I do believe that people operate at different vibrational frequencies...like you know the person who comes in the room and there's just a creepy dark energy? It happens. Its not voodoo weird stuff but there's definitely a 6th sense about people that's present.

It's more likely a collection of more mundane unconscious observations using all of your more normal senses that get very quickly consolidated in to one intuitive sense of dubious reliability but which in the absence of better information keeps you a bit safer.

Destructive dunking is not a constructive way to spread the word of the lord science

I still ain't got no sushi dammit. I blame past me. They were, well, occupied by board games.

I don't need to believe in Wi-Fi I just need to see that my phone is connected to the internet. The existence of Wi-Fi can be inferred by me having access to YouTube.

Negative energy can never be removed, only transferred. He obviously didn't like you, the skeptic, so he transferred all the negative energy into you from your other co-workers. /s

The only real magic is friendship.

When the results are inseparable, then complexity is the only element, it doesn't prove anything, but it does bias.

Also, most gods don't fall into this debate. Most gods would be quite happy interfering. This is (in principle) distinguishable from the null. It was aimed primarily at the simulation hypothesis. A perfect simulation is indistinguishable from a base reality.

Our best ideas on the big bang put the universe as huge, but finite in space. (Way bigger than the observable universe) The question is time. If time is infinite then Boltzmann brains win.

Matter has a finite life, energy differentials run out. Stars run out of fuel. Black holes evaporate. Even protons eventually fall apart to energy. Then there is endless emptiness.

That emptiness would be finite in space, but infinite in time. Without that last boundary, weird things happen to maths.

And magnets.

That shit interacts unlike any other object we normally encounter.

No sushi and no garlic coffee

DAMMIT i swear on my not so dead mother's grave I keep remembering at 230 and if I have too late, you know?

It could power stuff. Tesla was working on it, and there have been a few small companies over the years that have done it.

Just turns out that it's not very practical compared to a wall socket.

I've lost interest 🥱

What if you vibrate into an alternate universe, but the Earth isn't in the same place?

You got this, king!

NO, put down the taser!

I have bigger fish to fry but this one is on the list

I'd say every belief in the entirety of my socialization as a child was formed through bullying of some sort. You try something, people laugh, mock, beat, harass, it feels bad, your social brain says that was bad, you remember it because it feels bad, you adjust and don't repeat to avoid feeling bad again.

That's how human communities select for behaviour.

As an adult I'd say whether I like it or not I've become increasingly more tolerant of conservatives because of them shoving their shit down our throats everywhere. Things I'd consider so absurd they're not worth the time of day are now ideas that seem almost sensible enough to warrant a rebuttal. I don't like it, but they hold all the cards and make the rules and it works well for them, imo.

oh yeah that makes sense

If you appeal to heat death then you cannot say brains pop back into existence either because "matter has a finite life," and so it is self-defeating. If brains can pop back into existence due to random fluctuations then surely planets and stars could as well given enough time.

The energy to spontaneously create a planet is vastly more than a brain. Then again, with the weird maths of infinities, it might play out.

Though to recreate the full illusion would require something closer to the big bang itself.

It's well into the "here he dragons" realms of science however. Speculating well beyond reliable evidence.

That's really cool, I didn't know that.

Aw, but I supported him. Magic is stupid but I like cool rocks.

To be honest... electric field you are surrounded by every day most likely affects you more than position of Saturn on the night sky... But people who claim that new tech is causing medical issues are considered crackpots.

Believing in astrology is much safer.

Through the modial interaction of magnetoreluctance and capacitive diractance... https://youtu.be/Ac7G7xOG2Ag

If you believe in pragmatism, that's just semantics. A statement is reasonable or valid to the extent that it is useful.

No, the pragmatic stance is to pick the side that is more helpful and useful. That may or may not be neutral.

Meditation has a lot of science behind it, it's not a religious thing, at least not any more so than reading and writing is a religious thing.

Well that begs the question though, why do some people find it fun and cute? Because they want to believe there's a lazy easy way to figure things out without doing the hard work of the scientific process.

From that perspective i find astrology to be harmful and dangerous, although unfortunately ive had no success convincing anyone of that. I suppose some humans just like harmful and dangerous things and perhaps evolutionarily our species evolved to have a large number of those people.

Allopathic?

You've obviously never been ghost hunting.

I mean, I have certainly wandered through many an abandonded, functionally cursed place when I was homeless for about 2 years.

And I could have just brought a portable radio and randomly dialed through FM/AM stations, pausing for a few second on something stable, then going back to static.

... but I didn't need a radio to see the echoes of what had happened at the places I'd been.

'Environmental Storytelling' isn't just a thing in video games.

WiFi uses all three. (Yes, even vibration, AFAIK the clocks inside both computers use piezoelectric quartz crystals)

Crystals do fix negative energy in a very simple way ! Feeling negative ? Just look at a crystal, crystals are pretty. Now you feel less negative, ta-dah !

I have multiple salt lamps for this reason. The magic of being a very pretty glowing crystal works wonders on me when I feel down x)

I have no reason to take your truth-claims seriously if you admit that they're not actually truth-claims.

my truth-claims?
