maybe figuring out how to enjoy whatever is going on is more important than speeding through it to the next thing and the next and the next

but you can’t! are you personally able to verify the results of every scientific investigation ever performed? think about what’s currently happening in psychology. loads of old foundational studies have been found to be irreproducible. and yet people had faith that they were conducted honestly and appropriately

yes but you still have to have faith in the ability of another person to do science and not falsify evidence

but to people with faith, their faith is evidence-based

can you elaborate? I’m not sure what your point is

yeah except that logic relies on base assumptions, which are ultimately chosen based on gut feelings

good luck defining where facts end and beliefs begin. ultimately science is a belief, even if it is evidence-based

did you just not read the last paragraph??

if it feels like a waste of time then you have done it for long enough. put on some light music, relax on the couch, and make yourself comfortable. the time will pass anyways and the laundry can wait 30 minutes

all opinions are ultimately inconsistent with reality in some way, indicating that they all do really originate from somewhere within ourselves

oh no!! good thing that doesn’t impact anything

huh?

“they” uses the same number of characters as “s/he” and flows more naturally

it’s had offline navigation for years now

google maps can do that too though

unfortunately in reality it is a curved line on a sphere

that doesn’t necessarily mean it is possible though. just to be clear

they’re still people

it’s a completely unrelated novel series. set in space and clearly sci fi, but has castles, dueling, war games, and peasants
