Thread: Queer Science.

Why would someone want to choose to be gay anyway? Specially in America... if it was a choice, you wouldn't have gay people in the southern states..

Nietzsche argues for a perspectivism -- the view that

human beings in some fundamental way create the world of their experience
(rather than passively and accurately "receive" a picture of the external world which is true so far as it corresponds to that external world), so that
"truth" depends in large measure on the perspective from which that "truth" is perceived.


Introductory Notes, The Gay Science

Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche authored Queer Science. The links I have posted here give some insight as to what "queer science" is by his definition.

He said 'gay science', I said 'queer science'. Give credit where credit is due.

you are assuming this choice is a conscious one, i would venture to say it is subconscious but a choice none the less.

In which case it's not really a choice, but brought about by things in your environment beyond your control.

Even if true (which it prolly isn't) it's still not a choice.

Don't buy into that sterotype..it's not accurate.

Pretty accurate from what I have seen, but you live in the south too.
