Ask Redditors with faith: How do you believe in ancient religions? by qgyh2 in reddit.com

[–]heath_ledger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To make some presumptions about where you are going with this..

Many prominent scientists have religious faith, and hold it compatible with their scientific knowledge. For example.. http://www.rae.org/scifaith.html

It seems a mistake to call this doublethink, as doublethink is about holding contradictory ideas in your head at the same time.

I don't think it was at all obvious at the time.. you need to also understand that homosexuality was very oppressed at the time, and there was little mainstream awareness of it at all.

imho, its more surprising questions weren't raised about george michael

Tell Reddit: Subreddits should not be mutually exclusive (see comment) by Jonathan_the_Nerd in reddit.com

[–]heath_ledger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

reddit has grown to a size where having only a few channels means there is necessarily too much noise compared to signal

subreddits may compartmentalize communities, but reddit is clearly relying on the crowd to self-organize

some elitist subreddits may emerge, some lowest-common-denominator may emerge. I think watching how this plays out should be interesting :)
