all the light shooting off into space is waste, so when you're not lighting up a fuckload of billboards and you design your street lights efficiently there won't be so much light pollution.

there's a bunch of rural poverty of course but it's dishonest to talk about that without talking about the trade embargo

wtf-am-i-reading again!

the explanation is the thing that's claimed to have truth value but it's complete bullshit. Observing a process and not having an explanation for why exactly it works is not beyond anything, There are a fuckload of drugs we use in modern medicine that we don't really know all the biochemistry going on, what value is there in inventing ghosts as an "explanation"?

doing something because you observe a result isn't "no reason", the story they made up isn't finding truth at all.

what does any of that have to do with gnosticism? there's very little organized these days, even less in the anglosphere, and the newage crystal hippie woo stuff isn't much older than scientology.
