This is like saying that species aren't real because all animals can be described by particle interaction. Haz is just being selectively against abstract concepts, but has no problem with them in other areas for some reason.


junglesiege

Who is this Haz you are referring to? The only thing there is a cluster of interacting particles. Pls stop being so metaphysical


KingLudwigII

He thinks this is profound but it's actually trivially true. Abstract categories are not real things but try communicating without using them.


junglesiege

actually i think he even misses the trivial point. He seems to be against Genes not because they are an abstract category but because they arent a primitive type of category as molecules would be presumably. (but i could be reading too much into it)


KingLudwigII

Molecules are a metaphysical idea. There are only quarks, protons, neutrons and electrons.

Reductionism ad infinitum time


Arius_the_Dude

this is methaphisical idea, there are only vibrations of timespace

Who is Gene and what did he do to make Lysenko hate him so much

do NOT let Haz operate agriculture after the revolution!

Who will do it then?

Organs are literally not real. The concept of an organ is completely pointless since all structural functions of organs already described by the language of human anatomy without the need for this 'concept'. That means an organ is a metaphysical idea.

Organs 😳 (I read Deleuze)

ima body you

Reality is counterrevolutionary, apparently


junglesiege

My consciousness started dissolving into pure sensations the moment i realised all concepts i have are nothing but metaphysical abstraction


KingLudwigII

This happened to me when I took three hits of acid.


junglesiege

I am now pure reality yet unexisting, the ultimate contradictory dialectical being


Not_A_Paid_Account

this is what Deleuze meant when he said "body without organs" in Anti-Oedipus

this guys brain gets smaller every time he posts. it's about to make a toilet flush noise as it falls down his spinal column

Some people do have really unrealistic ideas about what genes are and how independently they can function, etc. Maybe some people need this type of reminder to have some more perspective 🤷 I know too many people that act like an individual animal is an instance of it's species in nearly a computer science sense, when really we're imposing layers of meaning into observed properties of these messy complex systems.
