The flat earth thread is about flat earth arguments. It is not "astrology general", nor does it demand any monopoly on the subject of planets, or photographs thereof.

>>1512
>The flat earth thread is about flat earth arguments.
I've got you. A thread with telescope pics is about the heliocentric theory.

>>1513
I honestly don't care what you call it. I'm not putting the new telescope photos in the flat earth thread. I'll make a telescope thread this week.

>>1514
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.

That is like straight out of Dennou Coil.

Beautiful anime, a pity it has not subtitles.

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.
