but uh

you guys did

I tried to stay calm

but uh

you guys cut me off

I just wanna have a quiet debate

which is why I stick to text most of the time

I can actually speak and not be judged on how high my voice sounds

or have mods actively trying to find dirt on me

you guys are cool people

like actually cool people

just vc debates are too loud and violent

I have chest pains rn because of how stressful it is to address 5 people at once

I never tried to find dirt on you. I was using the Socratic method to determine why you believe in some science/date from NASA and you take their word as scripture. But when Nasa says something you do not agree with suddenly they're not to be trusted or you attempt to engage in mental gymnastics to try and avoid what was being said by questioning the verbiage used or trying to say we do not understand their clear intent in the conclusion.

To be clear I was not insulting you, not one single time. That is not my style.

usually there are three things I see in these types of debates
1.) the usage of the word "scripture", whether it be science or religion, to affirm someone's believe as correct
2.) Usage of condescending tones and constant affirmation of ones belief
3.) The misuse and misunderstanding of the connotation and/or denotation of the English language

Of course I'm collecting bits and pieces for more points I see

but all will be addressed in my eventual essays on the topic

Again you completely avoided answering my questions and instead are trying to inject or superimpose or redefine what you think I meant by the verbiage I chose to use. I meant precisely what I said there is and was no nefarious intent in what I said to you. It was trying to nail down what you believe 100%.

^ point 4 which I can't think of a name to describe it

I just need more time

kinda hard to compete against people who've studied for longer than you've been alive

I'll get to it within the next few months

Going forward don't try to read into or redefine the language I used to fit your argument. Thanks friend.

wait what

Oof

@Sciwave

aren't all those pictures with divergent rays altered pictures

they don't look like it was taken by a cellphone

and that cardboard divergent illustration

the beams look *way* too bright with the hand being still illuminated

the light source to have pure white beams would have to be really powerful
