Скачать или смотреть Why Reddit Hates This Meme (And the Philosophy They Censored)

What happens when you try to have a nuanced philosophical discussion on Reddit? Apparently, you get deleted.
In this video, I’m breaking down my recent Bell Curve IQ meme: "Thinking you're understanding the code when you're just looking at the pixels." While the post sparked a massive debate, many of the most cohesive and richly worded replies were scrubbed from the thread, leaving only the "recycled slogans" and "buzzwords" behind.
We explore:
• The "Middle Guy" Trap: Why many people in STEM mistakenly believe science proves our senses are "precise biological instruments" showing us objective reality.
• Ontology vs. Epistemology: Why the meme isn't an attack on chemistry or measurements, but a question of how things actually exist.
• The Reality Filter: Drawing on the work of Donald Hoffman, we discuss how evolution favours "fitness payoffs" over "objective truth." Our senses aren't showing us the world; they are hiding its complexity so we can survive.
• The Problem with Reddit: Why platforms allow nonsense and "brain-dead takes" but censor peaceful, constructive speech that challenges the majority bias.
I’m bringing my [deleted] comments back to life to show you the "code" behind the "pixels."

The creator argues that the platform’s environment often prioritises hostile rhetoric and superficial buzzwords over nuanced intellectual engagement. While critics accused the meme of misusing its format or presenting a "straw man" argument, the author contends it was designed to critique scientific physicalism from an ontological perspective. The materials highlight a tension between materialist worldviews and theories like conscious realism, which suggest our senses act as evolutionary filters rather than windows to objective reality. Ultimately, the discussion serves as a broader commentary on how digital moderation can stifle peaceful, constructive dialogue about complex metaphysical ideas.
