It’s just looking for a God or an afterlife without turning to religion.

I think that's a bingo, the sentence saying "in historical context this is essentially like religions and afterlife" I sneered at is an inadvertent slip on the author's side. He seems entirely oblivious that his position is "Rapture, but for nerds, and it's totally real this time because we did rationalism and Bayes on it." Or he's totally conscious that it's his position but is actually convinced by that flimsy rationalisation, which sounds honestly worse.

Great, now a student will be able to plagiarise the very TA that's reading their paper, can't fucking wait for the first time I read my own words back at me without proper citation.

I wanted to sneer at this, but it very quickly outgrew a Stubsack comment, so, enjoy, this is what you made me do

What the hell is "Seeds of Science"? Is that some weird arxiv thingy that also gives you a logo at the top?

do I cancel those who favor tougher price controls on pharma? After all, they may be inducing millions of premature deaths

Wh.. What? Does favouring seatbelts also induce millions of premature deaths, because of... because of what? What the actual fuck dude?

If they had a machine that could reliably decide the truth value of an arbitrary proposition, then they could foof us all to roboheaven ASAP.

Damn bro, they're gonna hate this Turing fellow once they learn he crushed their dreams OVER ~~SEVEN~~ EIGHT DECADES AGO

EDIT: someone pointed out I suck at arithmetic

I'd much rather have a technology that allows some specific people to keep their shit inside, without spilling it for all of us to see. @TheBigYud
