No, what it is is an acknowledgment that there are people who think rationally, and then there are those people who think you should fucking shut up and be burned at the stake for disagreeing with them. The idea that modern anti-theists are

Yeah, I wonder why certain people are allowed to obtain that many points to begin with? Almost as if you "play by the book" on a website dedicated to, wait for it, NOT playing by the rules.

Can I introduce you to some people then? I would love to drop you off in other places too, not just here in the US, but Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan and let's seem if your claim holds true. Care to take me up on the offer?

Seems more reasonable a claim than life was breathed into clay to form man.

Artificially downvote me all you want. All you are doing is proving how Hacker News is a highly curated and biased website towards a particular viewpoint.

That is actually very fascinating.

I understand very well how other people look at it. They ignore logic when it is convenient. They say, "Yeah, look at those flat earthers, bunch of silly idiots", then turn around and swear they hear god speak to them at the same

It wasn't about religion, it was about delusional thinking.

What is wrong with my question on delusional thinking? Is it not an active area of discussion among psychologists? Is it not important to understand what delusional thoughts are versus rational thoughts?

I made the original pigeon post? Did you read the part asking me for sample size on wizards? How about you tell all here what is a reasonable sample size for being able to rule out wizards? How many people have you seen shooting fireballs o

OK, then answer the simple question AnimalMuppet. Do you believe wizards can shoot fireballs out of their hands or not? If you are up for a more serious question, how about, do you believe humans can walk on water or not?

How does this not belong here if it could potentially have this big of an impact? This is exactly the type of thing hackers would be curious about. We want to know how a system would react to a change in the parameters and figure out if it

I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not lol. So many cultures speak of ghosts as well. Doesn't mean they existed. I mean, if they did, I'll be sure to bring that up in court next time I need to blame something breaking

Have you ever played the game of telephone? Is it not more likely people lied and repeated lies that got so completely changed from reality than to believe some person actually flew to space on a winged donkey?

by Layke1123 4y ago
I can't believe in 2022, on a website dedicated to tech and other interesting things, I'm having a conversation with some one ardently defending whether humans can shoot fireballs out of their hands and walk on water or not.

Isn't it delusional thinking if you ignore facts about reality?

All it takes is for one bad apple to not install them correctly or use badly defected ones, and boom, people drinking water they should not. Sometimes, regulation IS the answer.

Is this a veiled criticism of Hinduism?

by Layke1123 4y ago
I imagine it's akin to management expecting you to spend your off hours learning all this "great new tech" while they think working off hours is reading online articles on hacker news to "stay up to date".

by Layke1123 4y ago
Duh, isn't it obvious that a whole part of business is trying to find ways to make money off the government, not just your customers? Tech has been doing this for a while if you are anyone at the exec level or have tried to understand

No amount of currency is going to work unless we acknowledge that every human life deserves certain basic rights, like a house, food, health, education, etc. If a job cannot provide these, then they are being exploited and we should stop th

Why do you say that?

I do, I think. No one wants to use a coin that also let's criminals do dark things with even less scrutiny than fiat currencies.

How does that show a lack of empathy?

Well for one, we would attribute behavior we don't want in society to genes and/or the expression of those genes in a particular environment. Future treatment would be to note this, remove it from our genome, and see if said behav

Actually, mainstream superdeterminism would allow us to radically change society and how we view norms. It would lead to radical changes in the criminal justice system for example. It just needs acceptance from people, and there is a lot pe
