      And actually you owned yourself here too, because Einstein's great downfall in later life was his absolute refusal to "wrap his mind around" the "other way of knowing" represented by quantum mechanics and being humiliatingly proven wrong by experiment

      The apparent inconsistency between relativity and quantum physics - the lack of a single "way of knowing" that works at all scales for all things, a "Theory of Everything" - is famously the status quo in physics Sorry if you don't like it but science is not about your feelings

      "Sorry if you don't like it but science is not about your feelings." Well done. Also, 2 + 2 = 4.

      And your yelling about how this offends you aesthetically and you hate the shitty busted measuring device you're using and you deserve to have Platonic knowledge of the true mass of all things to infinite sigfigs is just feelings and it's not the important thing

      I'll disagree with you there - I actually find feelings to be enormously important, and something that should be taken seriously in political and academic discussions. Meaning comes from feelings after all. But as always, we have to know what we're talking about.

      I'll actually take this further What people like this are mad about isn't truth, it's comfort Their sense of the world based on half understood textbook knowledge is very important to them and they don't want it disturbed by ideas they don't understand

      And given that it isn't practically relevant to them in any way - they learned these "facts" like "The Solar System Has Nine Planets" as a purely cultural artifact, a sort of pre-religion - it's honestly not an unreasonable ask If it doesn't matter, leave people be

      If I see someone going "the solar system has nine planets" and I go all Neil DeGrasse Tyson and jump on them to humiliate them for their ignorance and show off my erudition I'm just being an asshole I'm not helping anyone and should shut up

      What gets me here is that these people are not just asking, reasonably, to be left alone THEY are the ones jumping on OTHERS in defense of their "objective truth" THEY are the ones bitching about having to "coddle the sensitivities" of others

          I'm not mad at them because they're ignorant, I'm ignorant of many things too I'm mad at them for their hypocrisy and their arrogance They aren't just ignorant, they're trying to enforce ignorance, enforce their dominant social position

          It's always funny to me that this leads to asserting things that are just obviously wrong as absolute, unquestionable truths. Notably: "the sky is blue" or "the grass is green"
