   @magitweeter @Radical_EgoCom @stinky There's no existence claim that refers to nontangible objects that can be proved or disproved. But no, that's no reason in itself to be agnostic about them.

   I'd argue, e.g., that the claim that God exists and the claim that quarks exist have the same epistemic status. Neither object is directly perceptible. All evidence for either is circumstantial.

   But that's not a reason to be agnostic about the existence claims. People believe or disbelieve such claims based on the worldview they're operating under. If the existence of a intangible object contributes to the functionalit's of the worldview it exists. If its existence detracts it doesn't. If it's neutral then agnosticism is an option.

   Do you think it's possible to prove an existence claim outside of mathematics, where those words have merely technical meanings? Can you give an example of such a proof?

   What does it mean that the DNC is sticking with Genocide Joe?

   Either they're happy to support Israel's genocide or they're deluded that there's no option.

   Do they know that Trump is just one of many mouthpieces for GOP-oligarch fascism?

   Do they see that -- if they really value democracy -- they'll need a candidate willing & able to fight not just Trump, but the whole stinking brigade?

   Just as myriad others have done across the globe, people power could install a fighting candidate.

   Do you remember about when your Coinbase spam/scam calls started?
