Science Memes
Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
- Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
- Keep it rooted (on topic).
- No spam.
- Infographics welcome, get schooled.
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

I just assumed that the graduate has a Ph of D.
If we assume hexadecimal, that is a pH of 13
Mmmm sodium hydroxide. Basic.

I kinda love that this is a thing. All things lead to philosophy.
And the h?
PhD Philosophy Demonised
for heckin'
Epistemology should be taught in primary school.
I mean that unironically. Learning about simple principles like non-contradiction and logical fallacies can help inoculate against so much bullshit.
With AI distorting the internet in every capacity, virtually everyone needs a new norm for evaluating whether their knowledge can be justified.
I have taught my children epistemology for this reason. It is THE key skill in the disinformation age.
It should be part of a 12 year rhetoric program. I didn't learn anything in English class after the 3rd grade. Granted, I was considered gifted, but you have a lot of slack to put in philosophical foundations and logic.
non-contradiction and logical fallacies can help inoculate against so much bullshit.
That's exactly why its not taught.
Epistemology, Logic, and Science Literacy fite me. These are the tools you use to teach yourself, anything.
This meme is perfect, because that's cat's face is saying "I don't know what is happening or why, but I'm determined to see this through to its conclusion"
When I was doing my undergrad in biology the amount of my classmates dismiss philosophy as "soft humanities" or just "word play" is disheartening. For my humanities component of my grades I took all philosophy classes and I had a great time. It's a great crossover when Philosophy of Biology was offered.
I’m a theoretical biologist.
The best book I read on multilevel selection theory was actually written by a professor of philosophy. The author broke down the individual concepts, as they do, so that anyone reading it knew exactly what each technical term referred to. Biology is my favorite subject because there’s so much that we’re still figuring out and it’s just ridiculously complex.
I might have had a similar hot take as an undergrad when everyone has an ego based on their major - and I was even a computer engineering student for awhile, and engineers tend to be even worse at that sort of thing.
I am not a biologist but could you please share the name and author of the book? Sounds liek something I'd enjoy TIA
The Word Play criticism is probably based on Analytic Philosophy, which honestly does come off as a whole bunch of wankery from the outside.
It's not just the undergrads.
Descartes warned us but we didn't listen
We discarded Descartes
For Kierkegaard.
Doesn't Descartes' maxim deal more with ontology than epistemology?
Which is why he was trying to warn people about his enemies the epistemologists
Eli5?
Epistemology asks what do we know and how do we know it. In other words, it's the theory of knowledge.

it's not where they cut the vagina and anus into a cloaca?

I think this is what you're thinking
Yep. It seems people either didn't get it, or didn't find it funny.
I think you missed the proper formula for that joke, prople took it as genuine.
"No, you're thinking of a surgical procedure done to enlarge the vaginal canal."
Episiotomy
TIL
Lmao wat.
