I recognize the concept isn't something that can be summarized in a paragraph or even a page so I know there's got to be more than anyone can actually say on the subject without turning it into a sizable discourse. I don't think discourse is needed to begin with. One doesn't particularly need to know why the earth is not flat on a scientific level to not rum around saying its flat because the idea blows their mind. Personally I wouldn't sit down a debate such a person more than 5 minutes. I'm not going to get anywhere with someone that far gone from reality. Like it's okay to not understand something, and to fully admit you don't understand why a phenomenon happens. But unfortunately humans have this knack for making up stories to explain events they lack an explanation for. Many psychologically must have an explanation for a phenomenon or they will create one. Which those types, I just cant give more than 5 minutes of attention to IRL. Online my tolerance is slightly higher because I can tone them out hours or a day, but even then I got to be real bored to entertain it. It's like my sister who is a hard believer of astrology, and the inconsistent belief system of astrology. <cite>sparky2658 posted [p:972816734] in Are you un...
