that works; i still think the internet is making people's lives worse not better

and driving us towards a civil conflict in the US

cringe @matroyshka

is it cringe tho or am i spitting straight truths

into the mic

wisdom is UNDERSTNANDING why the tomato doesn't belong in the salad

jesus christ

not just the knowledge that it doesn't belong without any clue as to the reason

okay that's a more exact way of phrasing it sure

there is a major difference

I wish for a nuclear winter.

me too

a little bit

Comprehension is realizing that all fruits are also vegetables

it's easy to 'know'; it's hard to 'understand'

comprehension isn't understanding though

UHM ACTUALLY AS A BOTANIST @Hexidecimark YOU NEED TO STOP MANSPLAINING

it's just assimilation of a knowledge base

i noticed that first with millenials

i''d review a book i read with a milenial who read the book and ask about what they thought the author was trying to say with a particular passage

and it was like talking with a person who has auspergers

ass burgers

they could only recall the most superficial of details

but no depth

i feel compelled to point out that realism, objectivity, empiricism, and a belief in reason as a path to truth are all aspects of modernism, which many human beings do not actually adhere to

this is true

we have large swaths of the public who are either pre-modernist or post-modernist.

objectivity and subjectivity are qualifiers of perception

truth lies outside perception

what even *is* post modernism? is just....a blank void of nothingness and death ultimately

and is asymptotic

some people legitimately believe that truth is socially constructed

well, it's the perception of that truth which is construct of consensus

in a way, all of science is also a function of that same type of consensus

truth is *observed* subjectively

i make an observation. you make an observation. we keep what is commom to all observations

truth itself is objective, however

no, read that again

I didnt read ur stuff

the truth HAS no perception
