While people shouldn’t be shunned for being fat, it is always unhealthy. Stupid myths about HAES also cause a lot of harm and even death

I’m an engineer and it’s within the margin of safety

Ah that’s fair, I think I might’ve been injected other related conversations I’ve seen into this one. My bad!

Isn’t MOND largely discounted by the results we’ve gotten from JWST so far?

I honestly I’m surprised how much of a problem this is for people. All I’ve done is made sure to hit the “not interested” type buttons on YouTube and tiktok whenever they pop up, and I’ve run into next to nothing after like 3 times of doing that. Sometimes I’ll watch something the algorithm thinks is adjacent to ragebait or alt-right bullshit so it’ll try to feed it to me, and after not-interested’ing the video it goes back to feeding me the stuff I actually want…

Do people just not use those features or is my experience with the algorithms really that different?

Lowe’s definitely made lots of USD getting the pharaohs to think the pyramids were a good idea

The arguments some people make is that if it’s likely there’s so many other civilizations out there, then why haven’t we found any evidence of any of them? You have Great Filter and Dark Forest theories that try to explain it, both of which would likely be very bad for humanity.

But it all forgets that we really haven’t searched much of even our own solar system in incredible detail, so it’s very possible we either haven’t looked in the right places, or don’t have the tech in place to see civilizations

I mean your argument stumbles at the exact point of my original comment. We have no reason to think it has any form of consciousness, and therefore no reason to believe it’s omniscient. On top of that, even if it was conscious, arguing it’s omniscient because it’s omnipresent assumes that it isn’t a collection of distinct consciousnesses and is instead one giant being, which we also have no reason to believe one possibility over the other.

Agreed, the big issue with their argument here is that “god” implies sentience, which isn’t something we have any reason to assume exists for whatever’s at the “stop somewhere” point. If energy was the starting point for example, I doubt these people would be down with calling heat a god
