    A lot of ignorance is just a story convincing enough to be memetic, and social truth is about as intelligent as pond scum, because it is that shallow social reaction.

    The social truth is also aggressively defended. You’ll have academics explaining how this is an issue based on definitions bounded for utility in the form of heuristics specialized for social communicablility.

    Does anyone remember all the annoying kids ranting about social constructs? Most things are social constructs. Just like doors, windows, and the boundable complexities around when a door is a window, or when they are neither.

    Fighting that doors can’t be windows is dumb when I have door windows and window doors.

    Imtersex people exist. Trans animals exist, and some species are not clearly boundable /definable by that anthropocentric oversimplification.

    If only we had cooperative social values for actually understanding the world.
