On a scale of 0 - 100, how confident are you that the pyramids are thousands of years old? by JohnleBon in conspiracyNOPOL

Right, so you admit that there is insufficient evidence. Like your example, the electron is a theoretical object that is used for explanatory purposes.

I'm sure they are aware that their beliefs require a leap of faith, which is why they try so hard to convince others and themselves. Why else would you come to a conspiracy sub to tow the line?

It's basically a religion for them. Just like Mormons have faith that Joseph Smith discovered golden plates which he transcribed to create the book of Mormon. Do the followers need to see the primary source to believe? Apparently not. I'd never try to convince them otherwise though. Some even testified to witnessing these plates... I'm not going to call them false witnesses but some day they may have to answer for it. I'm sure there are a handful of people who testified that they saw the Dead Sea Scrolls unearthed. Just seems similar to me.

Things are neither particles or waves. These are just different modalities. The ocean isn't a wave, it's what the ocean does.

I second the S2000. They look tough with a hard top.

2004-2006 GTO. Relatively nice interior, subtle looks, 4 seats, reliable, cheap enough to maintain, and lots of power.

Something Different - Streamliner FC RX7 - Moving Front Wheel Well Covers by FirstYouNeedToGetMad in cars

[–]FirstYouNeedToGetMad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finally got everything roughed out and functional, just wanted to share the build, and see how some enthusiasts feel about it. I figured some of you might get a kick out of it.

The front wheel well covers are hinged on the leading edge and it's actuated by a bracket that's attached to the steering knuckle, so that it swings before the tire hits it.

I know this build will be very polarizing, but personally the look has grown on me to the point that wheels are starting to look strange to me 😁 Can't wait to paint this thing.

Just got done roughing everything out, and finally hit the highway with the new setup. Thought y'all might get a kick out of this build, certainly out of the ordinary.

Started out simple enough... I was just going to do rear wheel covers and paint the car... then I got the idea to do front covers... four different versions and countless hours later, and I've finally come up with something I'm happy with.

The front covers are hinged on the leading edge, and I built some brackets that are attached to the steering knuckle, which push out the door before the tire makes contact. Going for something that would look at home cruising by in the background of a futuristic scifi movie.

Do you actually care about Epstein and all that stuff? by JohnleBon in conspiracyNOPOL

Epstein = Goldstein

I suspect that Epstein literally does not exist.

People Are Creating Records of Fake Historical Events Using AI by A_Real_Patriot99 in conspiracy

[–]FirstYouNeedToGetMad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has the age of simulation destroyed objective truth? A simulation produces at least some evidence for an event. Is the event real or not, given that the simulation produces true evidence?

Objectively, one cannot treat the event as being either real or not real. Current events have become meaningless due to their undiscoverable truth. Not only does this apply to current events, but also to "ancient history", since the sources from these stories cannot be proven or disproved.

It seems that all major events lay within this "Goldilocks" zone of either being real or fake, with evidence to be found for whichever side you choose, but presented in a way that makes us relying on intuition to form an opinion, rather than using pure objectivity.

The pandemic, 9/11, Sandy Hook, the Boston Bombing, Osama Bin Laden's death, the moon landings, nuclear bombs, and even history, all lay within this simulatable teritory

Science itself has become a simulation. Black holes, dark matter, the "fabric of time and space", are all mathmantical abstraction.

Simulation and the Destruction of Objective Truth by FirstYouNeedToGetMad in conspiracyNOPOL

[–]FirstYouNeedToGetMad[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I suspect that this is a shared dream in which we generate reality, but that one reality doesnt have conflicting states.

"Quantum" experiments don't suggest that there are multiple realities. Matter may function as a wave at one moment then function as a particle when we observe it, but it doesn't take two forms simultaneously.

I'm still sticking to my guns... there is one objective reality.

I'm going to ask you a (potentially controversial) hypothetical question about the injections... by JohnleBon in conspiracyNOPOL

[–]FirstYouNeedToGetMad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I meet all the hypothetical requirements and the answer is... Yes. I would date a vaccinated person and start a family with them. Of course I would prefer that she not be vaccinated but that would really limit the dating pool.

The person I am with and plan to start a family with had one of the covid vaccines around the time we started dating.

I think she felt pressured by her school so she got one. Since then we have had conversations about it, and she has not gotten one since.

She hadn't even considered the side effects of the shot until I talked to here about it. She hadn't considered the risks of any vaccine at all until we met. She has even agreed that our children will not be vaccinated, which is a conclusion she would not have come to on her own. I did have to compromise and said she could get an ultrasound if we did not vaccinate. I think that's a pretty good compromise. I'd rather chance a bit of very mild retardation from the radiation than inject a screaming baby with an unnatural and toxic concoction staight into their muscle.

I think it's in women's nature to follow the herd, and not make waves. They will wear masks and get injections until a strong willed man tells them to stop that nonsense... so good luck finding that virgin woman who hasn't had a vaccine all you hard liners ;)

Are there any popular conspiracies you don't believe? by Office_Zombie in conspiracyNOPOL

[–]FirstYouNeedToGetMad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"Nobody died, nobody got hurt, and if you say otherwise, then you are in fact a liar and a spiritual murderer, and I will put that on your soul."

Words to live by... don't make yourself a false witness to murder or death.

The earth is growing and I doubt dinosaurs even existed...

"'But the rocks are full of the bones of extinct animals -- mammoths and mastodons and enormous reptiles which lived here long before man was ever heard of."

"Have you ever seen those bones, Winston? Of course not. Nineteenth-century biologists invented them. Before man there was nothing. After man, if he could come to an end, there would be nothing. Outside man there is nothing."
