Is it stuck in your head? :P
It's not that catchy. I do love whenever people put absurd lyrics overtop of whatever the current pop-synth sound is. It shows you just how stupid most pop songs are. People always manage to take pop songs seriously, and I can't help but wonder why.
Who took this seriously?
Who could? Yet somehow people take the "cups" song seriously (or is that only little girls?)
Wait, you're hating on Cups?
Its a cute trick and well executed

You're like some new breed of hipster.
THERE IS SOCIAL COMMENTARY IN EVERYTHING
You can't escape society, my dear positivist.
shadows posting is a social commentary

Are you an interpretivist?

No, no, firetooth, you are doing it wrong. The new age hipster thing is to assume you know what sort of philosophies others adhere to based on things they say on the internet.
You're supposed to just call him an interpretivist. It doesn't matter if you're right, the important thing is that you labelled him.
Nerd.
Oh and apparently this is a song about foxes for and by furries or something... God help us all.

He's right, you know. It can be proved objectively.

You've set up this enormous straw man labelled science in your head and you keep proudly bashing it, but nothing about it is related to what people here actually claim. If you had bothered to defend yourself in the science thread you might have learned what those actual claims are and how they relate (and more importantly how they don't) to your social theories.
Given that all your recent forays into UMD have degenerated into telling people they are hopeless when they challenge you, I'm not going to hold my breath.
My UMD forays degenerate into ME feeling hopeless, I admit I probably project that upon you.
Hopeless, because I want to engage you, and never have time time to climb the mountain of words you pile on top of me. I have other mountains to climb, and those one's have grades, transcripts, and hopefully acceptence into my own masters program at the top.
I'll get to it one day, but until then please don't assume that my failure to adequately respond to you is due to a lack of solid critical analysis done by those in mine and other fields in the humanities. There are far smarter people then I doing a far greater job of critiquing every aspect of the broad field you claim I made into a straw man. I have, on occasions, tried to direct you towards those smart people, but I'm not sure if you ever got there. I'm reading Taming of Truth by Ian Hacking (a brilliant Canadian sociologist), and even my stats prof (a mathematician, a positivist, and empiricist, etc) finds Hacking's critiques invaluable. There's a copy in your library (mind too, but I have it out and I'm not returning it any time soon)
aaaaaand you took me too seriously. Outside of UMD I assure you, I simply get a kick out of making a caricature out of you, and then dissing it.
One day the shrine you've built to liberalism will fall. And on that day I will stand on the rubble and laugh at the pathetic masses which bought into the great lie of our time, you among them. It. Will. Be. GLORIOUS!
I can never take people seriously when they insist on putting such labels on their opponents. You'll never get beyond the straw man stage of an argument applying labels to to people like that. While there are aspects of the philosophies I find appealing, I certainly don't agree with all aspects of all the various names you have called me in this and other threads. In doing so, you are limiting your own thinking to arguing against someone who fits your textbook ideas of what a scientist should look like.
Since it's clear you have no idea what it is I in particular and scientists in general actually do for a living, please ask first and label after understand what it is that we are claiming so that you can critique that instead of whatever strange vision of scientist your mind has created.
Do you own a lab coat?
Actually, yes.
Then you're pretty much a completely stereotypical scientist. Get over it.
Also, perhaps become part of some black ops R&D that's where all the money is.
I have no problem with being a stereotypical scientist. I have a problem with Peace's idea of what that actually is.
What for? Peace just regurgitates whatever his professor told him. It's like arguing with a parrot.
Eh, I like to think people are generally educable. At the very least I'd like him to stop being intentionally dumb about me if he isn't going to defend himself when challenged.
There's a difference between me playing dumb and you acting superior. Sure, I dropped off before addressing every single argument y'all made, but throughout your arguments is a general assumption that somehow me and my school are incapable of even conceiving of what you do. Yes, I quote other academics when I argue (of course, and so I should, they're smarter than me), but those academics have spent tons of time working directly with, within, and alongside the scientific fields they critique.
Like it or not, my arguments don't come from a group of people who are actively ignorant.
I don't think anything about my arguments indicated that I think you are incapable of understanding science, rather I actively tried to explain it to you. There is a difference between not understanding something and being unable to understand something, and I assumed throughout that you were in the first category. And while I'm sure that some of the people you are citing have done useful work, it's clear from the points you took away from them that you are misunderstanding them, because the arguments you derived from them were mostly nonsense. And of course a few of them were simply wrong as well, or at best woefully out of date.
In other words, stop taking everything as a personal attack and actually try to understand the content and then we will be able to get somewhere. I put a lot of thought and effort into my response to you, and if you read it as patronizing then it's in your head.

Peace, Shadow, and I for that matter, made every effort to get you to understand what scientists actually do and what science is actually about. I never assumed you were incapable of understanding it, rather your statements revealed quite clearly that you didn't understand it and I was trying to correct that.

It's okay. I think it is kind of funny and I didn't bother to read much of it.
I mean for posting things that had already been posted by other posters who posted posts.
