Interesting site spotted on the memetics list.
Butterflies and Wheels has been established in order to oppose a number of related phenomena. These include:
- Pseudoscience that is ideologically and politically motivated.
- Epistemic relativism in the humanities (for example, the idea that statements are only true or false relative to particular cultures, discourses or language-games).
- Those disciplines or schools of thought whose truth claims are prompted by the political, ideological and moral commitments of their adherents, and the general tendency to judge the veracity of claims about the world in terms of such commitments.
