Let me know if you want a Skinnerian behavior analytic fundamentalist philosophy of science interpretation ha ha ha I’m just joking. Nobody does that.

Hot take- we can have a true ontological knowledge, but it needs to be couched under the lens of human behavior as a possible confound at multiple levels.

Coddling anti-intellectualism is reinforcing behavior that decreases the survival value of all humans and is thus amoral, prove me wrong!

In the end, I think value aware choices are what you should do and not hold back from your subjectivity as that leads to a better objectivity for you

I disagree on the grounds that intelligence is a non-parametric force of nature that will emerge as a counter to the anti-intellectual and necessarily anti-populous position that will fail in the end. Maybe I’m Voltaire’s Candide, but that’s the best I can do rn for a set of practical values.

Absolutely as religious systems currently have the best control of social behavior that leads democracy, but I have to pause that ontological intellectual systems may have the best chance of lifting us out of our human problems because of a common struggle against the harsh rules of nature.

I’m in a weird position because behavior analysis is considered a soft social science by most, but ultimately is a hard science of physiology of our behavior that deposits some very weird and unconventional facts about human self, locus of consciousness, and free will that are functional, but “raw”

All fascists and those who spurn intellectual power are very scared and insecure about what can happen to them if people with the actual skills and intelligence apply that power over them.

I’m sorry that was my heartfelt way of agreeing with you that while fascist may have better tools they don’t have better people which are in the end the people who operate the tools :-)

It’s like having a disconnect between your behavior and your values leads to disillusionment and frustration. What an emotional roller coaster it must be to have such disconnected behaviors to your values, I would pause it, but those people are definitely mentally unstable.

If we unlimitedly promote certain systems now it’s possible we could be eliminated physically as humans, but then again if we are low-country -of-the-mind and don’t reject any modern technologies of behavior changes in philosophy, we may very well just stagnate forever until we die off.

Contradictory, all philosophical questions are about highest order of abstract values and direct practical actions and behaviors you can take.

It’s nihilism and the promotion of wealth as a value onto itself, as when your wealth alienates you from other people socially and ontological truth, intellectually, in the end, you will either be like shakers and die off, kill us all in the glorious fire of their exhibition of power, or be beaten.

Absolutely that’s why I feel radical behaviorism as per BF Skinner is the best fundamental lens to view science as science is done by scientists, who engage in behavior we label a scientific because it means certain criteria that have more survival value than other systems.

In the end, it’s Pol Pot 2.0: anti-intellectualism at its best practice right now, how dare those assholes challenge that God concepts of those who have economic authoritative power right now?

However, if that doesn’t lineup with ontology that determines evolutionary fitness y’all die, your values are done. So the paradox is aligning what seems like desperate personal values to survive with a big picture of values that give you the motivation to keep surviving even if it’s tough.

For beings with the power to be compassionate is, it is an ultimate value to promote the values and genetics of creatures like you going forward, leading to the reinforcement that you can conceptually live on after death so to speak.

The most human thing, the need for philosophical continuation and evolution of values that allows for conceptual immortality, beyond your scale of power or individual personhood and life, can’t physically exist without helping children out of oppression.

That’s my bag, nuanced, realism, values humor as an intellectual value that is pretty much always appropriate unless it hurts somebody so much they become a Nazi. Message me directly for more nonsense like this :-)

If you have a conceptually, systematic set of values and then this is really easy. The hard part is having a conceptually systematic set of values that honors ontology that has been exposed through human behavior that has been shaped by the strongest ontological contingencies.
