Why is it that all over reaching, incoherent, unfalsifiable, and just plain stupid academic theories / areas viciously denounced unless they conform to the preferences of left wing critical theory lovers. Why can't people see that they're all charlatans?
I see topics trying to decipher Hegel and I don't know who's trolling who or if the posters are all low IQers. Rather than try to understand the internal logic of Hegel, why not treat it as a black box and ask its practitioners to make falsifiable predictions with it. I'm sure that's fucking easy for them since they never shut up about how Capeetal / History is explained by their theories. If they manage to predict things then we have a good sign that the theory isn't self referential nonsense.
Of course what I am describing is feasible yet I am humouring them because they'd never do it and I know right this second there are outraged people who will say I am stupid. They will say the theory shouldn't have to do anything. And then I will ask, "So why should your theory be given attention or government subsidies over the infinitely many possible other theories?" Then I will get no answer.

The universe is a complicated place and therefoer good theory is a complicated matter.
Reading 30 pages Popper about falsification isn't a proper scientific foundation for deciphering questions about consciousness or societal ideology.
I agree that theres a plurality of stupid academics producing shit however OP it's a part of the scientific community to be an active swarm of researchers.
Besides this i hate your reductionist bullshit. Predictability isn't an objective science. Just as the nature of light is either energy or waves lots of shit depends on which position you behold it from. This is highly true with history and societal/cultural events which is constantly retroactively rewritten according to the discourses in the present.

How about you stop trying to interpret science through an ideological lens.
But yeah, there can never be a predictive theory for all of history, asking these idealogues to use their theory to do so is silly.
But by the same token, god I hate people taking different aspects of critical theory as a pseudo religion and interpreting the entire world through it. These people are incapable of entertaining a point of view intellectually and not having it become this pseudo spiritual thing for them, wherein they attempt to re-craft the world in its image.

Because you can't take history to a lab, anon.

I was wondering when we would get our daily reductionist rambling about the problems with philosophy thread.
