Yeah, sure. It's not that I care that much about it, it's just a pet peeve of mine.

There's this overlap between conservative, traditionalist takes on how things are "meant" to work, as per some intended design and a new-agey, lovey-dovey take on the same thing diguised as progressivism that hides the same restricting, prescriptive attitudes behind a façade of ecologism or pseudoscience.

I find it annoying. Can't help it. Don't really want to, either.

Incidentally Dr. Wilkins there is a ringing all the alarms on that front so badly I want to go find a firehose.

    You’re so right on that overlap. It’s incredible how this alt-right propaganda machine has like colonized so many ideas into itself. I don’t blame you for having that habit, it’s fucking everywhere and it’s infuriating.

    Also I can def see that about Dr Wilkins, I just thought the concepts were interesting but definitely that’s one of the, not maybe a fallacy but some kind of slope to those ideas
