Any of you guys ever been surrounded by reductionist science

Tell them they need to learn about the latest advances in String Theory and Quantum Fields

They're right, that doesn't make sense and wouldn't be applicable to future technology

4chan already serves as a cultural collective unconscious. /pol/ in particular is the very definition of the shadow. I think you were on the right track. Who cares what they think.

People are going to believe and act as the want, regardless of what anyone else says or does. Make peace with that or life is going to be very unpleasant for you. The more you learn about yourself, and existence, the greater the divide between yourself and civilians. Candor is nigh impossible, because more often than not people need to be led by the nose so that the come to understand what you communicate.

whoa I'm not trying elevate myself above anyone else, just want to have a simple conversation without the insults

Well, I like to think about it this way: they are living with a lot of limitations (personal, intellectual, etc etc) as a result of scientific fundamentalism, whereas you are not. If you're benefiting from your "esoteric" knowledge more than they re, you get the last laugh

I like to think that if someone is happy with their paradigm they have every right to just stay inside it. Life is too short to keep arguing. I guess...I dunno anymore....

Your co-worker is a skep-dick dumb fuck anon. That new class of social media born pseudo rationalist, who read a Dawkins book, and if they are not being spoon feed a scientific fact, theory, etc, by approved media, automatically dismiss it while ridiculing the discussion of, or further legitimate, scientific exploration for further facts to guide better testable hypothesis being put forward. These are also the people who will get into arguments with you over aesthetics either being

a.) of no value as they are beyond the scientific method's ability to measure and repeat experiments on.

b.) able to be scientifically measured, and have repeatable experiments performed on, via provable hypothesis.... Which is completely fucking nonsensical.

Also, tell your co-worker Carl Jung was writing about the possibility of a collective unconscious in very concrete and scientific terms a long time ago, and that many researchers are still exploring that as a legitimate possibility.

Bottom line, your co-worker is a dumb fuck, and a dismissive one at that. IT sucks you are stuck in the Hell that is the modern work place where his shitty personality trait can have negative impact on you. Best to just not interact directly with him, unless you have to. And then just assume he'll be a sabotaging shithead, who has an ego driven compulsion to be the smartest person in the room, even when he is a moron.

lol I'm 34 and he's 20, just wanted to throw that out there

The fact that he can't see your correlation between Jung and the internet means he is not very well read.
The internet is in many ways like the collective unconscious or a latent bed of information accessible to most. If your not in a 3rd world shit whole or fucking retarded.

I don't think you can could call anything you'd learn in a freshman-level college course esoteric. At most you could say it might not be common knowledge.
