I don’t know about CyE but I always thought it was a hyper-Christian thing to keep sex for procreation and not enjoyment

Oh my god, thank you - apparently I’m aging myself. Yes - we didn’t used to need go through bomb checkpoints.

Also for the record I feel bad about saying idiotic and NPC! That was unnecessarily unkind, even if I found her excruciatingly vapid

So you agree but you felt the way I wrote it was disdainful, and you thought I didn’t choose a good example.

Perhaps I should have said something along the lines of ‘modern scientific cultural norms are influenced by the European Enlightenment.’

I specifically didn’t mention falsfiabilty and logical positivism etc as I wanted to keep the comment light and accessible.

I was suggesting they read more because it’s generally a good idea to read more about things you’re interested in.

No.

Oof sorry to see that landed so hard - I was genuinely trying to add to the conversation and truly was not expecting this to be so controversial.

I didn’t say maths was from Europe, and I didn’t say Europeans invented 2+2=4 and I certainly didn’t say 2+2 could or should equal 5.

Also, honestly sincere genuine question - what am I gatekeeping and where’s the disdain for Enlightenment ideals? Please quote me!

It is a method! That method is predicated on European Enlightenment avowals of what constitutes an acceptable boundary of truth, an acceptable methodology, and the primacy of certain measurements. That’s the subjective part.

2+2 does equal 4. That doesn’t mean valuing 4 as an answer or valuing the act of valuing of the certainty of 2+2=4 is an objective position.

Look into Philosophy of Science - this is not a controversial perspective.

As a teacher, I filled in to be the last person they needed for a college trip to Disney. As we entered the park and got checked for bombs,my idiotic NPC colleague lisped “it’s so beautiful here 🥹”. As we were getting checked for BOMBS

I wasn’t expecting to see Grimes here

I wouldn’t because I find the design naive (sorry love but come on, they look designed by comittee. Are you sure this is the best version of what you’re trying to say about yourself?) but I do think if you wanna showcase them, it’s gotta be skinny jeans sor leggings (no jeans over the top of the ankles, what’s the point in that case?) and then a cardigan or jumper or long sleeve on top. But the other things must be plain and let the boots speak.

I’m all for a bit of dopamine dressing but don’t drown them in other loud pieces
