    Hexbearian philosophy is truly incredible, you have to explain things that should be so incredibly self explanatory. You get STEMlord takes like:

    Thought experiments are stupid because they’re not realistic. DAE thinking isn’t real it’s all chemicals? Checkmate stupid idealist.

    Marx’s materialist analysis of the economy proves that consciousness doesn’t exist. (Thinking involves ideas, and you can’t hold ideas because they’re not physical, therefore consciousness is idealist garbage). As everyone knows Marx proved that ideas don’t exist. Real buzzword blender territory here.

    Thousands of years of nonstop inquiry simply can’t withstand my materialist genius explaining that one of the greatest mysteries of all time is actually really easy and I just solved it you morons.

    Literally treating materialism in an economic context as if it were completely interchangeable with physicalism.

    A lot of people here need to learn that “that word doesn’t mean what you seem to think it means.”

      I think the stemlord takes make a bit more sense when you remember that, as much as everyone likes to dunk on reddit-logo on here, this place did ultimately come from a subreddit. It might have been a somewhat less cringe subreddit, but becoming vaguely leftist doesn't automatically free you from Reddit Thought
