yeah, the full blow 19th c. phrenology was 95% bunk...but it's a sore spot. I first got black pilled in HS when a teacher (a) explained the scientific method, (b) said that phrenology was bunk. I asked "what experiment proved that?" A: "well, it's OBVIOUSLY bunk" https://twitter.com/BookDude/status/1034809594554589184 …
not pissed, just spergy: I'm 10% interested in debating phrenology and 0.0001% interested in debating the terminology around the semantics of the knowledge of phrenology
