EXPERIENCE IS DIVINITY Page 26 …science as being merely one more part of a culture and with no more claim to validity than any other view. Levels of Usefulness, Paradigm Comparisons It seems to me that science has a greater, though not ultimate, claim to validity to the extent it includes and integrates more experiential “facts” in its reality constructions ... the degree of scientific validity — from good ethnoscience to bad ethnoscience — being the number of experiential facts it includes and integrates. Cultural constructions can therefore be compared, although such comparisons do not render any one of them, including science, Ultimate Truth, only “righter” in relation to the others, that is to say, more correct. What follows is that whoever accepts the “larger,” more encompassing, more inclusive perspective is necessarily the one who has more “power” ultimately, in that this one’s view allows for more accurate predictive and remedial power. That is why, eventually if not immediately, more inclusive paradigms and their proponents attain dominance.

Chomsky certainly had an influence in linguistic anthropology, you can see that in Silverstein's shifers paper or Durbin's attempt to wed ethnoscience with transformational grammar, but much linguistic anthropology was a reaction against Chomsky, Basso's metaphor paper

Dr. Chuckie A. Calsado quotes Fanon (1991) during today's webinar on Ethnoscience: Decolonizing Bioethics Education organized by KaSaMa Teachers Community #KaSaMaTeachersCommunity #KTCwebinars2025
Screenshot of a slide from Dr. Chuckie A. Calsado's webinar on Ethnoscience: Decolonizing Bioethics Education, quoting Fanon (1991): "When the colonized are forced to speak the language of the colonizer, they are then also forced to accept their reality -- evil and sin are identified with the colonized and purity and righteousness with the colonizer"

We soon may know the answer to an important philosophical and taxonomic dilemma going back at least to the heyday of Ward Goodenough's #ethnoscience movement...

Murray makes the point that just because you studied with someone doesn't mean you accept their premises, ethnoscience at Yale a good example, Conklin Goodenough & Lounsbury all studied with Murdock, but all were committed to an inductive approach that was the opposite of Murdock

One of the most valuable lessons I have learned over five seasons of The Acequia Institute Next Gen Acequia Farmer internship program is to never underestimate the capacity of youth to be responsive to a challenging curriculum based on Indigenous ethnoscience and agroecology.

Examples of Upcoming Episodes Include:

- A systems science perspective on major climate events, like fires and floods, examined through spatial justice, ethnoscience, and mutual aid to give listeners insights into sustainable, collaborative responses.

I know the piece feels old-fashioned now, with its talk of emics and etics, typology, and the ethnoscience tradition. It's that... and it's so much more. So ambitious, grounded in embodied cognition and practice before those were commonplace.
