  These fall under the category of “Half-baked Idea”. This includew any idea that obviously hasn’t been thought all the way through. Half-baked ideas can range from the absurd (e.g. “The Earth is flat.”), to the benignly optimistic (e.g. “Everything works out for the best.”)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are humans the only great apes that can be "holy", or could for example an Orangutan be divine?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on which philosophy you ascribe to I suppose. While standard Judeo-Christian philosophy would most likely dismiss the notion of divine orangutans, I for one would posit that orangutans by thier very nature are divine and that humans may in fact be the only creatures on the planet that must struggle toward divinity.
