0·1 year agoI suppose I’m more thinking about examples like one in this comment section where they see a ghost sober in the middle of the day.

1·1 year agoI do not currently believe in any supernatural anything, for the exact same reasons I do not believe in gods.
- There is no persuasive evidence of anything supernatural
- Many supernatural phenomena were discovered to have naturalistic explanations
- The only evidence provided for supernatural phenomena is anecdotal
It’s entirely possible for there to be supernatural stuff, but the time to believe it is when it is demonstrated.
One point that I don’t see raised a lot is that otherwise perfectly mentally healthy people can experience hallucinations. They may even find them comforting, and some even then do not believe the visions are real. I have a suspicion that a lot of ghost sightings, etc, might be such hallucinations. But I can’t demonstrate that, and I’m honestly not sure how we could, unless we can find a way to trigger such hallucinations on purpose.

You don’t have to compile. You don’t need semicolons.
Python was my first programming language, and those two things alone honestly are really nice. Doesn’t mean there aren’t a million other issues and difficulties, though, lol.
