Most of my claims are speculation, and can only be proven or disproven by the passage of time. The point is that I'm on record making (somewhat poetically non-scientific) predictions. Will you check back in a year?
I'm not happy about the "copypasta" insult though. None of my writing is plagiarized, arguments that are not original to me are called out, and I spent a lot of time and effort tracking down the soundest supporting references I could find.
- koheripbal 6y agoEven speculation should be based on some evidence and/or logic. Pure speculation, even when proven by time, is worthless.
- guscost 6y agoNon-scientific does not mean unfounded. There are plenty of citations provided (from published journal articles and preprints wherever possible) to support my speculation. They're hyperlinks, which is a bit tongue-in-cheek as an editorial choice. > Pure speculation, even when proven by time, is worthless. I can't agree. This essentially argues that all intuition is worthless unless it can be explained. Maybe true in a structured debate, but surely not in life.
