What's funny to me is, replace pet with unexpected child, and you've got a new moral policy for parenthood.

A select few don't decide the rules. A select few are raised above the rules, for some period in time, but the rules are made by us. It'd sad that we're collectively stupid enough to vote against our own interests, but that's humanity! Billions of stupid violent monkeys. Now with machine learning tools to make weapons with!

What should said ants do once they know? Dig a deeper hole, reach for knowledge, both?

If ever there was a man to die..

So you don't know, then?

We need faster interfaces to really make use of it all. It's quickly becoming too much for our meaty input/outputs to handle.

Stop looking up, loser!

Atoms, cells, fundamental testable rules. Other fields have those.

Even if people are "honest" it's too subjective and interdependent on complex and personal dynamics that no one study will capture it properly.

I beg you to give me an example of a consistent, repeatable story that emerges from more than 2 social science studies. So far I just see you have strong opinions and love your job. That's great and all, but doesn't change my mind.

Love this thread, just want to mention my general response to this is other sciences have a fundamental truth in reality that social science currently can't achieve.

Not disagreeing that all science shouldn't get salt, but I stand by saying some, like social science, deserve buckets due to their nature.

There's no foundational truth to it. I'm no expert but most of the studies I've seen use questionable methods. Of particular concern is anything self reported. I don't know how you escape this, beyond what is already done with statistical analysis. I just don't think it's enough to trust it as anything "true".

More like, best guesses from best subjective data we could find, most of the time. Compare that to physics or biology where there's atoms, cells, laws that hold etc. Its just not in the same league, yet people seem to think it is.

Social science studies should be taken with buckets of salt.

Exactly 😎

It 100% can output sheet music in xml format.

Ah you see, it was you treating the economy all along! Nhuh nhuh nhuhhhh!!!

Math isn't always real, you should know better.

Because it's reddit and kids are stupid af. Get ready for stupid "wormholes are real!" Garbage for the next few days.

I 100% agree!! My other home is already fully solar and saving $600/month peak.

My quandary always is that I'm specialized in things not electrical, so I'm at the whim of the market and their prices. That said, I'm going to do what it takes to save another $600/month 😆

When can I buy one? I'm about to install a roof worth of solar but this stuff could probably just use 1 or 2 panels. Worth waiting vs electrical savings now??

Pessimistic agency nihilism: nothing matters, and it's a bad idea to create meaning.

Not a fan of this one personally 😂

Wouldn't that be, no meaning is the meaning? As a double negative.

Fight to the death for what's right! But also, help those who rolled shit starts to life.

I'd also like to know, because I also think the universe would eat us alive the moment we stop growing and suffering.

As a nice side benefit it also gives your personality a sharp edge, just remove the meaning and nothing matters. Off, on, win!

Agency nihilism: nothing matters unless we create meaning.
