Those images of little robots with a ball of braincells on top looks like an image that would be in a montage explaining the lead-up to humanity's destruction. But it sure is nifty.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. You are essentially saying that if you decrease the amount you read but increase the quality of what you are reading, the quality of what you are reading will likely go up. That is bo

If there is an increase in the quality of news consumed it is not the result of the quantity of news consumed decreasing. It would have to be the result of the consumers seeking alternate sources, or some other factor.

In fairness, there is no ethical consumption under capitalism. If you take that to its logical conclusion, then there is no ethical software development that supports capitalist endeavors.

"Okay, you can have a hypothesis, you have to have some evidence against or for that." I view atheism as the null hypothesis, for which you don't need any evidence. It is the de-facto stance for when there is no evidence to

I find the reporting of this as a "data leak", as opposed to a more aggressive term, rather concerning. "UpGuard in its data estimated that up to 14 million customer records were exposed, but Verizon stated that data on 6 mil

So belief without evidence. Do you see how it is non-sensical to then say "misplaced faith in evidence"?

Can you elaborate on what you mean? What definition of "faith" do you think is meant here?

by Stefan-H 9y ago
I disagree with that as an example of a "misplaced faith in evidence". That is coming to the wrong conclusion due to committing a false cause logical fallacy. Drawing the wrong conclusion should not be confused with a "mispl

My point was not that you can't have misplaced faith. But rather can you have misplaced faith in the notion of evidenced based conclusions. If your conclusions are based on evidence, then it isn't faith. It may still be wrong, bu

Can one have a misplaced faith in evidence? Once there is evidence for something, it is not merely faith - faith is conviction without evidence. The whole point of the scientific process is to re-evaluate conclusions when new evidence is pr

Serious science fiction does not need to be bereft of comedy. Satirical science fiction, like many of the works of Vonnegut, are hilarious and ludicrous, but no less science fiction for that fact.
