The whole 'indigenous knowledge is science' thing strikes me as yet another attempt to dodge the burden of actually producing results.

To wit: if something works, and can be replicated, it's not magic, it's not myth. It's science, and it's real. Where it comes from is irrelevant.

But here's the thing: to make it work, you have to put in the work. The experiments. Eliminating variables. Accepting results that don't match what you expected and adjusting your hypothesis (as opposed to massaging your data to make it fit your hypothesis). And there's people who don't want to do that. They want to wear the trappings of science without all the inconvenience of results that don't match their narrative.

(I may think Teddy Beale is a titanic lolcow, but he is absolutely right about 'scientism'.)

What they want is to be able to trot out a mishmash of fable and theory under the guise of 'indigenous knowledge' and get the same respect that actual, rigorous scientific experimentation does.

I think that whole thing is like a theme when it comes to SJW's in general. They think that the thanksgiving arguments should last all year long, and that if they can't convince their family of X is good, Y is bad then they dip out and consider their shitty yesman friends as their new family. It's kind of funny that there has definitely been a situation where someone in the family will be like
"What happened to Madison?"
Oh she called Grandpa a alt right terrorist for not remembering she wanted to be called Matthew. She said on Twitter she's disowning us.

By their logic, Yakub really did invent white people.

The only one of these Thanksgiving things I've seen was when a young female relative brought over a dude with ridiculous colored hair who was one of these types, and we just all subtly mocked him and she nearly immediately dumped him afterwards because of his embarrassing performance.

We're here to eat you fucking fag.

Really specific and weird harassment too. Idk what kind of person gets off on putting public hair on coke cans.

Funny thing is that was not even Hill's claim, she just said he joked about it not did it to her. I probably agree that actually doing such a thing would be bad, I'm not sure someone who did it would have made it to the Supreme Court with Democratic votes.

I won't even begin to state my frustration with the claim, none of you would want to hear it.

This faggot "journalist" has a thread here, I'm biased though because it includes many things I very much enjoy.

Yet another video that really makes me think that these people see minorities as another species. It's really weird and off-putting how they talk about this shit.

What's wild me me is that the base premise of "Indigenous people know shit" is a fair statement to make.
First, it's just factual, but second, there really was a habit a multiple points in history where group A would show up in a place where group B was living, completely write off whatever group B was saying, and then have it bite them in the ass later, or lose some important information just because group A assumed group B was a bunch of ignorant barbarians.
Just off the top of my head I remember reading a story once where a bunch of Romans were fucking around in Africa and noticed the locals jumping over puddles. A soldier asked his commander if they should do the same and the commander was all "They're just a bunch of superstitious morons, just march straight" and a shit-ton of them got infected with guinea worm and it became a horror story that we still remember centuries later.
It's just a thing that happens when new people show up in an area where other people have been living. Hell, you could make a similar argument about Californian's invading other states.

I love how their stories about their awakening to reality are always the same. Will anyone ever make a video where they say "I grew up in a small town with no diversity and in college moved to a city with more diversity and it was all the same stupid shit"?

They're always saying "I don't have to worry about being killed by cops because I'm white" as if all the white people who get killed by cops to make up the largest numerical population of people killed by cops don't exist so they don't have to worry about helping punch those numbers up.

A lot of these things have a grain of truth that is overstretched. Sure, the locals will know things about their area that you don't, but this knowledge while useful isn't science because most cultures (and most people even within cultures that have used the scientific method for centuries) don't take the trouble to isolate causes. Often they'll just figure out "Don't do X or something bad will happen".

It's a bit like diversity, sure having people from different backgrounds in your group will increase the range of ideas they can come up with (Gee, I wonder why this is most popular among office drones whose work consists of sending emails and brainstorming), but in practice you check the McDonald's commercial demographic boxes and then get self-assured enough that you forget that they're all from the same social class and subculture, and then you wonder why people complain about almost every company using a variation of Alegria for their diagrams.

Does anyone have a link to that video of the white woman on the bus vlogging and freaking out when she sees a black woman who "could be a model" like they're another species or something?

Call me a racist, but I believe people are people, regardless of race. And you know the funny thing about people? There are bad ones and good ones in every group.
