    something about postmodern feminist epistemology

    I noticed two things when reading your post First You seem to think dogmatism and groupthink on the one hand and snobbery, intellectual bullying, and cutthroat competition on the other in academia are a) limited to scientific and formal fields, b) the exclusive province of men, and c) excluded...

    something about postmodern feminist epistemology

    There's a difference though In the case of my parody, there is a kind of semantic isomorphism between the original screed and my version, which makes the author look like a Nazi In both cases, the author divisively describes the thinking of Us and Them as fundamentally different and works...

    Analog foundations of digital electronics clear as mud

    I self-taught a fair amount of digital and a bit of analog circuits. The very computational part (e.g., put in two ones, get out a zero) which is what they have in digital logic texts is easy for me but at the more primitive level I am having a much harder time. See here for instance...

    "Jewish bias" refers to the set of institutionalized epistemological assumptions and nuances built into the methods of Jewish science in order to exclude and subjugate the Aryan (Seriously, DUH)

    What's interesting about this particular case is that a lot of scientists have been male, but a lot of scientists have also been Jewish So it makes about as much sense to say that scientific epistemology is male as it is Jewish Except one is fashionable and the other looks loony

    The issue is philosophical The claim being made is that the epistemology of science is slanted towards the masculine What kind of "statistics" do I need to refute this claim In fact, how can one even refute it?

    something about postmodern feminist epistemology

    Well the point is that claims of masculine bias in science are just as ungrounded and ridiculous as claims of Jewish bias in science But one is acceptable even fashionable and the other makes you look like a raving right-wing loony living in a log cabin in Montana How absurd society is sometimes
