    take the L and walk away.

    I’m here having reasoned conversations with thoughtful people. I left the karma farming behind on reddit, and I don’t miss it. I can’t lose.

    The word “see” predates the concepts of neurons, chemicals, and photons by thousands of years. We see objects, not light.

    The light that enters your eye carries enormous amounts of information with it. Your eye and a small portion of your brain comprise a highly specific tool for extracting a small subset of that information and processing it. The information you use is only related to the last object the light interacted with, not the light itself (with the small exception being the “brightness” - that has nothing to do with the object).

    No one claims to hear the air in their ears rather than the violin that is being played nearby. That’s just not what the word “hear” means.










  • English is an amazingly complex language. Sometimes when words seem to coincide, it’s just a coincidence (see what I did there!).

    When speaking of evidence of a claim, proof is a noun, and is related to the verb prove. When allowing the microbial cultures in a dough to develop before baking, proof is a verb. The gerund is proofing, and what you have made is a proofing box.

    Your proofing box is excellent and I am envious. On the other hand, now I really want a proving box. I imagine that I can put ideas in there, wait some time, and the see if they are proved or not!
