"Social construct"? Forget it. Race is biologically real. But it's irrelevant to anything that matters. We're all HUMAN.

@i_contemplate_ Oh, so you're a pomo? -
@alien_ecologies Everything in society is 'socially constructed' trivially, which doesn't mean it's not biologically constructed as well. -
@i_contemplate_ True, society and biology are both mental constructs at bare minimum; concepts have a way in producing results. -
@alien_ecologies What does the concept of 'mental construction' give us in terms of predictability? -
@i_contemplate_ Nothing, nothing at all, it's a facticity not a cause or effect. -
@alien_ecologies Race as biological constructs do give us predictions but of the dire kind in many cases, but their facticity remains aswell -
@i_contemplate_ Truth is always external to such 'mental constructions'; therefore unpredictability intervenes. -
@alien_ecologies That unpredictability can be quantified in many domains and yield robust (enough) results. In many it cannot. - 2 more replies
