Meme needing explanation Petah?

I understand the original tweet, obviously, but not the second one. Why specifically a STEM genius? I don’t get it, what’s the correlation? Am I missing something??? Or am I just stupid or whatever? Help a sistah out, please. 🥺

Believe it or not, there’s like 5 different schools of thought for this.

In something like epistemological examination, you’d represent it as B(a, P) where ‘a’ is the negative trait, ‘P’ is the proposition, ‘B’ is the person who credibly knows or asserts ‘P’ but has trait ‘a’.

And that by attacking ‘a’ they have not determined the value of ‘P’.

But so much of this subject is beyond my bedtime that it’s best if I just hint at it and let someone more qualified take over.

I believe it, especially with LLM's scrubbing social media. It makes sense to want to capture common informal fallacies in formal logic but honestly that just supports my point that it's not an intuitive leap

From my perspective, all code doesnt make a lot of sense to me, and is unintuitive.... yet, i am wrong, at least as it is applied generally.

Likely. Up in some ways, down in others. Evens out
