Tell me something: Is “Monkeymind” intended to be an avatar account, along the lines of “Clippy”.
Yes
That being the case trying to argue you into not thinking like the monkeymind avatar in question would be equivalent to trying to convince Clippy that paperclips really aren’t all they are cracked up to be—pointless. If you admit (as you do above) that your account is a satirical role-play account rather than you sincerely expressing your ignorance then you shouldn’t expect people to be obliged to buy into your games. Feel free to retract the ‘yes’ at any time if you wish to be taken seriously.
All you seem to be capable of doing is be condescending.
If you role play an avatar that is bad at thinking it is inevitable that it will seem to you like people are treating you as if you are stupid.
Sorry, I did not understand what you meant by Clippy. Never heard of it b4, so I answered hastily. I use Monkeymind everywhere. I used this avatar originally when discussing evolution with theists, and just kept the name.
I am being serious, and so obviously my questions are serious, and they must be good ones because so far, there have been few reasonable answers. One may say that it is because I truly do not understand the topic(s). Feel free to set me straight any time, rather than just telling me I don’t understand.
If you would like to show me where my ignorance lies or that my thinking is flawed, I would appreciate it. I don’t like being wrong, but I don’t mind being corrected. In fact, I desire it so that I do not have to continue holding on to outdated or non-useful explanations.
However, let me state that I do not necessarily think there is a wrong or a right conclusion to the scientific method. Just explanations which are rational or not rational. Explanations that make sense or do not make sense. If this is the flaw in my thinking you are alluding to, then feel free to make a case for that. If it is about the thot experiment of computer generated amplitudes being fired at make believe half-silvered mirrors, then I am all ears.
Theoretical physics is conceptual. Technology (mostly trial & error) is empirical.
Maybe in the process, I will learn something and I can help you realize the limitations of math and the current state of your (apparently collective) understanding and use of the scientific method.

Thankyou. Your outrage didn’t seem to fit with your affirmation so I thought I’d give you a chance to re-answer.
