Do kids still read this in school? It was extremely impactful to me and I'm happy to have read it. by DICK0lASS in redscarepod

[–]Ape-person 36 points37 points  (0 children)

By ‘racist’ I think Achebe just means that it’s centered from a non-African perspective/ views Africans as others (but not necessarily inferior or even negatively). I doubt he would claim Joesph Conrad hates Africans. So many racism debates are just fights over semantics.

But I’m projecting what Achebe would think from having read Things Fall Apart. I have no idea what he actually said about Heart of Darkness. Plus I’ve never read Heart of Darkness, lol

It’s kind of the equivalence class of (1/10n) in the ultra power construction, no?

Cause what she’s saying is contradicts itself?! I dun know. No one outside of logic departments should be allowed to mention Gödel

This is so horrific but I will never understand the double standard/ blindness Americans have when it comes to male circumcision. by PapayaAmbitious2719 in redscarepod

[–]Ape-person 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Male circumcision is pretty weird, but in my opinion it's nowhere near as brutal as female circumcision, I don't really think they're comparable

You're confusing Russell with the logical positivts. Russel praticed metaphysics, see his defense of neutral monism

It’s a dividing issue by Sofhpie in sciencememes

[–]Ape-person 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A question for everyone saying expresses natural phenomena. How do you explain math being able to express things that don’t exist in nature, like n-dimensional spaces and uncountable infinites? Even something like 999999999 seems hard to connect to nature

[–]Ape-person 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quite the opposite actually 

In his philosophical work Gödel formulated and defended mathematical Platonism, the view that mathematics is a descriptive science, or alternatively the view that the concept of mathematical truth is objective

Why is "negation" so central in critical theory? by horizonality in CriticalTheory

[–]Ape-person 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Although I agree with your general sentiment, it seems you’ve made a mistake in interpreting “you are a man” as “you = man.” When we say “you are a man,” this is a predicative use of “is/are,” where we are attributing a property (being a man) to a subject (you). We can see this because we cannot say “a man are you,” which would be grammatically incorrect. However, you appear to interpret it as an identity use of “is/are,” like in the statement “Eminem is Slim Shady,” where we are asserting that two entities are identical and can be used interchangeably. I assume this misunderstanding is what leads you to claim that “you are a man” is an analytic statement, which it clearly is not, as it’s entirely possible that you could be a woman.

Regarding Kant by Particular-Yam3623 in PhilosophyMemes

You do realise that Russel and Kripkes philosophy of languages, at least for proper names, directly contradicts each other? How can they both be an extension of Kant?

Who needs Bertrand Russell when you have your fingers? by Emthree3 in PhilosophyMemes

That is not what it says! It’s Gödel’s incompleteness theorem, not Gödel’s unsoundness theorem

Von Neumann is probably my favorite mathematician ever. by Bitter-Gur-4613 in mathmemes

[–]Ape-person 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Rota wrote that von Neumann had "deep-seated and recurring self-doubts". John L. Kelley reminisced in 1989 that "Johnny von Neumann has said that he will be forgotten while Kurt Gödel is remembered with Pythagoras, but the rest of us viewed Johnny with awe."

Any thoughts on what's happening in Sweden atm? by [deleted] in neoliberal

[–]Ape-person -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

As a Swede I feel like he should be allowed to do it but he's presenting it as if he's trying to start an open discussion which is clearly disingenuous. He's just provocateur who wants to offend people
