Spongebob Wrote:I don't know what your skillset it is regarding HTML markupWell, I do not know a lot about HTML either. I do know the basics, but not nuts and bolts. Similar to how much I know CSS. I think I know JavaScript quite a bit better, but I do not know the details that are required to get a job.
Spongebob Wrote:In fact, that's a common hallmark of pseudoscience, someone promoting themselves as an absolute authority and slamming everyone else as a deceiver.I think the vast majority of people consider people I mention as deceiver as real deceivers, or at the very least misled people. The vast majority of people think anti-vaxxers, as well as people who are denying saturated fat causes heart disease and people who are denying sugar causes type-2-diabetes, to be very misled at best. Most people also consider Flat-Earthers to be insane or not serious. Conspiracy theorists as well are not well-regarded.
OK, I suppose most people would consider Murray Rothbard to be a pseudoscientist rather than a good social scientist, but I didn't imply his social science theories were true, I just implied his idea that government collecting useless statistics causes many pseudosciences may be true.
Spongebob Wrote:I suppose the obvious suggestions would be to take a creative writing classWhat is that? Never heard of that.
Spongebob Wrote:study really good writersLike whom?
Spongebob Wrote:read tons of books on the subjectWell, that would be a lot of effort. Anyway, which would you recommend me? I have this perception that the study of what constitutes a good writing is full of pseudoscience, but I could be wrong.
Spongebob Wrote:I don't know where you got this idea but something about it is not quite right.It is demostrably right. Computers can generate tweets about global warming denial that many people would claim are plausible.
Spongebob Wrote:CapitalismWhat do you mean?
Spongebob Wrote:poor educationArguably so, however, more education of poor quality may be counter-productive. Like I have said on my Libertarianism page:

It is easy to make people fight a hypothetical-at-best danger that is tribal warfare with governments if they do not see the real danger that are genocidal or vastly incompetent but intrusive governments. People saying stuff like that are probably thinking "Well, it is better to risk having a Holocaust once in a century than to risk having tribal warfare every day.", not realizing Holocaust was not the only major government-made tragedy of the 20th century, or even the biggest one. And people say stuff like that not only about politics.
Spongebob Wrote:politicsArguably so, and I mentioned that multiple times.
Spongebob Wrote:but because many people distrust the governmentRightly so. Governments have a horrible track record of spreading pseudo-science.
Spongebob Wrote:And many scientific dead ends are also taught.Like? I do not remember any scientific dead ends being taught at school.
Spongebob Wrote:we are all part of an elaborate simulation in that computerThat is not at all what Digital Physics is about. It is more like rejection of metaphysics. And an attempt to deal with Zeno's paradoxes.
https://flatassembler.github.io/Simulation.html Wrote:Digital physics doesn't suppose it's likely that our universe is simulated by some giant computer in some alien civilization, it simply supposes that the fundamental laws of nature are such that they could, in principle, be simulated by an enough-powerful computer. A perhaps better summary would be that the universe itself is a giant computer (not a "computer simulation").

https://flatassembler.github.io/Simulation Wrote:Free will is entirely explicable using the computational complexity. Every system with enough computational complexity can be said to have free will. And since free will is so-to-say an illusion, laws make little sense, and punishing people who break the law with prisons makes even less sense. Which is one reason why I am a libertarian.
