Do people believe it because they're told it or do they believe it based on the evidence they're given?
Noone has ever been able to show me any evidence of it or a well thought out proof.
In my education I learned about the earth in context to the universe and the cell, all kinds of things I couldn't independently verify, but the reasoning was sound
Circumstantial evidence is still evidence
It's all we have, not being omniscient
We have more than that.
Data is a collection of anecdotes
I am a math guy and a software guy.
Is math not involved in our understanding of the earth?
Math is a language.
Is that not available to someone who wants to explore the basic reasoning further?
It is used for description but it can also lie.
Most people only know basic algebra.
I just don't agree with the supposition that people believe because they're told. In santa, yes, in sciences, not as much. There are exceptions like vaccines and viruses, but our understanding of the earth has a long history of evidence being honed and the bulk of it is readily available
Are you one of those antivaxxers?
I'm consistent in my belief that human beings have been given the ability to cope with environmental stressors.
haha I agree with you.
Around me and in academic circles you would be called antivaxxer for even questioning these things.
I think a mass exodus to the seas and a rebirth of the age of piracy is one of the most viable way to keep men free low key
Ways *
Nation states infringing on first world folks rights and ability to do things
Just leave the nation state
Rob from the global market
And die for a cause
@Stipler Monke like Somalia? lol
I believe the benefits of the nation state have been evidenced throughout history
But smarter
Human corruption is the same everywhere you go
Somalian pirates are very unorganized
Boat life is rough.
Yes
Ship*
But if you become a reasonable force in the international market by the way of just: selling commodities at bulk and cheap to struggling 3rd world economies at a huge profit because it’s stolen
Piracy but instead of the goal being to benefit only the crew
Let me know how it works out
You generate economies by educating and helping infrastructure to struggling countries
@Stipler Monke all you can sell to third world countries is what you catch at sea. Be nice or they will kill you.
Well obviously
