I read it more as “I reject your theory”. A lot of times I feel the communist side push theory in a cult like propaganda manner to silence other opinions and ignoring the human element. Not to say theory doesn’t have its place, but it shouldn’t be revered as a religion. I don’t mind communist memes, not a fan of ML/authleft memes though. But I’ve had leftymemes blocked since they lied about their rules, so I don’t know how bad it’s gotten.

Genuinely, this is just conservative anti-intellectualism. Theory isn’t dogma, just like chemistry isn’t.
What do people think science is? No really?
It’s just the study of the observable natural world.
So what do they mean ‘human element’?! Are humans not a part of the natural world?
Who am I kidding, this is all vibes and no thought.
To the extent that most people have a philosophy of science, it’s just pure Baconian early Western enlightenment tripe, which is predicated on a strong division between experimenter and experiment, or between human and natural world. It’s a foundational myth of western civilization.
It’s so strange to me that people can see themselves as separate from the natural world.
But maybe that’s just because my definition of the natural world is just “whatever exists in nature” and my definition of nature is “The universe”.
Like everything is just fundamental particles arranged I’m different ways. So we’re all the same shit experiencing life from different angles, right? Or is that reductive?
But also I might just be weird and sleepy. Lol.
Basically the core ideas of Monism. Spinoza big basis for this line of philosophical thought.
I think “the same shit in different configurations” might be a little more accurate, at least when speaking of us compared to other massive bodies like plants or rocks or clouds, but that’s probably what you were saying anyway.
