"My hobby: extrapolating."
We aren't living in 1400 anymore. Show me the facts - and I'll believe you. And if all your argumentation is based on mental gymnastics only, then you don't have a place in science or technology.
- chmike 10y agoMy reference to the american continents is what in science is called a demonstration by analogy. What about dark matter ? Is that mental gymnastic ? This is pure rational and objective logic. Prove me wrong on anything and I will be glad to reconsider my actual understanding of things. My goal is getting closer to the truth without making errors. Rejecting hypothesis whose validity is UNKNOWN is taking a risk of making an error. And this is what I don't want.
- Indolat 10y ago> This is pure rational and objective logic. You know nothing about rationality, objectivity and logic. And the fact that you're trying to silence me by downvoting doesn't make your "arguments" look better at all. So much for your argument against "censorship". > Prove me wrong on anything http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_luwcg4ArMF1r6yihbo1_500.jpg http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_luwcg4ArMF1r6yihbo1_500.jp...
- chmike 10y agoI didn't downvote you. I think your comments respect the standard of Hacker News. They offer me the opportunity to express and justify my current understanding. I shouldn't have qualified your comment as stupid. My bad.
