When both sides are full of professional liars, that won’t work.

We might have to settle for not knowing.

If we could do emotional memory transfer then we wouldn’t need movies anymore.

Movies are an indirect way of evoking emotions.

First, people love to burn witches. Screw any moral, logical or aesthetic implications. They can’t even spell it. They just want a witch to burn.

Second, people love to cut down anybody taller then them. And Neil Gaiman is a very tall fellow.

All that love, it’s inevitable.

Yeah but it isn’t the key central focus of the deal anymore then. It’s just a convenient accessory.

We can still observe and discuss methods for making observations.

Yes. Hypotheses. Ideas.

But the point of the scientific method is to get us high-quality ideas. How would that cure the derangement of an idea-centered perspective?.

Maybe if you removed the model-making part. Leave the primacy of observation and the utility of peer-review. Maybe.

There is also the assumption of the central importance of ideas, which is a rather deranged perspective when you think about it.

Don’t get me wrong, ideas have high utility, for memory and language and such, but still.

An idea is just a little thing, and any association between it and the rest of reality is purely contrived.

Well it’s always nice to get an unbiased opinion

To be fair, the pro-work propaganda is directed at the middle of the bell curve. That guy in the middle has bespoke mindfuck beamed into his brain 24-7, but the guys on the ends are well out of the line of fire.

Maybe it’s a staged event. The latest consensus-splitter / distraction.

Look how it has split us. Reddit deleting posts. Unironic discussion of guillotines.
