Just googled the name of a cool synthwave song and then this comes up.
This is literally just pseudo-religious drivel made up by a bunch of weird jackoffs in academia applying value judgements to human behaviour using totally subjective, arbitrary points of reference like "socially acceptable", "civilization", and "normal".
All fine and valid if it was a subset of philosophy, but the fact that people take this seriously as a hard science is mind boggling. Postmodern neoliberalism is one hell of a drug.
if they do any programming at a serious level they likely have been exposed to the concept of the concept of objects being just a useful metaphor yes. Or really any computer sceince as the fact that what we think of as a machine is a metaphor for the more nuts and bolts aspect is relevant to understanding the different levels of abstraction we work at.
physicists know that classical physics is a useful metaphor at the right scale for the more complicated quantum interactions that are happening under the bonnet. scientism isn't the same thing as science. With science being merely a ruthlessly practical methodology that has really no philosphical message to impart at all albeit being intensely useful to learning about and understanding material reality
whatever you wanna think, goat entrails, all f it!
