    Is trump a tool being used by the "good guys"?

    Jump

  • Trump's name is almost certainly all over the Epstein files. I think there's an argument to be made that using a tool like that puts you firmly in the "bad guy" camp.

    What are your personal "bicycles of the mind" or "thinking rocks" that you rely on to think or actuate some kind of valuable output?

  • Is there anything about how they originated upon this method?

    I haven't seen anything about this method specifically, but Marsaglia was a mathematician who studied randomness his entire career, so I assume it came about from that.

  • The George Marsaglia mental pseudorandom number generator method:

    • Think of a 2-digit 'seed' number.
    • Multiply the second digit by 6 and add it to the first number.
    • Repeat once.
    • Use the right-most digit of the new number as your random number.

    If you chart the results using a spreadsheet you can see a weak pattern emerge but it's not easily human-predictable, which is what makes it useful to me.

  • For years I drove past a sign for Eastport on my way in to the city centre. No-one every mentions Eastport on the news. I decided it must be the single most boring suburb in the city.

    Last year I realised the sign actually reads like this:

    East

    Port

    And things finally clicked.

  • What is an opposite version of a cult ?

    Jump

  • Lotta downvotes in this thread. Seems like some of you feel like I'm disrespecting your non-beliefs. 😜

  • What is an opposite version of a cult ?

    Jump

  • That’s kind of the opposite of what atheism is about. It’s literally about evidence.

    Maybe I'm being nitpick-y, but I think you're pointing at one small part of the whole and saying "that's it, right there. All of it". Atheism is literally about what you don't do - believe in any god. Some atheists come to that point through consideration and self-reflection. Others don't.

  • I don't like to see science presented as a belief system. Science is a tool for establishing fact about the natural world in a methodical and reproducible way. For debating the existence of gods, you need philosophy.
