      You think there's any benefit to being an Actually Guy who interrupts perfectly pleasant discussions of how much flatter it is on the east side of DC than the west side with facts about the shape of the Earth So you can be More Correct in the Big Picture

      I really really love this quote I just pulled from Notes From Underground about the "pert coxcomb who stands with arms akimbo barring your path and spitting" I can't believe Dostoyevsky identified DeGrasse Tyson energy almost a century before Tyson was bornpic.twitter.com/bYXaXUff00

      Like, Newton was a genius, and Newtonian mechanics is a great accomplishment From the big picture POV, it's completely wrong, but so what Most of the kink fics on AO3 are also just plain wrong, but they also get you where you need to go

      There's a certain kind of obnoxious pedantry about dunking on simplified ideas for laypeople that is very adolescent In the same way teenagers are far more embarrassed by liking things "for kids" than adults are

      That whole Well Actually phase people go through "Well Actually a tomato is a FRUIT" "Well Actually Hamlet says 'I knew him, Horatio'" "Well Actually it's a magazine and not a clip" "Well Actually Peyton Randolph was President of the US first"

      This is very tiresome And I get the feeling these guys think their opponents are doing this But they really aren't - nobody actually said "2+2=4 is dumb and wrong, stop teaching arithmetic now"

      Kareem Carr's whole original tweet was just saying "Hey, if you see someone saying something you think is dumb and wrong, step back and think about why they're saying it See if it's more interesting to try to find ways something can be right"

      "It's so much more fun to do that than to plant your flag on some bizarre religious crusade about how precious truth must be preserved like a fortress against a howling mob of ignorant hordes"

      I'm going to hot-take this -- James and his friends love to throw around the term "sophistry" as a negative And honestly in the cartoonish version of Socrates vs the Sophists we were given by Plato, I'm kinda with the Sophists

      Socrates' whole "I'm gonna own this guy so hard" shtick in the dialogues is unbearable and it's really clear the books are written to paint his enemies in the worst possible light There's a reason Aristophanes portrayed him as a buffoon in his play The Clouds

      Grammar, logic and rhetoric are tools You use them to get better at talking to people and at doing things They can't actually tell you what to do or what to believe, and the idea that that shit would be obvious if you just kicked out all the liars and deceivers is childish
