Math and science are not the same thing lol.

Not even remotely. Science evolves. Math goes according to its own strict rules. You just made it clear you don't have a clue what science is. You're exactly the sort of dimwit I'm talking about.

You cannot have science without math. Did I say they were the same? Seems you're unable to respond any of the arguments and have resorted to name-calling and misdirection. Rather weak, madcow.

Science is not a fucking political or social choice

Proceeds to declare race is a social construct, and announces 26 new genders.

Here ya go (though this too is social, not necessarily about science):

Sir, that is one of the most garbage articles I've ever laid eyes on. You've got to snap out of it. There are 2 genders, occasional hermaphrodites and 26 types of gay. You are anti science if you can't grasp this most natural and rudimentary fact.

Then why are you bringing up math? You didn’t make an argument. You just demonstrated you don’t know what science is by declaring it black and white.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

Do you not understand the relationship between math and science? How's this: exact sciences. Why do people argue over the exact sciences, argue over facts, argue over 'science'? Part of the reason is that there are social networks of people who want to do so. Why is this? Depending on how old you are, you might remember a time when this didn't happen, not that long ago. The policization of facts and science is one of the strangest achievements of the GOP. It's also dangerous. It's fucking up the US.

The original comment is so far over your head, it's not even funny.

Here it is if you want to read it:

Braindead normies flooded the discussion and now it has to be black and white all the time: either you’re an anti “SCIENCE!” Nut who doesn’t trust vaccines or you want all the vaccines you can get, no matter how little you need them or how rushed they were. It’s the same with global warming, you have to be on gretta’s level or you’re an anti “SCIENCE!” nut.

Your kneejerk reaction to this was to claim science is black and white, like math, and I must be an anti "SCIENCE!" nut.

You're the exact sort person I'm talking about. A guy in a suit on the television says something, and to you that's "SCIENCE!". He said it's "SCIENCE!" and the tv would never lie, therefor you think you're pro science. You're not pro science, you're pro perceived authority. That's not what science is. There's a reason I'm writing "SCIENCE!" instead of science. I shouldn't have to explain the comment in this much detail for you to understand it.

Eventually you might realize that you know what you want to say, but cannot communicate it appropriately to others. You might not learn this on Saidit. Your either/or argument still does not work. For example, one does not have to be on Gretta's level, or one would be an anti-Science nut. That's not necessarily what's happening at Saidit. Instead, there there are emotional users pushing their agendas and beliefs, much of which they learned on TheDonald, or Breitbart. Yes, this polarizes the discussion, but not in the manner that you suggest. For example, I see no "Gretta level" users on Saidit.

My point, idiot.

Unfortunately, neckbeards like you act as though this is the case. You immediately chimed in to say not believing "SCIENCE!" is tantamount to saying 2 + 2 isn't 4.

You're the exact sort of dimwit I'm talking about, and you just proved this over and over.

Nobody else here needed this explained to them so thoroughly.

You're not pro science, in fact, you've demonstrated you don't know what it is. You're pro "SCIENCE!". In other words, you blindly believe what somebody in a suit on the television tells you, while confusing that for science.

OK - where is the 'grey' area that proves SCIENCE is wrong? Consider the black and white argument for math:

2+2 = 4

Unless of course you want to consider the nuanced, grey, non-black and white argument about math,

This was your knee-jerk response. Demonstrating my point that: if you're not on greta's level, you must be anti "SCIENCE!". As well demonstrating you think science and math are the same thing.

Holy hell, there's plenty of math involved in physiology, physics, chemistry, and medicine.

[–]madcow-5 5 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

No shit there's math involved.

That doesn't mean they are the same thing. Just because something uses math, does not mean it is math. I'm shocked I have to explain this concept.

[–]Comatoast 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Take a step down from that high horse, you might bust your ass.

Science is in a constant state of evolution because we're constantly disproving theories and finding out new information that solidifies previous theories etc. I'm agreeing with that aspect of what you're saying, but the way you worded it in your argument was retarded.

[–]madcow-5 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

but the way you worded it in your argument was retarded.

Which part?

The person responded to me stating that science is black and white because math is black and white. They fundamentally don't understand what science is.

I'm looking over the comments stream and I'm having trouble finding what I was reacting to, or rather thought I was reacting to. I might have misconstrued some of what I was reading there. Either way, I fucked up. I'm sorry for jumping your case.

Edit: found it. I still did a dumb. Whoops.
