    Hopefully none. I do hold some that you could call a-scientific, or something, because existing science has no impact either way. Like what kinds of foods are good or bad. Or morality.

    I can tell American society is getting exponentially more stupid by how many more cheeky vanity license plates I see as time goes on.

    When I drop something on the floor and then blow on it in short soft bursts, it’s suddenly clean enough to consume.

    Demons are real - negative entities that attach to humans and feed off misery, pleasure, and anger.

    I am convinced that I will come down with cold/flu if I breath too much cold air. When I walk in the cold, I always wrap a scarf around my mouth and nose. If I don’t, the cold air will give me a sore throat. That sore throat will act as a Petri dish for illness to develop and spread into my lungs or nose.

    I know plenty of medical professionals and all of them tell me that that is not how it works, but I have a datum of proof. In my first year of university, I had a nasty, persistent respiratory infection during the late fall/early winter. To keep my throat warm while it was recovering, I started wearing a scarf and my illness went away quickly. After that, I started wrapping up whenever I was walking to class in the cold and never got sick again.

    I am now used to wrapping my face in the cold and feel wrong without it. When I don’t, it seems like I am more likely to come home with a scratchy throat. I can definitely say that many of my flus start in the throat (though it could just be that the first flu symptom I tend to notice is the sore throat).

    In countries with over a few million citizens, the political hierarchies quickly get too far away from the people there, accumulating corruption.

    Unscientific in a different way, but I think the universe is basically a digestive organ for some impossibly unknowable, incredible higher dimension being.

    Like the big bang is when it feeds or otherwise takes in energy, then as trillions of years pass and entropy takes hold that is it effectively digesting that energy.

    The moment you become rich, you will absolutely be contacted by the shadowy ring of other rich people so they can force you in one way or another not to out their pedo ring. Even going as far as assassinating you if blackmail doesn’t work.

    People using genAI without a care came about as a result of the genAI companies making millions of fake accounts across all of mainstream social media and performing the greatest astroturfing ever, in their favor.

    The majority of actual human interaction in the future will be secretly held in spaces run under things like Usenet, I2P, Gopher, etcetera. A way to detect bots/genAI will become a game of whack-a-mole and it’ll help keep these treasures safer than 99% of the internet.

    Anubis ( or whatever it’s called ) becomes a government funded project, with the goal being that government websites are spared from rampant AI bots crashing their sites. The downside is that it would most likely become closed source in order to ensure genAI companies cannot come in and use the source code to break through it.

    Wikipedia joins one of the alternate internet things ( maybe I2P ) and poisons its own services, leaving ample notice of what they’re gonna do, but not where they’re going, to keep safe from the bots. It’ll become a race to find where and when Wikipedia becomes available again. This is more of a firm pipedream, but I hope they do it for their own good.

    Visiting the clear web essentially becomes a crime amongst all tech savy people and you’ll absolutely be casted out of the safe spaces if you venture out of a genAI free Haven.

    Or most likely out of everything, in a decade or less, the clock strikes midnight and once the dust settles, everyone left alive will be afraid when the wind blows.

    That death isn’t the end. It might be the end of a physical group of cells but what we experience as our own consciousness lives on. Just not in this same form. And that those who have passed are communicating but we don’t pick up on the same vibrations inside of these bodies.

    We’re also not in the same vibration to pick up any of our own memories of before inhabiting our bodies.

    A huge amount of people who have NDEs seem to report much of this in common.

    That and there is a plethora of dark energy and matter we cannot perceive. Which is scary creepy when I think about it too much. Like if this were a computer program, we’ve only physically taken up an observed 5% of the disk space. Can’t get my mind around that.

    The “fuzziness” inherent in reality once you get close to the Plank distance is clear evidence that we exist in a virtual universe whose computing power goes only so far. Reality breaks down at the Plank distance because that’s the pre-programmed limit of detail in the simulation.

      Well there’s also the double slit test and Mandela effect too so more and more things to add to that maybe it’s a simulation bucket.

      I hold a very similar view, I usually express it like so:

      If you were to develop a simulation of a universe you would have to make some concession to be able to run such a large simulation:

      • You would have to limit causality, since the communication from one part of the cluster to the next would not be instantaneous you would need to limit the speed at which those communications can happen, that way you guarantee that one part of your cluster can’t interfere with another, think of it like a loading screen.
      • Speaking of loading screens, you could make the vast majority of the thing empty, that would limit stuff going over from one part to another.
      • You could gain lots of performance by only simulating the micro stuff when required, so an electron could be a wave of possibilities until they need to be somewhere, think of it in the same manner as current games don’t draw what’s not on screen.

    So many… This will be downvoted :) Go guys!

    • Our bodies immune systems are enough to fight covid unless we are unhealthy, most people therefore dont need to vaccinate.

    • Nasa is definently not curious about actual human-like life in space and never intends to share any findings like that with the public. But its great for looking at rocks and microbes, things that will not change humanitys view of themselves as alone monkeys in space.

    • There are other dimensions where non-physical spirits exists, like ghosts or dead family members. Some mediums are real and can communicate with them.

    • Earth is a place where human souls go through a lot of challenges. How we treat others is meaningful and important for our souls.
