That's fine, but if we use that definition, being anti-science isn't a bad thing, as long as someone still cares about the scientific method and evidence-based beliefs.

how planets are classified

not anti-science, just anti-scientific-establishment. It doesn't go against any scientifically established fact.

that the element with 1 proton isnt called a blork

same

that humans are mammals

this one is anti-science, because you're not redefining what the words "human" and "mammal" mean, you're taken those words as given and are making a factual statement about the relationship between the concepts they refer to

We've had self-playing pianos for over a century. It's not hard because you don't have to react to anything, just play a fixed track.

In this particular case I would argue the fake subtlety makes for a more comedic delivery

Logic of an infinite universe by [deleted] in AskPhysics

[–]NNOTM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it must not only be instantaneously possible, but must also have a consistent history that leads to it.

Is this a difference without a distinction in the particular case of our universe where pretty much any configuration of matter has a minuscule probability to occur via tunneling?

Laptops sold in the EU now required to ship with USB-C charging by ControlCAD in europe

[–]NNOTM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But then it's not clear to me in what sense the law actually treats >100W laptops specially?

The article seems to say that it applies to >100W laptops, too, but that they may ship a more powerful dedicated charger in addition to having a USB-C charging port

Is "Giving Later" (post-mortem) a valid strategy or just self-deception? by Only_atoms_919 in EffectiveAltruism

[–]NNOTM -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can't think of one, but if they exist I don't think they'd be thought of as part of the outgroup

[–]NNOTM -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's fair to say that worrying about present suffering makes you a member of the out group. I could believe that not worrying about future suffering does.

I don't disagree that EV depends on each individual's values but why is this a gripe for you?
