      So much of PoMo defenders' argument is 'subjective experiences exist' even tho the people they're arguing with almost never deny this.

      Or 'Cultural & historical differences exist!' Hardly anyone denies that either.

      The difference is almost never that one person thinks differing lived experience & cultural differences exist & the other doesn't.

      It's usually that the former thinks these are everything and the latter thinks facts & statistical evidence are often more helpful.

      Or that what is objectively true as far as can be ascertained actually matters for its own sake and for the future of humanity.

          And so much time is wasted by people yelling at each other what amounts to 'subjective experiences exist' & 'facts exist.'

          Ideally, both parties shld confirm they accept both exist & then discuss how influential they shld be in considering topic under discussion

          Because sometimes subjective experiences are helpful but more often they just contradict each other & ppl pick ones that agree with them.

          Subjective experiences are mostly useful when you want to know what a particular subject experienced. Otherwise statistics are better.

          And acknowledging this does not make one heartless as so often insisted. Solving problems on a large scale requires data.

          It's helping with problems on a small scale that doesn't. If my friend has had a horrible experience, I'll just listen & sympathise with her

          Ppl claiming to go on 'lived experiences' so often fail to realise they pick the ones they listen to & so are really listening to themselves

          Ludicrous situation in which a woman was showing me PoC saying cultural appropriation harmful & I showing her PoC saying 'Don't be so silly'
