I wonder if it would be against the rules to wish that he never have another of his "NDE"s again? ---

How exactly do you judge how stupid one thing is over another? There’s so many data points now that trying to distinguish one from another is pointless. Just about every time he says something it can be responded to with ‘Of all the stupid things you’ve said over the years, this is one of them.’ Would be kind of interesting to go through his old posts and pick out the real gems for posterity’s sake though. Not a job I’d wish on my worst enemy, but still. ---

I know the original part of the thread is old, but is lekatt’s statement really functionally different from “I can’t prove that there is or isn’t a god/gods (‘I don’t deny atheism’), but I believe there is/are,” i.e., an agnostic theist position? Or am I just giving way too much credit here? ---

> [@hotflungwok](#): > > How exactly do you judge how stupid one thing is over another? Dunno if there _is_ an “exactly” method. In fact, the one I would suggest necessarily calls for some subjective evaluations. Take two statements that you would judge as “stupid.” To the best of your ability, estimate how many IQ points you would need to shed in order to accept each statement as valid. The one that “costs” more IQ points is the stupider statement. For a somewhat more precise evaluation, compare how many actual known facts you would have to consider non-factual (or at least suspended) in order for you to accept each statement on its merits. If you want to complicate your life further, rate the counterfactuals not merely by sheer number, but by cumulative importance. ---

This brings up an interesting philosophical question. When **lekatt** was a little kid, going on long car trips with his family, and his little brother did that thing where you annoy your victim by putting your finger within a couple of millimeters of his arm and saying _“I’m not touching you! I’m not touching you!”_ did he respond by saying _“I know, but now I have a deeper understanding of what being touched by you would be like, and I no longer fear it. I hope to experience it again”_? ---
