Knowledge is a deadly friend If no one sets the rules

Academic fan overanalyzing whatever currently has my attention Feel free to yell at me with all your thoschei thoughts Fair warning: arguing with me is like wrestling in mud with a pig (hint: after 15 minutes you start to realize the pig is enjoying herself) she/her header image created by the wonderful Linguistwho: https://linguistwho.tumblr.com/post/624655714448801793/word-of-the-day-day-680-leo-happy-space

I don't think I make it clear enough, but whenever I post a hot take I WANT TO BE DISAGREED WITH! There's little I value more than an honest discussion! Point out to me holes in my reasoning and you shall gain a Skyrim follower that will be thy most stalwart shield should really bad takes assault thee! Regardless of whether you convince me to your viewpoint or not!

Arguing (not quarreling. arguing.) is literally my love language which is prolly why I like thoschei so much!

there are a lot of really good ancient roman laws but i think my favorite is that, if you got struck by lightening and died, you couldnt have a proper burial because it meant that the gods hated you

[ancient-rome-au]

“Jupiter cancelled him and we’re not going to question that”

[antique-scarecrow]

genuinely asking: how would these laws apply to that guy who got struck by lightning on seven separate occasions but survived every time?

[nanarchy]

I think I would have assumed Zeus was trying to fuck him.

create, consume, cavort, commune

create: bring something to life consume: appreciate the art of another cavort: move your body daily commune: have a community to socialize with

okay if you haven't yet, participate in the poll before clicking the readmore because I'm gonna respond to someone's tags and I don't want to influence your answer

so first of all this is a poll where I've prompted people to play pretend with imaginary dice and I cannot comprehend what assumptions you'd have to make to think this is a question with a correct answer.

but if it did have a "correct answer", surely the correct answer would be whatever the most likely result of the sum of two six-sided dice rolls is, right? and that's seven. because there are more ways for the results of two six-sided dice to add to seven than anything else. like, it makes perfect sense that the results of this poll are what they are. what are you talking about.

Honestly a small but very significant part of the reason that we ended up here is because, over the course of the last hundred years or so, humanity has amassed a huge amount of research and knowledge on how to most effectively convince a person of something (cognitively, psychologically, neurophysiologically, etc.)

And then 90% of scientists, researchers, government officials, reporters, etc. who had a conscience all decided that it would be super unethical to act on pretty much any of that research, we have to convince people on the merit of the ideas alone--

And as a result, the only people who actually implemented most of that research on how to effectively change someone's mind were people who didn't care about ethics

...yeah. we gotta get on that. (WITH ETHICS)
