That criticism of science is actually a thing and it poses some big, earth moving questions if you ask me.
Here is a simple wiki article (lol):
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_scienceI'm curious if you all have any thoughts, or know more and want to share.
No. 864501
>>864499Excerpts I found interesting:
>Historian Jacques Barzun termed science "a faith as fanatical as any in history" and warned against the use of scientific thought to suppress considerations of meaning as integral to human existence.[4]>Alan Watts criticized science for operating under a materialist model of the world that he posited is simply a modified version of the Abrahamic worldview, that "the universe is constructed and maintained by a Lawmaker" (commonly identified as God or the Logos). Watts asserts that during the rise of secularism through the 18th to 20th century when scientific philosophers got rid of the notion of a lawmaker they kept the notion of law, and that the idea that the world is a material machine run by law is a presumption just as unscientific as religious doctrines that affirm it is a material machine made and run by a lawmaker.[7]
>Some scientists and philosophers suggest that scientific theories are more or less shaped by the dominant political, economic, or cultural models of the time, even though the scientific community may claim to be exempt from social influences and historical conditions.[41][42] For example, Zoologist Peter Kropotkin thought that the Darwinian theory of evolution overstressed a painful "we must struggle to survive" way of life, which he said was influenced by capitalism and the struggling lifestyles people lived within it.[9][43] Karl Marx also thought that science was largely driven by and used as capital.[44]>Robert Anton Wilson, Stanley Aronowitz, and Paul Feyerabend all thought that the military-industrial complex, large corporations, and the grants that came from them had an immense influence over the research and even results of scientific experiments.[1][45][46][47] Aronowitz even went as far as to say "It does not matter that the scientific community ritualistically denies its alliance with economic/industrial and military power. The evidence is overwhelming that such is the case. Thus, every major power has a national science policy; the United States Military appropriates billions each year for 'basic' as well as 'applied' research".[47] No. 873832

Some bee myths I would like to dispell. Bees do not live in a monarch. Their society is closer to communism. Worker bees do not live for their queen, they live for the survival of the colony. Queen bees are not born, but created. An ordinary larvae can be turned into a queen bee with a special diet. Usually one male bee is created and discarded after reproduction, but aside from him, all bees are female. (Not to sperg, but isn't funny how the mainstream always pushes for male bees, male ants, male wasps, and the list goes on as the norm? It is like they cannot accept an all female society to exist without the males being in charge). Worker bees can choose to get rid of the queen bee whenever they choose to. Either she is too old, is defective, or isn't doing her job, worker bees have nearly all the power. Aside from humans and habitat loss, wasps are a huge threat to bees. Wasps steal honey, eat bee larvae, destroy property, and kill bees. The way bees deal with wasps is by huddling all over one until the heat burns the wasp to death. Wasps are another all female society, but are more aggressive than bees. They are basically pirates. The male, or the drone, has no stinger and can only reproduce with the queen. Unlike bees, wasps can remember faces. They can recognize other wasp members this way rather than using some other primal way of recognition. Whenever you kill a wasp, a chemical subtance is released that can notify other wasps in the area that she has been killed. Now remember next time you swat at a wasp. She knows your face bitch. You're next.

Today I learned that some people feel very, very passionately about rock cairns and despise them. I understand not disturbing trail markers or confusing people if it's that type of system, but I came across a whole thread of people seething at the very existence of them for "disturbing the environment and causing erosion" and possibly hurting animals? I never thought it was such a big deal to people. It's like how I thought grave rubbing was just a cute hobby and apparently it makes people seethe since it can damage the graves or something?

tourists had built a cairn.

TIL that chordates can possess spiracles too. I was looking at a resting nurse shark at an aquarium and asked if this species used ram ventilation like other sharks, and was told that all sharks possess ram ventilation, however, they are able to rest due to them possessing spiracles along the body that can directly take in oxygen while they rest or feed. Very interesting. Pic related; the spiracles are just visible as tiny light spots along the shark's body.

There are octopus cities called Octopolis and Octolantis. Sorry for the incoming long post, I find this interesting.
>Octopolis and Octlantis are two separate non-human underwater settlements built by the gloomy octopuses in Jervis Bay, east Australia. The first settlement, named Octopolis by biologists, was found in 2009. The individual structures in Octopolis consist of burrows around a piece of scrap metal. In 2016, a second settlement was found, named Octlantis, observed over eight days to have ten to fifteen octopuses.[2] Instead of burrows, Octlantis has dens and is built with seashells.
>Marine biologists once thought they inhabited the subtropical waters off eastern Australia and northern New Zealand in solitude, meeting only to mate, once a year. But now there’s proof these cephalopods sometimes hang out in small cities. 15 gloomy octopuses congregating, communicating, dwelling together, and even evicting each other from dens at a site the scientists named “Octlantis.
>The discovery was a surprise, Scheel told Quartz. “These behaviors are the product of natural selection, and may be remarkably similar to vertebrate complex social behavior. This suggests that when the right conditions occur, evolution may produce very similar outcomes in diverse groups of organisms.”At least one other gloomy octopus site was found recently, though; it was discovered in 2009, not far away in Jervis Bay, and named Octopolis. At that time it was considered a total anomaly. Researchers believed that the cephalopods gathered there because an unidentifiable human object happened to have formed a central point that the cephalopods surrounded with dens. The unknown artifact was a single object about 30 cm long, heavily encrusted, possibly made of metal. The site has been observed for seven years now, and at any given time, there are somewhere between two and 16 octopuses there. In Octlantis, however, there is no similarly mystifying human object to explain the gloomy octopus congregation.
>The likely explanation, said Stephanie Chancellor, is that in both Octopolis and Octlantis there were several seafloor rock outcroppings dotting otherwise flat and featureless areas. “In addition to the rock outcroppings, octopuses who had been inhabiting the area had built up piles of shells left over from creatures they ate, most notably clams and scallops. These shell piles, or middens, were further sculpted to create dens, making these octopuses true environmental engineers,” she said.
>Like any urban environment, Otocopolis and Octlantis can be tough places to live. Citizens must be scrappy. The company and food are abundant but all the activity in the cities also attracts predators, including sharks. There's also a lot of aggression apparently, although the researchers can’t yet explain why. Gloomy octopus males seem to spend a great deal of time chasing each other out of dens. Scheel is hesitant to speculate about what exactly this behavior means. “We are still studying this,” he said.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octopolis_and_Octlantishttps://qz.com/1077632/octlantis-is-a-just-discovered-underwater-city-engineered-by-octopuses No. 1590382

Not even sure if this is the correct thread but whatever, I just had an ephiphany about troons!
I just realised, that despite claiming to be "so feminine" and "totes women", there are a whole bunch of womanly hobbies that MTF troons never seem to engage in. For example, they never:
-participate in "snark" (dedicated influencer/celeb gossip) subreddits
-watch either reality tv (real housewives, kuwtk, etc), soap operas & telenovelas (days of our lives, coronation street, etc) or teen-girl shows (riverdale, gossip girl, zoey 101, etc)
-self harm by cutting themselves
-use pinterest to make aesthetic moodboards
-play online games like neopets, stardoll, dolldivine/dress up games
-look at thinspo out of aspiration, jealousy, comparison or any reason other than coom
-develop an eating disorder in general, and participate in the ed/recovery communities
-become a munchie and participate in the online "illness community"
-fangirl over boybands/male youtubers (how many mtfs were fans of 1D/JB as teenagers, or are fans of Dream/Corpse Husband/Sykkuno, etc today?)
-participate in fandoms in general (especially "shipping")
-become f*joshis
-participate in astrology, manifestation, or "affirmations"
-create aesthetic study/positivity/work blogs and IG pages
-read young adult (or romance/slice of life) fiction
-draw vent art, have a vent blog, or a diary
-the whole "I <3 fall, pumpkin spice latte" aesthetic thing
to name a few examples.
Not every woman does, or has done, the things listed above, but all of those are done almost entirely, overwhelmingly, by women. I can count on one hand the amount of men I've seen doing any of these, and ironically most of the "men" I see doing those things (at least online) are FTM. I genuinely have never seen a troon, especially an AGP troon, participating in any of these. Holy shit my mind is blown, trans"women" really aren't women, they aren't even girly. I feel enlightened.

Today I learned that you can get a condom stuck in you without noticing until he pulls out.
Me and my husband recently switched to condoms after years of trying for a baby then having a baby (we want another just not yet) and only use condoms when I'm nearing ovulation. We use lube when we do because it goes in easier. I was apparently making some pained faces because he kept stopping to ask if I was alright. I figured what I felt was him hitting my cervix and swapped to me on top but it might have been the slight burning sensation of a condom being stuck in there or when I came ontop his dick shrunk while the condom squeezed off. My husband had to reach in to take the condom out and it gave me fucking 'nam flashbacks to the doctors having to check my cervic during labor contractions.
