I wouldn’t be surprised if penguins ate the pope. However, I wouldn’t bring up the possibility that penguins have eaten the pope every time he gets mentioned (absent evidence).

Epistemic hygiene doesn’t require you to believe only things that are “absolutely true,” since that would exclude literally all empirical claims.

It does require you to proportion your beliefs to the evidence. Big claims require a lot of evidence. The idea that Epstein didn’t kill himself enjoys some degree of confidence (say, 75%) because of circumstantial evidence (not to mention motive and opportunity).

We have enough conspiracy theories right now. Let’s stick to the facts and maintain some epistemic hygiene.

No clue why you’re being downvoted. Obama was a neoliberal who made a good faith effort, but intentions pale in the light of obvious moral ignorance. Imagine signing indefinite detention into law. Just imagine. What lunacy?

All humans are animals. But some animals are not people, as Conor McGregor clearly demonstrates.

Yes but he rhymed.

If my wife knows my location it’s an invasion of privacy

I seriously doubt any of the losers in this thread have been in a loving relationship before.

Apple’s built-in location sharing is not sent to advertisers.

No, I’m not worried about my wife reading “my diary” because I’m not a child.

It honestly sounds like you need to work on your marriage and are projecting. Maybe try a couple’s therapist?
