The dork in Dawkins, Irigaray and fluidity - YouTube

The dork in Dawkins, Irigaray and fluidity - YouTube

I think the problem is deeper than a denial of non-visual ways of knowing.   There is an attempt to extricate oneself from the stream of life, from contingency, to be something solid, unchanging and unchangeable.   This idea is encapsulated in monotheistic religions, with their idea of the unchanging and eternal "soul".   This idea is implicitly and unconsciously adopted by males claiming to be atheists, who nonetheless wish to dominate with notions of objective,unchanging Truth.   Metaphysics continues, disguised as science.
