  • If eating a banana is ~0.1μSv, then what is holding a banana for an hour?

  • "Cancer risk" can be a lot of things. It's not like cancer is just one disease - it's a whole family of diseases. The mechanisms by which something increases cancer risk are many and frequently poorly understood.

    Fortunately, the mechanism of action of ionizing radiation and the cancer risks associated with it are well understood, and so we know that bananas are not dangerous.

    ( well, they're not dangerous because they are radioactive. It could turn out that they're dangerous for some other reason.)

  • There's a real important question here: do you have solar panels?

    Otherwise I think it's gonna be board games...

  • It is one in our hearts.

  • How important is chemistry/attraction? Can it develop over time?

    Jump

  • Oh! I meant "practitioners" like regular folks. Not therapists. I don't need my therapist to do tarot with me, I can do that a home.

    But it would be nice to have a "coven" or "church" or whatever but where everyone recognizes that the rituals are psychological rather than actual magic.

  • This rule appeared to me in a dream.

  • Does the square root function always give a positive and negative answer?

    Yes. But in real systems you can usually know what the sign will be from context.

  • Average westoid logic. May your troops burn in hell 🔥

    Jump

  • Ooh, ooh, can we start with the Commander in Chief? Why did the assassins have to miss 😥

  • What the hell is even going on at this point?

    Jump

  • Oh, definitely. I don't thing a good dictator can exist - even if you put the most moral, ethical, upstanding person you can imagine in charge - but I was accepting that premise for the sake of argument to show the other problems with that model (i.e. that a single point of failure is bad).

    Having one person make all the decisions unilaterally just amplifies their flaws and tends to place them in an echo chamber where they are insulated from reality, common sense, and the consequences of their actions by a group of mewling, scheming sycophants.

  • What the hell is even going on at this point?

    Jump

  • Definitely! It's a bad system all around.

  • When I left religion, I had to grapple with the fact that praying had really worked for me. If I wasn't talking to anyone, then why did prayer work so well?

    The conclusion that I came to is that it allowed me to open a dialogue with myself. In other words, it was what today we'd call "shadow work" or "talking to your subconscious."

    Now that I no longer believe in god, prayer just doesn't quite work the same. But I find tarot fills that niche pretty well.

    Unfortunately it's hard to find other secular tarot practitioners.

  • Unfortunately science and research don't support tarot card readings

    You might want to check again :)

    I'm not saying that they predict the future or anything. That would be pretty unscientific. But the phenomenon where you engage with a story, or a work of art (like a painting, sculpture, whatever) and thereby create meaning and understand yourself better is pretty well documented. It's the same principle - the cards give you something to think about and the free association process draws out thoughts and emotions you might not have known about.

    Of course, you can accomplish the same thing by reading a story or some poetry or going to an art museum. Or just taking a long walk and letting yourself think. Whatever works for you is what you should do!

  • ‘R-tarded’ is a slur, and I’m sick of otherwise “liberal” people going along with the right’s move to renormalize it

    Jump

  • That's a great point, but I don't see how that would justify using this specific word.

  • I don't think a benevolent dictator would do the world good.

    No one should have that much power. If nothing else, because it tends to drive said person mad. Just look at how paranoid Stalin was.

    Also, the entire idea of a dictator involves rule by force. That's exactly the kind of thing we would prefer to get away from. All laws involve force, yes, but the more we can move away from violence and towards peaceful cooperation the better off humanity will be.
