Hell yes

Thank you for watching this episode of Holla Forums

Fascism has always been an anti-intellectual movement so I'm not surprised

Yes, but it is nonetheless hilarious to see Holla Forums rejecting all of modern physics as a Jewish plot when it has such accomplishments as calculating the fine structure constant to 8 digits, or reject evolution as a Jewish plot if they happen to be Christian LARPers. Apparently some of them think it was God's will to create other races as subordinate to whites or something.

There are personality cults in science but relatively or theoretical physics isn't one of them.

...

communists in Russia burned books and many records and diaries in 1918. The cultural revolution also involved burning a lot of chinese literature as well as family recordings that were treated as heirlooms.

book burnings are not unique to one ideology. your post is an example to anti-intellectualism.

Anti intellectualism in any form is taking it too far

That Holla Forums thread is amazing, btw. Why are they so fucking obsessed with Tesla?

burning the records of which serf was tied to which plot of land and the generation debts the chinese peasants owed to their perpetual landlords isn't the same as burning books for being "jewish"

not entirely, I wish I had that book by adorno in front of me right now, but intellectualism is fucking cancer in its own right.

He was a virgin until he died, they can relate

We need a reverse Pol Pot. Instead of executing people with glasses, we should execute everybody whose twitter feed shows them consistently using logical fallacies.

A lot of innovators had to come to the US to get any work done. These types in that post are the minority.

The type of convergent thinking that socialism/communism stifles innovation, at best.

How's string theory panning out? Still just need a collider the size of jupiter to detect a graviton? How's the vacua landscape looking, still only limited to 10^500?
All other quantum gravity theories? Entropic gravity?
The entire cosmological model, based on accelerating expansion, ignoring the vacuum catastrophe, postulating various epicycles including, but not limited to: dark matter, dark energy, dark rifts?
The holographic universe?
Many worlds? Many minds? Does consciousness cause collapse? Or is it Bayesian?
Is the multiverse the only acceptable option besides God because the fine tuning of various constants?
Is there an arrow of time are we in a static, eternal block universe?

Let's get Witten in here to discuss the mathematicalization, so he can enlighten us poor dumb Holla Forumsyps about his breakthroughs in pure topology. Actually, scratch that, just go ask this guy: motls.blogspot.com.au/2014/10/who-is-bigger-hater-of-fundamental.html

It's true. It just hasn't been experimentally established yet. LQG, entropic gravity, etc. are drivel.

There is nothing wrong with dark matter. You can observe it as the source of gravitational lensing. The fundamental particle(s) that make up dark matter are another issue.

What does this mean, exactly? AdS/CFT?

Quantum "Foundations" were a mistake.


Even though I am on the Left I love Lubos. He's hilariously autistic, all while BTFOing idiots with their "interpretations" of quantum mechanics or entropic gravity or whatever.

Oh, like being a communist! Well done!

Holla Forums do you know how to talk shit

...

Well i mean we did create this board…

...

String theory isn't background independent, what would that have to do with "le Jewish physics".

...

pick one

It's pure abstraction, an empty formalism with high flexibility, but with no grounding in the physical world as measurable through experiment, physically meaningless.

I pick analytique philosophy

Again: what does this have to do with Jewish physics? Holla Forums is asinine.

That's why we have particle accelerators to simulate the birth of the universe.

It doesn't exist and it's just theory.

Wew, that's fucking ridiculous even for nazis.

we would exterminate 95% of the world

yes

Get the fuck out popsci fag or solve schrodinger on a spherically symmetric potential

Good.

Make it so, Lieutenant.

Let it burn.

I fixed the meme for you

For what purpose
