so, yeah, i do Actually Think That Something Is Going On There. i don't seem to need spiritual dualism or undiscoverable energies to do this, so that's encouraging, i guess. but feel free to banish me to the woo realms now anyway

"happen together in ways and on scales that make no sense to a rational intuition" It makes perfect sense except arrogantly the rationalize believes no sense is bigger than they are.

I'm not a materialist at all and it's way better. Skeptical of astrology though. I think the stars are down here in the below with the rest of us.

The sand religions are tone deaf about their own doctrines like that. Lots of Muslims figure out how drinking isn't a sin. It's the hermeneutics of 'barkeep, pour me another' or something.

I wonder which Jesus gets more mad about? 1. Not doing what Jesus tells you to do. 2. Having a book which falsely claims to speak in Jesus' name.

in the "attractor basin escape" model, that makes a form of divination more useful because you're more likely to actually do what it told you if you paid a high cost for the result

My problem: a twitter competitor where every tweet cost $1000 would actually work. And actually be profitable, what with the cost. Why aren't I immediately setting out to do it?

if i had to guess i'd say that you feel that spending your irreplaceable time and synaptic pruning capacity on that project would reduce you more than it ennobled you
