Tyson's Inverse:

"The bad thing about religion is that it's believed, whether it's true or not."

1 + 1 = 2

is more true than that.

I'm not a huge fan of this quote because it is the exact type of logic that fundies tend to use. "God loves you whether you believe in him or not." There are other more profound and well thought out NdGT quotes, that I prefer.

Coming from a scientist (he's a scientist, right?), this just weirds me out. The only unquestionable truth is raw unqualified experience, which is the gold standard of undeniability. The very power of science comes from its questionability.

Some truer words: this has been posted far too much.

[–]nametheoccupation[S] -1 points0 points ago

It's not a repost if I'VE never seen it.

[–]imnotfeelingcreative 2 points3 points ago

Yes, I suppose you're right. Unfortunately, everybody else has the same mentality.

False. It's a repost whether you've seen it or not. The image's previous postings are independent of your viewing of them. It's just new to you.

Come on, this is simple fucking stuff, people.

But I'm the only person that matters.

I wish I had that Atheist Experience clip where they exclaim "You're a SOLIPSIST???" then hang up on them.

The thing about reposts is that they are reposts whether you have seen them or not.
