  • Whats even funnier is that physics is also vibes based in some areas. The laws of thermodynamics are not real laws, they are based on statistic likelihood but can in theory be broken.

    Newtons equations for gravity are still widely used despite being disproven for better part of a century.

    Sometimes, accurate enough approximations are more useful than the complicated reality.








  • Here’s my take: the bear thing is causing such a visceral reaction that it is very hard to take a step back, not take it personally and have a rational discussion about it.

    Imo the bear thing was phrased in a way to cause that visceral reaction. It was intended to be antagonistic. If the same point was phrased the way you phrased it above, I want to believe we would have much more civil discussion about it. But instead, the posts put many male readers on the defensive and those that tried to explain were seen as defending this antagonistic stance.

    That is no excuse for DM harassment or harassment on other posts, just my take on the reason the discussion turned so uncivil.
