Wow, there he is. Like, for real.

It's okay, man. You majored in some science field, you don't care much for philosophy; we don't have to be at each other's throats here. I'm not questioning the validity of the periodic table, it's simply a way of thinking about it.

Dude I understand what you think you are saying and you are quite simply wrong. You don't understand what the periodic table is if you think it could be constructed in some other way or that it's organization is arbitrary or subjective.

You are also wrong in the basic philosophy of it.

No wonder you got the piss taken out of your in that other place.

It can be constructed in other ways. I gave you two of them. Those other presentations are not "less correct," they're just less useful. It just so happens that the most useful, scientific depiction of the table to us is also the one that contains the most facts.

You are also wrong in the basic philosophy of it.

Keep in mind, this argument I had was several proxy-arguments downstream of whether or not transwomen are women. So, be aware of what waters you're treading into.

Isn't the rejection of post-modernism like a very Jordan-Peterson–like thing to do? I'm pretty sure I heard him whining about it when he was also whining about ~~jews~~ cultural marxists.

Peterson is kinda the embodiment of post-modernism, that is, he does all his ideology building by questioning everything else into oblivion.

Of course, not knowing what he's talking about is also something very Jordan-Peterson-like so that all tracks.
