Gravity as Social Construct


A friend just posted a post on gravity as a social construct. I must concur. As with so much of modern society it really depends on how one feels. Thus I see no reason not to include Newtonian gravity among those things we often felt in a less enlightened time as scientific intangibles. After all, isn't it freeing to free one bound by the slavery to outdated norms? Shouldn't we encourage any of our gravity-oppressed brethren to flap their arms and release themselves from the puritanical old science? Really, I might just have to reaffirm my friend for posting such a broad-minded idea. We must certainly encourage people in realizing their new reality and free them from their restrictive inhibitions that keep them from experiencing the novelty of walking off of buildings, freeing those who think themselves winged avises for the luxury of jumping out of skyscraper windows, free teachers to teach the open-minded view, catechize gravityphobes out of their phobia. Maybe we who aren't haters will fight for unbigoted science that will give the appropriate vision that gravity indeed is a social construct. It is as one great philosopher once said: "Gravity is dead." Thus please cancel any of your concerts against such a hateful law that would prohibit walking off the Tobin Bridge. Shouldn't we fight for our friends to pursue such a long awaited liberating freedom?
