@roka@Umi i think shrimptail actually saved haachama from graduation by aggroing the chinks>The only winning move is not to do business with Winnie the Pooh in the first place.yes
@mystik@augustus@coyote@rasterman@shmibs how about you say something you haven't said before in this threadi'd believe the electric universe theory fits observations more than dark matterwhat's your equivalent for virologyalso cosmic-level stuff doesn't really matter to us since we're not on that scale in either time or space so it's okay if "we don't know what we don't know", but biological processes is way more relevant and you can't really play that card here
@mystik@augustus@coyote@rasterman@shmibs anyone can have theories, their merit is in whether they help inform decisions that give correlation to an intended outcomeif some guy tells you to wash your hands after pooping and before eating, you don't go full autist and say "NO BACTERIOLOGY IS FAKE AND GAY HOW DO YOU EVEN KNOW THESE 'BACTERIA' ARE GIVING ME FOOD POISONING", you wash your hands because it's been observed that people who wash their hands after pooping and before eating get less food poisoning than those that don'tit's like you're so hung up on raising your finger when being asked what zen is just because you saw your hero doing it. if you keep doing it you're going to have to lose that finger
@shmibs@mystik@augustus@coyote@rasterman tbf dark matter is pretty retarded and it's made up by a bunch of people who insist their model is going in the right directionit's like battler suggesting "small bombs" did his family in
@mystik@augustus@coyote@rasterman@shmibs >i'm not going to use any approximations because they're not the truth>i'm not going to use 3.14 for calculating circle geometry because it's not pi>i'm not going to step out of my house because the sidewalk outside is not my destination
@mystik@augustus@coyote@rasterman@shmibs the theory is just a tool, whether people use that tool for what purpose is another matter that can be discussed separatelyso far we know what you're against (virology theory), but what are you for (that explains sickness and contagion)?
@mystik@shmibs@augustus@coyote@rasterman personally i think there are several factors that determine if exposure actually causes an infection or not, like the strength of the immune system, resonant frequencies and whatnotthe virus itself is probably a physical component of it but it's the closest working model we haveunless you have another model that explains why people get sick when they come into contact with sick people
@rasterman@mystik@augustus it probably started out serious but mutated to be less lethal and more transmissive later onhence the early affected regions bearing the brunt of it
