Your life and your quest end here.


Trivial Pursuit is a loving terrible game. Trivia contests are fine, but when you introduce the board and dice you ruin it. It takes about nine years to complete a game because of all the dice rolling and the fact that most questions you answer don't even earn you any points. You can get six questions right in a row and get nothing for it. It's almost as bad as Monopoly.

Thing is, none of these are good arguments for not washing your hands. They're deflections of "Yeah, but this is also dirty." and "Well, it's not as bad as this." Washing your hands is a good habit that actively reduces contaminants and it takes you a couple of minutes. What is the direct argument for not doing it after using the bathroom? How does it make things worse than not doing it?

It is impossible to directly experience and perceive the external world as it really is. It is also impossible to completely disprove the existence of fairies, unicorns, demons, angels, cryptids, psychic phenomena, magic, deities, vampires, werewolves, ghosts, parallel universes, and many other things. So I am actually completely free to believe in these things, or entertain the possibility, however remote, that these entities and concepts are truly real. We can never be certain that these things, and things we can't conceive of, are not actually real, no matter how well we map and measure the physical universe. And it is entirely possible that the models we have formed of the physical universe are incomplete. So I can go right ahead and believe that pixies, goblins, banshees, butt probe aliens, and more are totally real and not mere fictions. And at the very least, these concepts are things which do exist in the human imagination and therefore are products of the universe in exactly the same way that galaxies, trees, atoms, black holes, fungi, bacteria, volcanoes, etc. are all products of the universe, all part of an ongoing event of change. So fairies and dragons and incubi and manticores and Medusa and Cerebus and the Laws of Sympathy and Contagion are all just as really real as elephants, cars, electromagnetism, asteroids, DNA, continental drift, and so on.

Yeah yeah, neuroscience and physics and all that bullshit. But we only know of these things because we perceive them, and i've already explained that our perceptions can be completely wrong, completely different from what actually exists, since it's impossible to perceive the world directly without filtering it through our senses, which in turn create an illusion of the world. So our own minds are telling us that these scientific facts and theories are "true". But why should I trust that? It could all be wrong. We could be living in the Matrix, for all we know. Fairies or pixies or goblins could be loving with our minds, creating illusions that we believe are true. Maybe we're all dreaming in one mass collective hallucination.

Now, you might say "Ah, but Blue Star, if you behave in such a fashion, you run the risk of harming yourself and others. Would you ignore a doctor's advice in favor of voodoo magic?" To which I'll say, "bitch I do what I want." Also,Halloween is coming up.

The Universe is a living thing and sentient intelligent life is the way the Cosmos observes itself. That's what Carl Sagan said and I agree with him.

I think the people who embrace that Sagan quote should take it further. We are not just a part of the universe observing itself; we're also a part of the universe making choices for itself. It began with non-life, and then life appeared, and then sentient life appeared, and this is all progressing towards a final and eternal transcendent state.

All I can say about living in the Matrix is that rational decision-making will lead towards an equilibrium steady state where the choices you make would be the same whether you thought you lived in the Matrix or not, which you correctly point out is a plausible reality that we're unlikely to learn the answer to.

I'm tired of hearing about money, money, money, money, money. I just want to play the game, drink Pepsi, wear Reebok.
I like Tarot because the art and history is cool, but I also like it because the number of card combinations is potentially astronomical, so there are enough combos that anyone can get a unique sequence. Although it may not, strictly speaking, be good science or application of statistics, I like that there are so many combos that there is probably a true reading in there, cold-reading aside. A 3-card reading has nearly half a million possible draws.

The Buddhist monk I-hsiu, from the Kōan of "Dining with a General", comes across as a petty, passive-aggressive goon, rather than as enlightened. It is okay for the general to have a dress-code. Don't freak out, Master of Zen.

Not an unpopop but on a related note a fact that always blows my mind is that for regular playing cards the amount of different orderings is so enormous that when you shuffle a deck it's likely that's an order that's never been seen before or will be seen again. It's because there are 52 * 51 * 50... *1 different possibilites and it's hard to grasp how big a number that is. I googled for a good example and found this on reddit, I'm assuming it means if none of the shuffles are repeats.

quote:

Say that there exists 10 Billion people on every planet, 1 Billion planets in every solar system, 200 Billion solar systems in every galaxy, and 500 Billion galaxies in the universe. If every single person on every planet has been shuffling decks of cards completely at random at 1 Million shuffles per second since the BEGINNING OF TIME, every possible deck combination would still yet to have been "shuffled"
