Pissing off the atheists/naturalists

Anyway, have you reported me yet?

You can be either 50/50 certain or 49/51 certain... It's just a beefart of a difference.

"beefart"...

I am a wanker and I live in my mum's basement.

"beefart"...

50/50 -> 49/51
beefart -> bee fart

Teeny tiny joke.

I'm more confident than that.

Just ask your bee-of-confidence to fart and you’ll know if I’ve reported you or not.

Skepdick you projecting scoundrel! You're the one who said:

Hi, I'm Skepdick, I am a wanker, I live in my mum's basement and I'm so accurate that I change my mind every time a bee farts.

When you stop confusing your mental model of me with me you might end up back on the fence...

Till then, you've lost all objectivity. Recuse yourself or... whatever Pour more petrol onto the dumpster fire that is this forum.

Er...

I am that precise. 49/51 is a useless scale when you have an effectively infinite number of datapoints.

49.000...1/51.999..9 wouldn't topple me.
49.000...2/51.999..8 wouldn't topple me.
49.000...3/51.999..7 wouldn't topple me.
49.000...4/51.999..6 wouldn't topple me.
....
49.9/51.1 wouldn't topple me.

But 49/51 just breaks the camel's back.

The wanker and mum's basement bit go without saying.

Which part of English grammar is confusing you, ignoramus?

If I ever arrive at 49/51 it WOULD topple me. That is a future perfect tense.
You have already arrived at 49/51. And it HAS toppled you. That's past perfect tense.

I am never actually going to arrive at 49/51. It's a hypothetical - a prediction of what WOULD happen IF I arrived. Which I won't.

Because I can't get to the other side of infinity. But you can, apparently.

[Will Bouwman]

You have already arrived at 49/51. And it HAS toppled you.

Skepdick old boy, if you want to play properly, could you kindly dig up the quote you think has me saying that 49/50 HAS toppled me.

You moved off the fence. The fence is monad(0.5).

You have been toppled. By your own admission of 49/51

You can't get OFF the fence and NOT be toppled. 49/51 != monad(0.5)

You have at least two competing theories in your head. One of them "weighs" 51; the other "weighs" 49.

Science. The end.

[Will Bouwman]

You have been toppled. By your own admission of 49/51

Where did I say I would commit to a belief on the basis of a 49/51 split?

It is implied in the scientific method; ignoramus. It's implied in what 49/51 means.

You have two competing hypotheses: A and B.

The weight of the apportioned evidence is exactly: A/B = 49/51 therefore A < B

To "be on the fence" means A/B = 50/50 therefore A = B.

[Will Bouwman]

The weight of the apportioned evidence is exactly: A/B = 49/51

Therefore A < B

And therefore Skepdick, the bee fart counting wanker, believes B? Oh really?

[Skepdick]

Lack of belief: A = B.
Belief: Either: A > B OR B > A

Do you believe the coin toss will land heads (A > B) or tails (B > A)?

Or do you lack a belief either way (A=B)?

Don't they teach Probability Theory (the logic of science) to "philosophers" of science?

If you paid anything for your "education" then you should definitely ask for your money back...
