This is a projection of your inner state onto the word and not the word itself. It truly is a mystery. Like most things.

This is a projection of your inner state onto the word and not the word itself. It truly is a mystery. Like most things.
- baxtr 2y agoI wonder almost daily why anything at all exists. It’s an absolute mystery. Why isn’t there just void? So here we are on a tiny planet alone. Alone? How did we get here? Are we living in a simulation? Maybe we are in Sim Planet game for another entity? All of our existence is mystery.
- card_zero 2y agoBeing in a simulation only makes the question more complicated, in a "turtles all the way down" style.

- baxtr 2y agoNah, what’s the point of living then anyway? It’s sounds smart but if you look past it you realize it’s just nihilistic.
- netsharc 2y agoIf you've got a better "*istic", you're free to convince people that's the way...
- baxtr 2y agoI don’t. But I invite you to answer my question!
- netsharc 2y agoMeh, great way of making your problem mine. The point is: just to enjoy the fleeting moment of consciousnees? Oh no, I bet you won't be satisfied with this answer and you want more...
- baxtr 2y agoActually I think that’s a good answer! I think it’s worth enjoying every moment that we have. And to be focused. Is it my preferred answer? I guess not :)
- allemagne 2y agoIn the context of a news headline the decision to use the word "mysterious" and "detected" obviously implies a different kind of significance than the inherent mystery in all things. Other comments in this thread already bring up science fiction movies and other radiation-related disasters, I don't think OP is that much out on a limb here.
- s1artibartfast 2y agoI think that is projection too. Mysterious can mean exciting, unknown, and curious. Why does this bother people? it isn't like the article is inducing mass hysteria.
- card_zero 2y agoThe article itself vacillates. > we've seen this phenomenon before > I said, 'Wow, this is something really new' > it's unsurprising > Even so [...] what they saw surprised them. I mean that's nerdy scientists for you, they get so into their thing it's kind of disgusting. I watched a documentary about volcanos once, it had a husband and wife team, they were just enthusing endlessly about their particular volcano that they were studying and it really turned me off. This was about 20 years ago and as a result I still hate vulcanologists, they totally overdid the sales pitch.
- s1artibartfast 2y agoI can only assume you are sarcastic about your hate for scientists that love their work.
- mock-possum 2y agoIs it projection, or just a matter of media literacy? We know what the radiation belt is, where it is, and where it came from; so why exactly is this a ‘mystery?’
- s1artibartfast 2y agoGreat, so we should cancel all scientific research because everything is known. The universe exists: QED. no need to explain or understand phenomenon beyond them having a name
- 52-6F-62 2y agoThese people are completely unreasonable. It’s actually getting harder and harder to even play devil’s advocate for the sake of ensuring we aren’t collectively ensnaring ourselves in destructive biases. They think everything worth knowing is known. Art is “solved” as a problem. Science is absolute (even though science and math all reduce to nil by their own definition). We’re seeing the steep rise of a new form of dogmatism unlike anything before save for theocracies. This thread is all bickering about words and context that weren’t even present! It’s painful.
- 52-6F-62 2y agoThey say as much. They’ve never seen it before, and it’s measurable. So this means they can study it for the first time. It literally is a mystery lol.
- szundi 2y agoSo true.
