Because erowid does not meet the definition of a resource.
A claim I never made. A claim I already asked you once to show me where I made it.
You are uninformed about what science is. You refuse to acknowledge my definition.
I haven’t even made a comment about your definition.
You know literally nothing about my research capabilities. Maybe I’m terrible at research but you wouldnt know one way or the other.
I know that you have made multiple claims that erowid is
personal experiences of drug users
Despite multiple links showing that it also has other things.
This is pretty compelling evidence that you are unwilling or unable to change your thoughts on something that is both obvious and objective.
I literally can’t think of a worse trait in a “scientist”
- Comment on The holy journey 4 weeks ago:
I never said you weren’t a real researcher. I said you are a bad researcher.
I said this because you claimed there was no place you could find a lot of links to scientific resources outside of Wikipedia. I provided a link to erowid, which has literally thousands of such articles.
I said it’s not scientific. You say “uh yeah it is”
No. I linked to pages with thousands of links to scientific journals. A link which you seemed not to have been aware of.
Are you also incapable of following your own arguments ?
I’m incapable of following what you think my argument is.
What IS your argument then ?
My argument is simply that all the evidence in the comments of this shitpost seem to indicate that you are not a good researcher.
- Comment on The holy journey 4 weeks ago:
Your links were irrelevant to your argument that erowid is a scientific resource.
It’s not.
And where did I make that argument, again?

Erowid is personal opinions of drug users.
Among other things, including many links to scientific resources.

All this and you don’t even link to erowid?

You don’t seem like a very good researcher.

generally don’t chitchat with strangers.
Except on the internet.
It doesn’t cost anything in that situation not to talk, there’s no negative to it.
There is opportunity cost.
But just to be clear, your position is “don’t be the first one talking if talking to strangers, unless absolutely necessary, it’s too risky.”?
If this is not your position, please state it again, because this is how I read the comment I’m replying to.
In either case, please state what you think “the negative” that you are risking, or risking for a person on their behalf.

Your position seems to be that there is no risk too small that would override a potential win.
I am trying to point out the absurdity of this position.
If you can’t see the absurdity of this position, even with the silly parameters on it, then I’ll just ask this direct question:
How do you justify ever talking to a stranger? Surely the risk of a negative outcome is just too great, because there will always be some risk.

Ok then how about it’s no money, but they have to hear about how they didn’t get the money, and so they feel kinda bummed out, if they don’t win.

I would feel shit about losing their money just because I wanted to gamble so I don’t do it.
You would feel like shit if you lost somebody a dollar? How about one cent? Even if there was a 1/1000 chance? Even if they stood to win life changing money on the other 999/1000? Do you think they would be upset?
Is no amount of loss worth any amount of win? If that’s your position, then how do you even get up in the morning? Why is this situation so different at the bar? Likelihood of things going badly in a bar are far far higher in my estimation.

So you won’t even engage with my silly hypothetical?
If you don’t think that any amount of “gambling” is worth even the smallest amount of risk, regardless of the possible reward, then I think you are arguing from an indefensible position.
if you don’t do anything it won’t cause anything negative and they’re still free eo talk to you
Are they? They’re not bound be the same constraints as I should be? It’s a risk they should be willing to take?
I just wouldn’t want to risk causing someones day to be shittier because I wanted to gamble.
You’re mischaracterizing things again. I never said I was doing this “because I wanted to gamble.” I’m doing this because I believe that the chances are quite good at having a positive outcome for both me, and the person I’m interacting with. I additionally believe that the chances of a negative outcome are exceptionally low.
You seem to think that both the odds and the severity of a bad outcome are so serious, that the positive outcomes shouldn’t even be considered. Despite a solid day of this conversation, you have only vaguely pointed in the direction of what these bad outcomes look like, or how likely you think they are.
I can infer that you believe it to be extremely likely and extremely serious. I can point back at some of the data which interestingly seems to have failed to capture such a scenario, but it’s still not clear to me that you’ve bothered to read any of the links with studies I’ve provided.

That’s because you ignore the possibility of a good thing happening, and/ or dramatically overstate the risks of it making somebody’s day worse.
Let’s start with a silly example. Let’s say you had $1000 in your favorite currency. It was given to you with the purpose of you giving it to somebody else. If you do not give it to them, the money disappears.
Would you give this money away? What if I told you there was a 1% chance that it would make a persons day worse?
If you’re not giving the money away, then at least you’re consistent, I’ll give you that.
If you are, what about $100? What about 10$?
- Comment on I went to an anti-tech rally, where Gen Z dressed as gnomes and smashed iPhones. Here's what I learned. | Business Insider 4 months ago:
I suppose so.
And you have no notion about gambling theory whatsoever? Am I inferring that correctly?
- Comment on I went to an anti-tech rally, where Gen Z dressed as gnomes and smashed iPhones. Here's what I learned. | Business Insider 4 months ago:
That’s because you haven’t read them.
They have to do with the positive outcomes, which you continue to ignore, or treat as inconsequential.
A small chance of a negative outcome does not generally outweigh a good chance of a positive outcome.
youre almost insisting on talking
You insist on mischaracterizing my position. Asking somebody a question ir two is hardly as insisant as you keep making it out to be.
and that just seems odd
To you

So if you value the fellow passengers, best move is not to risk it
There’s a lot of big assumptions built into how you think about risk if the only possible outcomes you can conceive of are negative.
at least not on the plane
Oh yes the plane. Because of the implication, right?
I just feel bad that your outlook is so sad for all of this.
