I’m not saying they were stupid or crazy for the time… I’m just saying… that when thinking back on such events while knowing of alll this modern stuff, MOST people will say their idiots!
@Elfwine In regards to evil spirits, I can firmly say they don’t seem that way to me. However, that’s because I don’t believe in spirits or anything of that sort, so to me they just seem like bacteria as they have been described.
Can you all please stop misrepresenting what I’m saying already?.. They are stupid in hindsight… that’s it…
Edit: I’m not fond of ignorance either, but I’m not fond of the assumption that their ignorance was somehow something they could have controlled but didn’t.
@Fallaner Point. But if you do believe spirits exist, or could exist, a description of how bacteria operate wouldn’t be a bad description of how an evil spirit would.
Viruses definitely sound like how a being intent on screwing over someone in the most malicious way they could would - “taking over their own body to turn it against them”? Very creepy.
No no in spain. whe made our princes have tons of lovers since early age. basically to see if the stuff working or not. if there were no bastards and no hard … they were remedies. I think i already tell that if Arthur were virgin and didn’t know how work. Guen could shouting “Impotent” Matrimony rato non consumatio weeding is broken within Pope agreement. That’s why in the bedroom were present at least 3 people one ambassador from each state and a bishop
Certainly it’s creepy and can seem that way to people who are religious/believe in such things. I can certainly see how they would view it in such a way, though only if they didn’t quite understand science. Really sorry, but in my opinion science more or less debunks such things pretty easily, and if someone is insisting they exist I ask for proof, because it’s really easy to prove something doesn’t exist (I mean, no one says unicorns really exist but no one has seen a unicorn. It’s because no one can produce evidence to show one exists that we can definitely say they don’t, because if there was any evidence of it, in any form, then it exists), so if you say something does exist you must prove it, me disproving it is me saying “There’s no proof it even exists”.
This was a ramble. I apologize.
Note on ignorance: Not saying they could control it, however in the view of the modern era, they were ignorant, compared to today. People in the future will undoubtedly call all of us ignorant too, if that’s of any help to your conscious.
@Fallaner I’m going to sum it up for discussion’s sake (I’ll gladly PM you if you’re interested):
If 99.8% of us don’t have ESP, and 0.2% of us do, how exactly do you explain how you qom something to someone who doesn’t have a sense of Qo (qom to Qo as see is to sight)?
It’s not something I’m prepared to say is absolutely impossible.
I don’t believe earth has any unicorns - they would register (at least imperfectly) with sight, sound, etc. - even if we just saw horses (Cookie for everyone who gets the reference). I wish it did, but it doesn’t seem it does.
Disease being caused by bacteria and viruses falls into this category, but “Science disproves magic” isn’t something I think is wholly accurate as long as the first question exists. Ignoring definitions of magic being like sufficiently advanced technology, since that means science makes magic for a given definition of instead.
As for ignorance, I don’t mind you using it - I just mind how fawekless put it. Anyone not omniscient is ignorant somewhere, as you said better than I would’ve.
just tried it…very impressed not normally my sort of genre, but so well written and personal to the player I love it :)…like tinstar, don’t normally like westerns, but like that due to it’s quality.
D…did our talking get someone to notice that this kept staying at the top(ish) of the activity list or something?..
Or did they just randomly take a look at various WiPs? …I’m confused on how most people tend to find stuff in this site (and i’ve been here for too long to still be ignorant about this)
I tend not to read anything new myself, so I just read what caught my eye every once in a while when I look at new stuff (or the new topic is something i’ve played in regards to a COG, like the Guns topic)
…Dangit me typing stuff led to me dying in starbound D:
Dang new computer making me having lost all my progress because I forgot to transfer the save files over D:
Owning to all the talk about medieval medicine earlier I can tell you that I spent about three months acting as a Barber Surgeon (and a Viking) in my heritage job so I can safely say that your chances of survival with affliction and cure alike are pretty slim. Fleams and saws just about disinfected with cheap wine and and no sedatives will do that, together with regular leech usage.
I was just thinking about Morgana and wondering why most people call her Morgan Le Fay in popular fiction, given that I read a lot of Marvel comics where she’s flirting with Doctor Doom and trying to conquer the world and the like.
Everyone is ignorant of somerhing because we aren’t omniscient.
I never said ignorance is a bad thing.
Ignorance its just a thing.
The problem to me is when people force ignorance.
(On themselves or others)
So yes everyone is ignorant in some wayeven me.
One of the most important things to know is that how little we know. Or something like that.
Also @poison_mara chaotic neutral is my preference as it is pure randomness.
Biased against ignorance.
So I can’t be biased against everyone?
Including my self?
I never thought I was free of ignorance.
I just try to fight it by being open.
Being biased against ignorance while claiming not to say ignorance is a bad thing is getting into either unclear writing, or a level of philosophy beyond me, or both.
Anywayyou could say randomly poison if you want.
