Plausibility of ancient extraterrestrials

[Anomalocaris]

the important thing is one’s judgement of whether something is likely to be true should not be affected at all by one’s subjective sense of how cool it would be if it were true, nor one’s moral preference that the world needs it to be true to be better.

if it is not true, it is not true . the latter two factors are just worthless noise.

preference and morality must give way to objective fact. not the other way around
