because we are still here
- yanderekko 4y agoThat's the consequence of them being wrong, not the cause..
- geraldhh 4y agodenying the existence of circular dependencies does not invalidate them
- roenxi 4y agoIf there was an apocalypse cult in ancient Pompeii predicting the mountain would explode and bury everyone with ash, they would not be here. And there easily could have been. This is not an argument, it is a tautology powered by the anthropic principle.
- geraldhh 4y agothat example is a local disaster, not an apocalypse. but yes, there most certainly were people predicting it and they probably didn't get a chance to enjoy being right.
