When you counter my points you tend to use a "all or nothing" assumption and that is hindering your ability to garner any fair points I may make. I tend to speak on a "what I know, and what I dont know but what if" basis. Meaning I give facts, then I remove myself own person opinion from the fact and leave it to stand on its own.
Take my quote you took interest in. My first part was fact. The second sentence was a "what if". Then in the second part I stated an opinion (used probably) and then I enforced my opinion with a fact (unless anyone else discovered A/C that I am aware of).
So my myth of, things are normally supernatural until we realize that they are natural, is an opinion. However it is an opinion that I have based in hundreds of years of human history. So better yet my opinion if formulated properly could be seen as a theory. Im sure if you were in ancient Rome and told someone its a material called "plastic" that would house a battery, and be able to project your voice into someone else ear, thousands of miles away, you'd probably been seen as crazy.
Yet, we have pretty much discover cell phones, tv, automobiles, submarines, airplanes, and nuclear explosions (I refuse to call our crude attempt at nuclear power, energy) in that LAST 100 years. Honestly, we have evolotutely leaped in our lifetimes as humans.
So it's my humble opinion that their is no super natural, only natural. Now if you want me to go any further unless youre gonna have to give me some sort of class credit.
uhh number one, tesla was all about Direct Current, not Alternating Current. Edison was the proponent of Alternating Current.
secondly, tesla's main proposal was not Direct Current either, his Big Idea was to "broadcast electricity" over radio waves, which means intense electromagnetic fields EVERYWHERE and induction coils to gather that radiation and convert it back into Direct Current...
thirdly, as i attempted to explain, but you obviously didnt get, ancient myths are not a supernatural explanation, they are an incorrect explanation based on "supernatual" thinking. the adherents of course do not believe that their ideas are "supernatural" at all, they think that is simply "How Thing Are". this is faulty thinking and faulty logic, but not the deliberate obtuseness of modern somewhat educated (hopefully) western thinkers who deliberately and obtusely insist that the earth is six thousand years old, and that evolution is a trick of the devil to test their faith.
fourthly, if one CHOOSES to accept things which are by their very nature unprovable, entirely subjective and easily just the fabrication of the mind, by wishful thinking or a desperate need to believe, then one is engaging in deliberate self delusion, or they are being deliberately belligerent and daring anyone to say nay. (which is easy to spot when phrases like "there is no god but god, and mohammed is his prophet" pop up) these sorts of challenges are just an attempt to start shit, just before the provocateur cries racism, or bigotry and plays the victim.
Fifthly, if you cannot accept that your myths (and mine) are MYTHS and thus part of our social and cultural background but NOT the solution to the worlds problems, then you are one of the world's problems.
Edit: it has been brought to my attenction that i have edison and tesla revereds regarding Alternating and Direct current.
Edison was the DC Dingleberry, while Tesla was all about AC in his insane plot to reduce the human race to sterility by bathing us in his massive radiation fields.
i have no excuse for my error, and throw myself on the mercy of the collective.
plus i am pretty high right now, but my cat says that's just a bullshit justification, and i should take it like a man.
my cat's a dick.
