IRONIC HUMOR

(funny)

Criticizing the use of obscurant language while using obscurant language to insult the other party.

I shouldn’t lower myself to doing this sh_t, but sometimes I cant help myself, because it’s just too much fun. It’s like teasing a cat with a laser. They can’t control themselves….. Endlessly entertaining. The victims of postmodern education. .

The purpose of Postmodern speech is to change the meaning and value of terms in order to create a secular religion of totalitarian humanism.

That you don’t grok this a statement about you, not a statement about the assertion.

It’s not like it’s uncommon knowledge.

I find a religion of humanism to be a problematic construct.

That is not a criticism. πŸ™‚ And you are not a measurement. πŸ™‚ Only your arguments are.

But, then lets look at Denial? The impossibility of material equality? The impossibility of political diversity? The impossibility of equality of ability? Or, my favorite: the evidence that the peer review process is nearly ineffective, and that the requirement for a book length treatment written in operational language appears to be the only empirical test of ideas? How about my favorite: The denial that mathematical platonism is an obscurant means of preserving verbal shortcuts and numerous errors?

Knowledge of facts in a domain, and mastery of a specific discipline can compensate for a lack of intelligence. However, mastery of the art of thought, and the identification of true, utilitarian, and false statements appears to be a matter for experts in that field.

The most important denial is this: the Dunning Kreuger curve. The inability for the incompetent to judge their own ability. πŸ™‚
