Pfft. You don't still believe in meteors, do you?

Not round ones.

You can't be Ceres about that.

"There's no such thing as biological race," maybe, but as presented it's as reasonable as saying, "There's no such thing as religion," or, "There's no such thing as money."

Just because something is mostly or entirely a social construct doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

The world is so exquisite with so much love and moral depth, that there is no reason to deceive ourselves with pretty stories for which there's little good evidence. Far better...is to look death in the eye and to be grateful every day for the brief but magnificent opportunity that life provides.

Having bad ideas is a social construct. Doesn't mean it needs to exist.

I agree that many social constructs are bad ideas that shouldn't exist, but that's not a world you can bring about by simply pretending they're already gone.

I should have said "persist" instead of "exist".

It's not female-coded. It's idiot-coded.

Right. That's the kink in the chain. And the distaste is not specifically masculine either.
