  • I would prefer if he did, and it turned out it was all a deranged fanfic by Regemont Barkley.

  • What popular belief do you disagree with?

  • But it is. The lack of evidence for unicorns is evidence there are no unicorns. That's how evidence works.

    If someone makes the claim they are required to provide proof, they have the burdon of proof. If no proof is to be found it can be rejected. Hence, Hitchen's Razor.

  • Plenty of things in the world deserve to be ridiculed and slandered.

  • Interesting. So the honey industry might not even be as under threat as it lets on.

  • All interpretatioms of what's beyond are equally valid.

    Why? Things in reality don't work that way.

    Occam's Razor is not the only tool; Hitchen's Razor makes for a very good bullshit filter. And so far anything about the afterlife, or even the entire concept of the afterlife to begin with, is entirely asserted without evidence.

  • I mean... We still don't know why the honey bee is dying (yes, specifically the honey bee. Other bees seem to be doing OK).

    Yes, it could be the industry, or it could be climate change, or it could be the use of pesticides... But while it could be all of those things, none of those things fit entirely.

    So even if a whole lot of people are willing to do something to prevent the honey bee population from going poof... We wouldn't know what to do exactly.

  • I should check it out. Thanks for the suggestion.

  • I've had everything and everyone try to assert their beliefs. If nobody has ever approached you about anything then you've been very lucky indeed.

    Anything from Jehova's Witnesses and their dumb little pamphlets, Muslims blaring prayers across the street while displaying billboards on intelligent design, to scientologists starting the most disingenuous arguments.

    These are fairly normal occurrences in cities. Perhaps not so much in the countryside, but even then I've had the Christian priest always casually bringing up joining Sunday mass.

  • This is not a popular belief. There are more religious people in the world than none religious people.

    But to your point; there exists no evidence that there is something after death, certainly not in the wishful thinking way people do. Ergo, there is nothing after death.

  • Redacted

    Jump

  • Honestly, though... What did you guys expect? To me it was very obvious since day 1 that if the files were released it'd be heavily redacted.

    I didn't think it was going to be redacted to this comical degree, but I knew it would be redacted to the point of being useless.

  • There are a handful, but they're either too mundane for the typical conspiracy guy, or actually invalidate certain conspiracies.

    Like climate change deniers. They believe that climate change is created by scientists to make more money or by shadow government to keep people in line with fear, or some combination of both.

    The real conspiracy is, however, that Exxon Mobile knew about climate change 11 years before scientists at large discovered it and spent all that time creating the climate denying talking points we all know and love.

  • You cannot have equity without first enforcing equality. Otherwise equity just becomes spoiled entitled behavior.

    Equality is absolute.

  • Used to believe that humanity would inherently self-improve, especially the more easily information became accessible.

    People couldn't read and write at first, and didn't know much about the world, and now we have instant communication and access to vast repositories of knowledge.

    I believed that people were naturally curious, and wanted to learn and figure things out. Education systems sucked, but with improvement it could foster that curiosity in everyone!

    Turns out that was incredibly naive. Humans have an inherent ego that tries to make themselves more than reality. Their problems are more real than another's. Their inconveniences are more important than anything bigger-picture. I thought religion were old dinosaur structures of primitive belief systems that lasted for too long, but humans will literally make shit up or believe in some made up shit from someone else if it helps them ignore the inconveniences of reality.

    COVID-19 really helped sink that in.
