    Yeah I looked at your comments and saw that thread, where the person was claiming that computers functioned by spirits being summoned from rocks and other nonsense.

    The sheer ridiculousness of it forced me to hop in and take a look, and I sure did get a good laugh out of that. Had to leave my two cents and go. I’d be more inclined to believe it’s that weirdo too.

    I mean, for fucks sake, the state is magic? Money is magic? The placebo effect is magic?

    This person* probably thinks the wind is magic.

    Edit: also you were close! Tautologically, one ‘o’ off.

    Edit 2: if they respond to you again, hit em with the God of the gaps fallacy.

    Edit 3: * I editted this because I’ve spoken to this person a little more. I don’t think they’re dumb, I think they just have a very unique perspective.

      I think I am done with that person.

      They are a self admitted antirealist solipsist.

      Reality is not a valid concept for them.

      Not jokingly, as an insult, but literally.

      To this person I suppose that we are all some kind of demonic entities of inner self doubt manifesting to challenge them in their grand, all encompassing existence.
