>I love being an intelligent and rational person, like all those cool famous scientists! Mind you, that's why I'm a rationalist!

{{I want to hate fuck you in the butt}}

what's rationalism never understood

SHould I buy /HYPERSPHERE/?

Or should I just find a printer for the pdf myself? Seems like a slim chance. How is the quality on lulu books? It would cost me about $20 with shipping.

>i'm a spiritual humanist

>>8247428
Instead of looking in a woman's mouth to see if she has as many teeth as you you think really hard about it.

>>8247428
>lol what's "actually checking out the phenomenons of the natural world"? I can just think it out like a true OG

>>8247437
isn't that odontology/ontology?

>>8247431
Buy a gun and shoot yourself in the head. Seriously, don't shoot yourself but shoot some cans instead, brother. Learn how to defend yourself and your mother. Be able to sleep well in bed. Save money for practical reasons, like store some honey.

Generally speaking, it's when you are trying to think about things instead of acting like a dumbass you usually are. Which is commendable. But, sadly, the "rationalistic" movement attracts the most autistic and fedoric individuals, so a person with any aesthetic sense won't find the place there.

just kill me already desu

>>8247441
No it's orthodontistry

>>8247466
You clearly don't know what rationalism actually is.

I just ordered it. I'll make a post about it once it arrives.

>>8247344
I'm a positive negativist.

>GOSH, I'm such an idealist! It's great to have ideas about the future!

>>8247428
It's the idea that a priori knowledge can be used to reach valid conclusions through induction and demonstrated through proofs, the foundational principle being that human beings are logical beings that can reach sound conclusions.

Fedoralords like to use the term to mean "buh I'm smarter than the rest because I'm a logical dude who uses pop science and debate club terminology to argue online". In this context it's virtually meaningless and it just means "I'm more smarter than you."

>>8247440
Once again proof that /lit/ doesn't read. Rationalists, while pitted against empiricists, did not dismiss the validity of material evidence; that came later when idealism was coming into vogue.

your post exactly

Daily reminder that positivism was philosophically destroyed in the 1950s, and that science isn't based on empiricism.

Kind regards, Karl Popper.

>>8251231
Why do you post bullshit and then get upset when called out on it? It can't be that fun surely?

>>8251254
Many peeps in the sciences either don't realise this or outright reject it. Not everyone but an awful lot.

>>8249995
>Aristotle maintained that women have fewer teeth than men

Who /altruistic cynic/ here?

>>8251578
What is it with antiquity and claiming women had less bodily stuff
> less teeth

Weird times 2bh

>he still believes in the "I understand way too much to be happy" meme
You're just a silly weak ass faggot. And an edgy one with that.

>>8251578
And they did once Aristotle got through with them

>>8251731
This

If you're not happy, you're dumb as fuck. There is literally no reason to be unhappy. Ever.

>>8251829
People actually believe this? In 2016? lel

>>8251829

You were like one google search away of being right you fucking idiot. Even with the internet at your side you manage to be wrong so badly.
