias didn't exist
because the original idea was "well, Science for example keeps changing due to new evidence, so no one can ever be the DEFINITIVE authority on an answer".
Hence we can't discount an idea because the smart guy said he doesn't like it
But people have re-read that as i stated earlier "I see things differently, and since no one can ever be the definitive authority, i feel like my view has merit too, because yours could be just as wrong, hence I get to chose what i believe, and i believe in my things, despite what evidence said because the evidence could turn out to be wrong"
There are infinite ways to interpret the world, but only a couple that keep plains in the air, cure cancer sometimes and keep the lights on
Cause what you believe you act out
Otherwise you just thinking about something
the far left is anti science
i think even bill maher said it
science is dangerous to people that deny that there are biological differences between men and women.
(which in itself is a statement that is even more absurd than what flat earthers are saying)
>There are no differences between men and women
>Gender dysphoria is real
isn't this the video that lindsey shepard got into trouble for?
yea
its set to the point where this very unwell man claims biological sex doesnt exist
It's been a concept ever since the reimer case, actually
It's a bit disturbing that this is popular again after the theory of gender being a spectrum was discredited decades ago.
youll alos notice that the far left says "unpack" all the time
t5ribal language
it's fucking dangerous... "hey doctor, we have to treat this patient with a wound in the lower abdomen" - "man or woman?" - "unicorn" 😒 (or worse: it says "male" but the organs are female)
the only thing you have to unpack is christmas presents
I doubt the far left is going to fall anytime soon
they control a lot of academia
