These comments ostensibly come from Aaron Bushnell's reddit account before it was suspended. I do not vouch for the veracity of this. Hilarious how they try to peg this obvious leftists as a "liberal."
Originally posted to /r/libsofreddit to make fun of him, but (shocker) Bushnell sounds like he knew exactly what was up.
Yeah, sure. It's totally scientific. That's why we were diagnosing people with "female histeria" and perscribing them medical orgasms as recently as WW2.
"Sanity" is about as scientific a definition as "weeds", which isn't strictly defined and describes any plants that grow in a place where a human doesn't want them to. Likewise, sanity is "the abilty to think and behave in a normal manner", with "normal" left for outside observers to define.
Nope, you need the context of a society to define the "normal" bounds of sanity.
Just because you don't like the truth doesn't mean you don't have unexamimed assumptions clouding your judgement.
