  • I'm happier with non-belief, than squirming through the exercise of deciding what to believe and disbelieve under the unchecked presumption that we must believe something.

    Even more so for the distinct "believing in" something.

  • if the universe has an infinite lifespan (as current models suggest) then we would almost certainly be Boltzmann brains

    Sounds like presuming some place further along in an infinite set. We may still be in an early iteration at the start, as plain as it seems.

  • Too many cut themselves on Occam's razor, incorrectly presuming all else equal.

  • Where would we find the citation you say is needed, for what you do not believe?

  • The map is not the terrain.

    Somewhere between naive realism and "some stupid past time fun", there are maps.

  • I like maps. I like puzzles. Astrology's both.

    First got intrigued when in my ignorant militant atheism dogma phase, and someone managed to discern my sun sign, just by my appearance and behaviours. I have since gone on to do the same to others, typically with as much world-view-changing astonishment in them as I experienced.

    Can't be bunk if that can be done.

    The observable profiling reality of it, does open minds to wondering about what's the astrological weather like.

  • Maybe can cure some diseases.

    Even just via the comfort provided. Comfort enough, to get into a parasympathetic dominant mode long enough for the body to heal itself.

  • More chance of that if offered, than not.

  • Wesley is Picard’s kid right?

    Jump

  • I don't think that's when he first met Beverly. Might have been when first met Wesley though.

    Fairly sure Jean-Luc and Beverly have more history further back. ... Though I'm struggling to think of episode to cite that references their past. ... Maybe after this next watch through of all TNG, it'll refresh my memory.

  • It's pleasing seeing this.

    The trek series I'm writing would work well, in terms of more episodes for less money.

  • In Another Thread about ‘D S 9’ & Challenged Characters, I Came-Up with This Why This Series Not Happened Yet, & Thus An Idea for A Brandnew ‘Star Trek’ Series

    Jump

  • FYI, Sheldon's name's spelled with a d, not a t.

    I think one main reason we've not seen such a series, is because of the negative backlash boy wonder Wesley Crusher got.

    If done well, I'd love to see a flawed-genius trek.

    [PS, Sheldon's my fave TBBT (&YS) character, and the DS9 episodes with those genetically engineered characters are my fave, and they're my fave side characters of all star trek (up there with the traveller, tuvix, & kai opaca). IMO exceptional brilliance aught not be shied away from.]

  • I Am Watching ‘Deep Space 9’ & Something has Slowly Developed into A Complaint & Un-Able to Understand- The Challenges of 2-Genetically Engineered Friends of Dr. Bashir.

    Jump

  • Their biggest challenge, their biggest hurdle, their biggest impediment to being free to contributing to society, is not in them, but in the rules on them, based on the well founded fears of creating a race to the bottom with a million Khans seeking to take over and rule over everybody else (like happened before), if genetic engineering were considered acceptable. This is covered in the side conversations had in the episodes featuring them.

    Not completely distinct from neurodiversity challenges. The biggest hurdle being from society not built to accommodate us.

  • Sweet burn! :D

    Janeway, we got you pegged.

    The murder of Tuvix pained me more than anything else done in Voyager.

    Jump

  • I'd rather offer refutations and sound cogent counter-arguments, than leave them to run off unchallenged, doubling down with a sense of being right and up against the evil censors, conspiring in whatever echo chamber of bigotry they then find themselves welcomed to.
