  • 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.

  • You want real-ass harry potter magic? ADHD/Sperg/Autist is the gateway. I think that this is missing from the alternative. Like you have an itty bitty piece of 3d matter embedded in your 2d, flatland-living, flatland-society self.

  • A kind of politics-flavored smalltalk. Yes, that is the local dialect.

    Believe it or not, I have discussed subjects that matter deeply to me in online forums. But lately it's just fruitless fishing.

    I think we have a thousand mob-squawks posing as niche communities. Different flavors, same conversations.

    Completely open and popular forums are not entirely a good thing.

  • "Should" is arguable. (For example you might be fishing for the few in the crowd) .

    But yes, your choice of topic. That's what I'm talking about. Sometimes it looks pretty narrow.

    And if you do. Well, that carries with it it's own bucket of implications.

  • I am not talking about better communication. If I was then I would have said "use a clearer style of speaking" or something like that.

    I am talking about limiting what you discuss to the popular and easily-digested.
