just nate – code is poetry, life is code

There are just some things that you cannot have opinions about.

Let me back up. Today someone told me that evolution is based on “will” and that all animals exercise their will to evolve. When I began methodically removing the several layers of misconception inherent in the statement, my friend exclaimed in a nearly shrill voice, “but this is my opinion! Everyone is entitled to an opinion!”

Really?

Stop playing the opinion card, folks. It pisses me off. Some things don’t allow for an opinion. Math things. Science things. Yes, you’re entitled to believe that the communicative law of addition is false. No, you’re not entitled to shove your medieval, baseless belief on me as some sort of speculative opinion vomit and expect me not to blast it to the ground. No, it doesn’t matter if that’s your opinion. A is A, just as Aristotle’s Law of Identity states.

politicize that, bitches!
