    Holy shit:

He works primarily on formal social epistemology, particularly the social epistemology of science

        But my baby-brained understanding of “utilitarianism” says communism is good, yet I don’t think Mr London School of Imperialism Apologia agrees with it.

        Yes, indeed. But saying you know shit about epistemology and then masterfully show how shit you are at it makes me wonder why even say you are good at epistemology specifically to begin with.

        Why not just: “Yeah I do the philosophies and let me tell you bombing the third world if anglo pigs don’t get enough treats is good and ethical and very philosophy”

                I don’t work at the philosophy factory tho.

                  I’ve read them (Hayek is better tbh) and I’ve even had the sobering experience of reading Rand (“Imagine a person who fled the USSR before they could make them fully literate try and explain Nietzsche as explained by half understood letters from his Nazi Sister”)

                  They’re possibly useful in triggering deeper thought though.

                    Am not reading “let poor people die” apologia. I don’t want to “debate” what must be silenced with rifles.

                    They are all court jesters of pedophile lizards, usually pedophiles themselves, or just insufferable chinless white nerds at best.
