[!@#$%!]

the problem with trusting novelists is that they’re used to spinning a lot of very coherent and believable bullshit which has no basis in reality. a great talent for entertainment—but with no scientific value.

there is a landmark experiment that shows how the language brain will cook up all manner of justifications for absurdities. see: https://physics.weber.edu/carroll/ho...plit_brain.htm

this applies to everyone, including scientificists like lobster-man.

by scientificist i mean those who elevate empirical science to religious status. which isn’t really science, just ideological extrapolation. e.g. social darwinism.
