Toot

Really peculiar how humanities folks are the ones who continually analyze the operations of myth & fantasy & ideology, while when I observe discussions of technology & privacy I routinely read people sharing Big Feelings and Convictions with little primary evidence.

Not saying that feelings & convictions are wrong, of course!

But I've got to complain that frequently encountering so many hypotheses advanced loudly with so little proof doesn't jibe neatly with the claims about the inherently superior STEM ways of knowing that are bandied about while humanities departments are placed in hock (or just plain gutted).

@ryanrandall so much this. I will say it is amazing how many hums/soc sci folk become STEM when attempting to justify cooking the planet to plan lessons or make handouts.
