That’s why POMO from Nietzsche thru Feyerabend has a role—to temper our egoism that we can possess this “truth”

epistemic humility doesn't need to result in ahistorical "all science is racist, capitalist, white supremacy, whit a purposeful nefarious agenda" that's what people have a problem with. you're arguing with ghost in your head, i'm not saad or peterson.

That’s all I was arguing for. Epistemic humility sums it nicely.

That’s what burns my bacon. Critique such as Dewey’s or Rorty’s gets lumped in with the latest discoveries in campus Pyrrhonism.

OTOH we’re informed that market dominance and rape are coded in our genes. (This touted as “objectively true”)

"Supported by latest research," is better than "objectively true." Saying rape is genetically encoded is not saying it's OK.

That it’s supposedly encoded is the worst of pseudoscientific “just-so” stories.

Rape is a concept we have defined. At some point we developed the brains and moral reasoning to say that it was bad. But of course, much of what underlies it - sexual desire & dominance - are evolved.

Brains and moral reasoning are every bit as evolved as other complex behaviors
