    1. ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs‏ @MorlockP 12 Oct 2020

      One evolution in my thinking over the last ~5 years is that I now hate High Theory I find a few other people using the phrase, but no crisp definitions so I'm going to attempt one. It will necessarily be wrong ...if I claimed it was simple AND correct IT WOULD BE A HIGH THEORY

      2/ A "high theory" is an explanation of multiple phenomena using a simple (low Kolmogorov complexity) explanation, often coupled with an appeal to essentialism.

      3/ A trailer park example of High Theory is "Jews pull all the strings" or "whites are better than blacks in every way".

      5/ High brow examples of High Theory are whatever most philosophers are nattering on about, and anything 1 or 2 steps removed from a TED talk.

      ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs Retweeted eigenrobot

      6/ Einstein said "make things as simple as possible, but no simpler". High Theory overshoots the mark and makes things way too simple. hilarious explanation of every High Theory ever -->https://twitter.com/eigenrobot/status/967114911401652225 …

          common or garden variety epiphany is when you suddenly notice how some operative principle is driving phenomena in all kinds of different areas of experience, and if you aren't careful you could decide it EXPLAINS EVERYTHING, yeah? so then you try to repackage that for others
