It's an invitation to confabulate rationalistic nonsense when the correct answer is to just say "we don't know the nature of lightning yet." That doesn't mean we can't come up with theories, but they have to be disregarded when they don't predict anything in a falsifiable way.
- naasking 3y agoThe fact that any human is conscious is non-falsifiable, so it seems like you're suggesting we throw out the concept entirely.

I really wish everyone was more comfortable saying “I don’t know yet,” instead of just making shit up.
