@vruba the “calculator for words” metaphor remains durable to me.

@vruba also some of these folks never read Popper and it shows

@allafarce People just really want to add “this is often wrong” to “this feels soulless” and get “this is wrong because it lacks the truth-giving power of a soul” and it drives me nuts.

@vruba I’m really curious where you see this so much. (Candidly I do see moralism much more on this fediverse, which is… a reasonable outcome given selection factors.) In my spaces I see a lot more “ooo here is another use that seems to work”
