I totally reject the notion that Mahr's response to my paper represents a legitimate, equal alternative to my view that many aspects of reality are mind-independent. We are not merely "talking past each other" from different epistemological starting points. Mahr's view is actually incoherent and at odds with everything we know about material reality. And the fact that I even have to respond to such thorough nonsense is truly shocking. These ideas have no place in academia because they have no guardrails whatsoever. There is no limiting principle or empirical anchor that makes them self-correcting over a long enough timescale like the sciences. This means that, over time, these fields actually get more, not less, disconnected from reality. And then they start infecting legitimate fields like biology and try to tear down legitimate knowledge. These fields rooted in Critical Theory are totally fraudulent. They have no place in academia and do not deserve to be supported with taxpayer dollars.
