Oh no no no no the absolute state of anglos

>>11992108
It's more of a hole in gravity than an actual hole.

>>11992108
No-one is talking about renaming black holes. All they are doing is stopping using nicknames that could be considered offensive for celestial objects, for example not calling a particular nebula the Eskimo Nebula. Now you can argue whether that is wrong but don't misrepresent or lie about what is happening.

>>11992517
Not NASA.

>>11992518
it's a slippery slope there. and no it's not a fallacy when dealing with this shit.

>>11992528
It is exactly a fallacy, you are claiming with no evidence that some county officials being overly sensitive will lead to NASA dropping the black hole term. There is no reason to believe those officials will have any influence over NASA officials.

>>11992536
the fact we're here where there is butthurt about eskimo is evidence. the fact we have a feilds medalists arguing 2+2=5. etc, etc, etc. quit gas lighting.

>>11992549
You know what, your whole slippery slope argument is useless anyway, even if you are right, because you still misrepresented what NASA was doing by implying they were thinking of changing the name of black holes. That is regardless of what you think they may do in the future.

>>11992563
the slope has already slipped this far, it's really not hard to see where the wind is blowing. given the trends. evergreen is now on a national scale as predicted. but you know what you can stay in denial about it all you want, that's your prerogative.

>>11992510
>Eskimo
only retards and overempathetic sociology teachers consider this an offensive term

>>11992108
Here's to the Chinese, may they never let liberalism take root in the mainland. They're humanity's best hope for space colonization.

>>11992591

>>11992108
>A black hole is literally that..A hole that is black..
It's literally neither of those things.

>>11992510
How is "Eskimo Nebula" offensive? You're just a whining retard.

>>11992108
Pathological virtue signalling. They don't know that they're preaching to their own shrinking choir, and that everyone else is increasingly sickened by their behavior.

>>11992536
You are literally witnessing the slippery slope in action, tool.

>>11992108
Daily reminder that virtue-signalers are literally sociopaths and pandering to their mental illness makes things worse.

You have to be a complete retard to think that slippery slope is still an actual fallacy.
I am only 30 years old and even in my relatively short lifetime I have seen things deteriorate rapidly.
What do you think the term "progressivism" actually means? It means incremental steps towards an endpoint. It's the same exact fucking thing as a slope and it's their self-adopted identifier.

heh

>>11992108
good bait

>>11992108
they trust authority. they have a hard time believing propaganda would be at the scale it's at, they're surrounded by it so they accept it.

and if any of them understands what is going on, and many do, they just keep their heads down because it doesn't pay to be a scientist that's being painted with political stuff.

if a scientist comes out as slightly right-wing (rational) everyone is just going to call them a nazi, then every single time anything he contributed to is brought up they'll invalidate it with "oh this was by that nazi guy"

they've already done this a few times.

>>11992536
Retard, newspeak has been implemented ovr and over again during the last 2 decades.
I would beat the shit out of you if you were in front of me just to try to purge some of this bad faith from your retarded brain.

>>11992108
>Why is the science community unironically filled with pseudo intellectual virtue signalling white leftists
they probably got there because of affirmative action

>>11992591
china has its own set of absurd ideologies that can't be question

>>11992591
In some ways the Chinese government is admirable, then I remember that they will literally v& you if they even think you're a subversive agent. They will come after your family, tell lies to your boss about you, ruin your life. Any kind of wrong think and you're sent to a camp, not to mention the organ harvesting. China is the logical endpoint when morality is excised from governance, where everything is founded on an open lie, where everything transactional, but in the most cynical way possible, where the only outcome that matters is perception. China is a machine that grinds up its own citizens as fuel for it's own rampant growth. And it's looking outside its borders for its next meal. Don't fall for the fake dream of China.

>>11993627
that's why I separate their admirable economic policy from pretty much everything else the PRC does

>>11993627
China is the closest we have ever gotten to irl IngSoc, change my mind

No-one has yet to prove that NASA is considering changing the name of black holes.

>>11993867
There's a rumour going around the office it's going to be changed to Big Black Crater or BBC for short.

What if they changed black hole to a more accurate name? Because "black hole" does not describe the actual object. It's not black, and it's not a hole.

Yet you will still be mad because they said the word "inclusion." Even if we are actually improving science.

>>11993509
This.

>>11993910

Like what?

>>11994542
They are incredible at projecting.

>>11993910
>we are actually improving science
Lol no. You are actually destroying science by wasting academia's limited resources on perpetual whining and virtue-signalling. The best thing that could happen to science is for woketards to kill themselves en masse and allow humanity to move forward.

>>11992108
>filled with these people
if you were actually involved in the scientific community, you'd realize that the people doing science are too busy to worry about this shit.
everything in this headline is done by administrators and people loosely involved in the organizations who have way too much time on their hands. the "IFL science" crowd who takes jobs at NASA in the admin office at a huge paycut just so they can say they "work in science."

>>11992112
based chinamen

>>11994584
Those admin positions should be eliminated and the resources dedicated to science. It won't. Why? Because those in administration decide how the money is allocated. Which means they're in charge and those in involved in the scientific community are at the mercy of the admin wackos.

>>11992705
It's offensive to sniveling white leftys

>>11995632
my dude do you know who allocates grants? it's scientists, granted they're working for government positions, but the people who review grant proposals have to know what the fuck the person is proposing.

To anyone out here that still cares about the quality of the posts on this board, remember to apply the I.H.R technique on these threads:
>identify /pol/ threads
>hide /pol/ threads
>report /pol/ threads

For the /sci/ oldfags:
Identifying these bait threads is pretty easy, with just reading the title and the content you can rapidly infer what actual discussion do they want to have and what narrative do they want to push. Do not waste time on arguing, either hide and report or shitpost it into oblivion. We must stop playing naïve; it is not "IQ thread", it is "we want to shit on niggers"; it is not "Climate change", it is "I want to speak pseudoscience". It is obviously common that these threads will relate to some political discussion (mainly those related to sex and race). Again, we are not /pol/ #2, this board should be math and science discussion, not whether or not you think masks are useful based on your dogma. Recognizing these threads and understanding that they are not science is the first step into solving this problem.

For the /pol/acks:
>inb4 boogeyman
You will answer that no matter how many times someone points that out you will say it in order to deflect obvious truth: that the post was done without the intention to discuss scientific inquiry and that it aims to uphold racism. Being here, it is not our duty to be against racism, but it is also not to support it, much less dedicate 300 daily bait threads per week.

meaningless.
