@arcana @eemmaa @lunarised i agree with this
@lunarised but saying "X" and "I believe X" are the same thing, right
@lunarised well, I believe it is
@ben but i don't know much about this, and it's a good question
@ben My best guess is that they know a lot about how similar contemporary societies (e.g. hunter-gatherers) behave, and that religion is very infused into many activities we consider secular. Those societies are doing worshipful-X instead of just-X.
I'd guess the fandom-forming instinct also exists in many other societies, but there it's channeled into religion. So Funko-pops might be descirbed as semi-religious objects?
@tef subcase of proth primes
@tef off-by-one powers of two in the factorizations of off-by-one powers of two
@tef i wanna figure out whether this is a statistical pattern now
@tef factors into Mersenne primes but moee often into 2^n+1, which doesn't have a name afaik?
@tef pattern appears a lot in powers of two of powers of two, but not reliable
Hm, strange
I am not attracted to men.
I don't want to be attracted to men.
I dont want to want to be attracted to men.
*But* I want to want to want to be attracted to men.
I think this pattern holds for many groups of people I could be attracted to but am not, e.g. trans people, overweight people &c.
Why do my desires flip when I remove the influence thrice?!
