Oh, man, I did a final essay on how sampling takes the lines between roles and just screws them up.
Anaconda's still using the same cheesy 80s techno song theme that that one black techno guy came up with. Do we still put his name in the credits? Do we just forget he existed?

I'm bored and don't know whatta do
Also I destroyed a pair of headphones, so I'll have to replace those I guess
i like math and i'm frequently concerned with my variously broken mind and accompanying lack of empathy and yesterday i skimmed this thread and there was something about not liking mathemes making me a nazi so now i am concerned about that also

Math nerds do not like math, we have been over this.
look, please understand me here, and i'm not talking about math nerds i'm talking about how i feel about stuff
when i was at uni, my only experience of philosophy, outside of lesswrong and rottweiler which don't count, came during my lit theory module and subsequent modules that built on that
the philosophers we had to read for that were mostly continentals of some type or other, and my initial feeling was one of complete panic and confusion, which gradually developed into a grudging respect and in some cases genuine interest, although the course moved quite fast and there were some major thinkers (notably Lacan and Zizek) that i never really got to grips with
Intellectual Impostures includes some stuff that is simply pedantic, some stuff that is a legitimate criticism, some stuff that is just whining over a metaphor they don't like, and some stuff that shows massive philosophical misunderstanding on the part of Sokal and Bricmont; it's a real mixture because the authors aren't at all sympathetic towards the people they're writing about and don't understand where they're coming from
but if it had been the context of my first encounter with the thinkers in question, well, i think i probably would have dismissed the whole discipline as bunk and seen no reason to investigate further
i'd have been wrong to do so but i'm pretty certain it's what i'd have done
and i'm not a nazi and i do at least try to be empathic, perhaps with mixed or even very little success

I told him why Sokal was bullshit, and he went and bought into that garbage anyway, because fuck me right, I don't think physicists are a better class of human beings, so fuck me.
Like, every time you push back on this it's like "Well maybe he did some wrong stuff, but a humanities major was snobby to me once in College, so yay Sokal" and I'm supposed to accept that as a good reason?????
I don't mind when people are mislead. I mind when they're unwilling to be corrected because they want to get back at some anonymous asshole they haven't seen in five years.

i didn't realize you'd already told him Sokal was BS. Sorry about that, that does give your remarks more context.
i think he was struggling with ideas that he didn't understand; he admitted to wondering what it was like to see the other side of the debate, which is at least an awareness that he's taking a side and doesn't fully understand the disagreement
i don't see what any of this has to do with 'a better class of human beings', that's not a thing

well yeah that's idiotic
but people are sometimes very petty
You'll notice at no point here have i been saying that 'Math Nerds' are good and right about everything
In all my years, I have never seen anyone step out and say "Scientists have a lesser place in society". Not in class, not in papers, not from other students.
What I have seen is people getting really angry at the suggesting that their science degree does not entitle them to claim expertise in all things forever.
Nobody likes having their pet discipline insulted.
this holds for STEM as it does in the arts and humanities
People act like this shit has two sides, but it has one side, which is STEM nerds never ever ever getting over someone possibly maybe insulting them once.

Look, i got carried away yesterday, i'm sorry. i think we're both in agreement that nostalgebraist isn't a nazi, anyway.
still gotta be better than the time they took away his mouth, anyway
it's the Syndrome gambit
this was an offensive assertion i guess? but i think it's true and i'm worried that you're losing perspective here
it's nothing about 'proper masters' or whatthefuckever

okay, now i'm going to continue to pronounce "bury" as "burry" and stop giving a damn about what you think.
is that really so wrong

And I was supposed to just accept that as fact.
