Moderated Is belief itself dangerous for your brain? (A rethink is in order)

[abaddon]

Are you projecting?

That you have beliefs, does not suddenly render me a believer in anything.

Belief is for toddlers, that are unable to observe that one need not believe in science, for science holds true regardless. Furthermore, belief opposes the scientific methodology, and humans are better of with science.

You err. You hold a whole lot of beliefs. Else, you could not function. Start with gravity, for example. You simply believe it works on faith. Take your pen/pencil/whatever, hold it in the air. now let go. What happens? Well, it drops to the floor/desk/whatever, right?

Do you believe the same thing will happen tomorrow if you repeat the experiment? Or the next day? Or the day after that?

Dross' primary meaning is something rubbish.

That my book recalls of health neglection abound belief, is rather than rubbish, not so.

Want to try that dross again, possibly in some form of English?

So you actually, scientifically, test whether there is still gravity before getting out of bed, just in case you go into orbit?

As far as science goes, gravity won't suddenly turn off...

No, that quote does not remotely apply. You hold beliefs, you are simply in denial.

How do you know that?

A song for you.

Whoo Boy.

Another slow motion trainwreck disguised as a thread.

I am dissatisfied; for I don't possess a trillion more neurons, per my body mass.

There is evidence that human cognition is not the limit on intelligence; machine learning algorithms already exceed humans in cognitive tasks.

More word salad.

Yet another brain enamoured by belief.

Come...

..is it but not yet time to doff your silly belief bound regime?

Why do you garner that belief (having no high concern for evidence) does not oppose science (with no such lacking)?

And still the malady lingers.

The tragic waste of electrical energy consumed to disseminate your nonsense is bad enough.

Your insistence that it has value beyond the entertainment provided is just plain sad.

No theory is improved by the insertion of gobbledygook.

I doubt your particular fantasy of intellectual importance could be improved by anything short of retraction and apology.

Here is an exercise.

Attempt to unravel this quantum computing based mathematical summary of mine.

Perhaps then your responses shall better reflect critical thinking; for it is activities such as the above, that has engendered my current thought cycles.

 

[abaddon]

It is scientifically observable, that your responses are nothing but invalid.

Or so your belief goes.

No.

That he rejects the factum that belief opposes science, is scientifically observable.
