The Guardian really has morphed into a brainwashing tool for the socialist narratives of the anti-borgeois elite. Outside of the pertinent feminism and its appeals for funding for railing against everyone that disagrees with its bullshit, the only valid use of its output is for teaching kids about what propaganda is, and how the middle-aged people in Britain, who had all of the life sucked out of them, continue to waste their talent in matters that are entirely scientifically baseless. Ethics is not science. They really need to learn to stop pretending that it is.
Didn’t you understand why? The Guardian has taken money from the hand of Be-ill Gates!! He who pays the gold, calls the tune!! Gates is calling the news tune to the Guardian and getting the dastardly results he is looking for.
Ethics is a science, just not a physical science. It needs praxeology to work, not mathematics.

I didn't know that. Makes perfect sense now.
About ethics. There was a great post outlining a kind of attempt to boil morality or ethics down to a kind of Hegelian Dialectic, but can't remember if that SN or Nostr where I was reading it.
If something is not a physical science, I guess you mean a social science?
I can't help feel that social sciences are really what were known as humanities.
Just in the same way the Human Resource used to be known as personnel.

Yeah, I understand the renaming bit. Praxeology is quite a different method of investigation from the experimental physical sciences. In humanities, you cannot treat a variable and see the same results every time because you are dealing with people that change from moment to moment.

It's something I only heard about recently. Appreciate the explanation.
It'd be good if The Guardian wrote about the praxeology of the middle class, and how that ties into behavioural economics. Or referred to an overview of chemical physics and geological timescales to explain the perils of Christmas traditions and other quixotic, environmental health campaigns that Maoist thought leaders in the UK would like to enforce.
*Oh, Merry Christmas!
