The Third Policeman

[Anonymous No.15281937]

The people representing mainstream science are smug status quo-worshipping faggots who want you to put a thousand pills in every child's brain to make them "normal" while also encouraging them to change their gender and mutilate themselves surgically, plus an army of day-jobber women who think that because they read the DSM-V in college and got a B+ average they are qualified to tell you how the mind works, plus a government that systematically lies to its own people and subsidizes industries that poison its own citizens.

Sometimes things are so obviously wrong and bad that all you can do is run in the opposite direction and hope the polar opposite of wrong/bad will eventually be good/correct.

According to my philosophy of science prof all pseudoscience is caused by inductive reasoning and Karl Marx got preemptively BTFO by David Hume.

I'm thinking it's bullshit but now I've read a little about it I'm not sure I can refute him.

There are also "rational" people who don't believe in morality, don't have any real values beyond "science" and who think cutting childrens cocks off and pumping them full of hormones is sane and moral. If I were on trial I'd rather be judged by a Christian who believes in ghosts and bigfoot than be judged by a "RATIONAL SKEPTICAL ENLIGHTENED FEDORA-WEARING ATHEIST"

Yeah man, FUCK all the scientific advances that created the conditions through which we're having this conversation, am I right?

Also, if its true, who the hell is "encouraging" you to change your gender? Did they offer you a coupon or something?

The biggest blackpill there is is that demons exist and that they walk among us, disguised as humans.

[Anonymous No.15282087]

>>15282008
The OP is phrased a bit antagonistically and I considered recommending stuff like Charles Fort or Colin Wilson but figured I would wait to see if discussion developed. My main fear was the possibility that the OP was like you, a low-effort phoneposter. I don't really want to talk to people like that unless it's charity, like this post.

If you aren't OP or OP isn't like you, then I hope a good discussion does develop, and that you eventually learn to use 4chan other than as "social media."

The concept of pseudoscience was invented by a certain circle of a certain philosophic bent that had epistemic grievances with certain methodologies and wanted a buzzword/ad hominem to pass on those different methdologies. The best example concerns psychoanalysis and marxism. Both of these are rooted in 19th century modes of scientific thinking and pedadology. The same kind of thinking that gave us all kinds of advancements in the natural sciences and other disciplines. They are rightfully scientific, even if not experimental. The goalpost shifting of what qualifies as "science" was an idealogical move.

The OP wasn't phrased "antagonistically", you are simply incapable of translating neutral statements without a heavy ideological filter. Admit it, you skim read the OP, saw "pseudoscience" and decided you were gonna have a good ol' vent. literally half of it was just inane anecdotal rambling about "day-jobber" women. What the fuck does that have to do with pseduosciences?

>>15282099
Not a tranny but seriously, I want to know who is "encouraging" to cut your dick off, as opposed to merely "accommodating" the bizarre habit. Do you get a 2 for 1 deal on each testicle?

Do you want it produced by the 'accredited' psychology industry, 80% of whose graduates are women, which currently has a humiliating study replication crisis because its epistemology is bankrupt? Or do you want it produced by the APA that said it's 'scientifically proven' that video games cause violence in the mid-90s, the same APA that says it's 'scientifically proven' that trannies are a real thing, while idiot whore psychologist prescribe brain-altering chemicals to children and suicidal, deluded gay men?

You just can't help but let all your ressentiment spill out everywhere, can you? All I'm doing is pointing out the hypocrisy in denouncing mainstream scientific opinion for being pseudoscientific, but then you're openly making sweeping claims like "all women are X" without the slightest bit of evidence to demonstrate it. Pull your head out of your ass.

That pic reeks of the academic midwit who will readily condescend the irrational beliefs of bronze souls but will never seriously examine their own preconceived notions of society. He will criticize the voting power and ability to drive of the UFO believer (someone who likely doesn't have much real control over society) but what about the class of actual money and power in the world? As if they don't have their own dogmatic convictions.

Of course not, there's a little bit of bicycle in all of us. I do think however some of the ideas are really interesting critiques of the weird and wonderful developments of modernity, almost always slightly off the mark, but can still tell us something about the society at the time. The idea we sleep at night is because we're all suffocating on the "darkness" of industrial pollution is a great example

Absolutely. The novel ideas presented strike the perfect balance between ludicrous and thought provoking, the bit about houses being necessary evils I found particularly charming. That the worsening of the human race can be ascribed to their liking of interiors, and no longer going outside and staying there, is a critique of industrial society that could fit quite easily in Kaczynski's manifesto.
