How do you know you're omniscient? Even God can't be sure, because by definition he wouldn't know.

Interesting, since he can't know whether he knows everything, he's not omniscient.

I make no apology for the random thoughts I spewed above.

Putnam, REAL Nerds read cutting-edge research straight from the scientific journal they're published in. </NerdShaming>

Real nerds know the x stands for chi and still pronounce it "arks-iv" because fuck you that's why.

[Helgoland]

Wait, that x stands for chi? That makes soooooo much sense...

Unrelatedly, why couldn't God know he was omniscient?

Yeah, the key word in pop-sci publications is "popular", not "science".

Because that would assume that God knows what he doesn't know.

That argument is sort of like saying infinity doesn't exist because, like, you can't know there isn't a real number bigger than all the other ones.

[hops]

Infinity by definition doesn't actually exist, though?

Like, it's neither real nor imaginary. It's an idea, not a quantity.

You can make a number as big as you want but if it's a number then it's not infinity because infinit is not a number.

Heh, people still thinking mathematical constructs come out of physical reality and are not constructs fully independent of all other things. Cute~

The way you worded this. I like it.

* Tiruin nerdly likes this :v

But in a way they do come out of physical reality--by nature of thought and connection. 

Where do you people find those nice-r tests though? (The ones that have a bit of research or scientific appeal and background to them)

[heydude6]

To be fair, a decent amount of the tests were duds. Everyone remember the political alignment one? The colour test and our recent gender one were also quite criticized.

Gonna bully all you nerds above 61.

We are truly the same. I'm also a 61.

This is true suffering.

[Flying Dice]

Some things don't change with the passage of time, eh?

[MetalSlimeHunt]

It honestly verges on unnerving if I think about it in depth. The MZ/MSH synchronization started, some of you might recall, in the days predating Shit Let's Be Thread when a general psychology test was posted and MZ noticed that he and I had a strong vein of exactly equal values. Since then, this has happened so many times that it is starting to qualify as data.
