I hope you have enough autism to keep it going for weeks, months, or even years if necessary.

>>1515
Why does it have to go on for weeks?

>>1516
Clearly you havent dealt with our resident flat earther

>>1517
It wouldn't be about flat earth discussion. That would stay in its current thread.

>>1518
Clearly you havent dealt with pur resident flat earther

>>1520
Flat eartherism is a glowie psyop to discredit sites where being pro-flat earth is permitted

>>1521
this, I refuse to believe that people who are legitimately stupid enough to believe that the Earth is flat after multiple millennia (dating all the way back to ancient Greece, in fact) of people knowing that the contrary is true to have any idea of how to actually navigate the internet. Everything else is feds trying to make us look like idiots.

>>1520
I have. I just refuse to entertain the notion of that argument spilling into every space thread on this separate board.
>>1521
>>1522
So let's keep that discussion in its own thread.

>>1526
Lmao

Foreign intelligence agencies must be rubbing their hands at what potential there now is thanks to the power of diversity hires

Science never changes

What no crop rotation and green fertilization does to a man

>>1535
That explains a lot.

>>1513
Okay, you win this one.

Explanation to this one is simple: computers are just actual demons trapped inside silicon infrastructures and "enslaved" to the will of the programmer. There is no such thing as artificial intelligence, only demonic intelligence

>>1557
>computers are just actual demons trapped inside silicon infrastructures and "enslaved" to the will of the programmer.
I'm thinking in the nature of electricity, magnetism, and the atomic "theory" (never ever anyponer has seen an atom, let alone an electron).

>>1558
If "computers are demons" what does that make computer programs?

>>1559
An interpreted language to give instructions to the demons.

>>1558
>(never ever anyponer has seen an atom, let alone an electron)
You do realize that there are other ways to indicate that something exists other than direct empiricism, right? Setting the bar to only things you can see with the naked eye is an impossible standard of evidence.

>>1557
>There is no such thing as artificial intelligence
Artificial intelligence is just a series of algorithms and input-output flowcharts. At what point in the process does there even need to be a 'demon' if that demon only amounts to a glorified button-presser?

Ah, wait, it seems the irony of that post was lost on me.

>>1561
>You do realize that there are other ways to indicate that something exists other than direct empiricism, right?
Of course. That exactly the reason why assumptions are labeled "theories".

>>1562
>Artificial intelligence is just a series of algorithms and input-output flowcharts.
Correct. AI is mostly a buzzword.
>At what point in the process does there even need to be a 'demon' if that demon only amounts to a glorified button-presser?
If the idea of demons inside chips is correct, then demons are tasked to move electrical states from buffer to buffer, like NAND and NOR gates and alike.

>>1565
>If the idea of demons inside chips is correct, then demons are tasked to move electrical states from buffer to buffer, like NAND and NOR gates and alike.
We are getting closer and closer to the autistic ASSEMBLER language.

>>1564
>assumptions
Theories are based on evidence and logic, not assumption. An assumption is just a hypothesis.

>>1565
>demons are tasked to move electrical states from buffer to buffer, like NAND and NOR gates and alike.
Why would you even need demons for such a menial, unintelligent task? We have circuit boards.

>>1569
>An assumption is just a hypothesis.
Correct, and in science those hypothesis are labeled theories. Because science is never settled and is always evolving, those assumptions/theories/hypothesis are expected to be demolished and replaced by new ones.

>>1573
An hypothesis is an assumption before research/experimentation, a theory is made to explain data generated from said research. Get it right faggot.

>>1575
And yet to explain the atomic theory, demons may have their place.

>>1573
>in science those hypothesis are labeled theories
That's not science at all. That's just positivism and corporate media manipulation. Don't misconstrue pseudoscience with actual science.
Theories are based on evidence and data. They're subject to change as new discoveries are made, but they're more than just assumptions.

>>1595
It makes you wonder, what the fuck is going on inside those silicon layers and on the disk's platters.

>>1570
>Why would you even need demons for such a menial, unintelligent task? We have circuit boards.
It is possible demons are using the electric devices as portals to our realm.

>>1597
Why would demons need electrical devices to do such a thing? What component of the device is the portal?

>>1600
>What component of the device is the portal?
Did you even watch the video?

>>1602
No, I didn't yet. I was asking you what your take from it was before if I decide that this is worth 10 minutes of my time.

>>1604
Pretty much this.
Also it gets interesting when you consider the almost exponential increasing of hard drives' capacity. When you dismount an old unit and compare it against the new ones, and consider the platter' surface square millimeters involved, there is something really fishy about it.

>platter' surface square millimeters involved, there is something really fishy about it
Not really, tbh. Microstructures and material engineering drastically multiply surface area.

>>1610
>Microstructures and material engineering
After the covid psyop, science and scientists lost all credibility. Any claim is in doubt and needs independent assessment, even the very foundations of matter, such us the periodic table.

>>1612
>independent assessment
What kind of independent assessment? Who would do it?
These aren't studies observed by scientists; they're products made by engineers.

>>1612
>the periodic table
What's disputed about the periodic table?

>>1612
>science and scientists lost all credibility. Any claim is in doubt and needs independent assessment
That's what the peer review process is. Scientists review eachothers work all of the time. Sometimes they disagree, and sometimes they reaffirm studies.

>>1613
>>1614
>>1615
It is understandable, but the framework laid to explain the physical world is amiss and with many loose ends..

>>1613
>What kind of independent assessment? Who would do it?
>These aren't studies observed by scientists; they're products made by engineers.
Let us see an example of independent assessment on science. Easily reproducible and ridiculous cheap.
If the experiment can be replicated, then all those "scientists" and "engineers" are making assumptions on the foundations of false theories. Let's watch.

>>1617
>If the experiment can be replicated,
Do you really expect corporations to reveal the designs for their patented products? It's already hard enough to prevent chunks from stealing them.

>>1617
I don't see the part where it implies demons are involved.
Even if they're keep secrets about methods, there's little evidence to suggest that it's anything special other than structural/material engineering on a small scale.

Dall-E is weird

>>1610
>Not really, tbh. Microstructures and material engineering drastically multiply surface area.
>hard drives having insane capacities
That is what we are told. Closer inspection of a mechanic arm and its magnetic reader put in doubt the "scientific" narrative.

>>1643
>Closer inspection of a mechanic arm and its magnetic reader put in doubt the "scientific" narrative.
What are you talking about?

>>1684
I think anon was talking about square surface, track's dimensions, and surface's properties to storage digital data; plus the capacity of the magnetic reader to discriminate among tracks.

>>1685
What does that have to do with demons?

>>1686
I believe it is about fake science not able to perform as published and therefore something fishy inside the hardware.

>>1687
Saying it's demons is still jumping to conclusions.

>>1688
True, but a valid theory nevertheless.

>>1689
A theory is based on evidence and testing. That's just a hypothesis.

>>1690
>A theory is based on evidence and testing
Evidence shows that behind the eyes limitations there is another realm and the beings living there my cross to ours under certain conditions and cause physical manifestations.

>>1691
There's still no evidence to suggest that record players are somehow powered by demons, let alone testing.

>>1691
>Evidence shows
What evidence?

>>1693
Okay, I understand now. You are an atheist and cannot see.

>>1694
I didn't say that, nigger. I am naturally skeptical of ideas that suggest that my phone is powered by demons.
>cannot see
Nobody can "see" that sort of thing, retard. It's not exoteric knowledge, it's esoteric: it is not empirical evidence that you can see. So when you say you have "evidence" of it, please explain what evidence it is you have, because that would be fascinating.
