Name one thing you don't believe in, but you wish was actually true.

LOL. This is great! A few weeks ago the illuminati was some sort of boogeyman. Today, things are so bad @[email protected] is praying for boogeyman to be real. There are some genuinely great answers here but I really identify with this one, personally.

That Democracy can be an effective check on Capitalism. Liberalism is my favorite fairy tale. If all the propaganda I was fed as a kid in the 90s was actually true, I'd be in paradise.

A thing beyond our understanding on this world, I wish that thoses humans on top of the world would understand at least once that they can't control everything, and that the world stays full of wonder

I found a wallet on the ground by a truck outside a store recently that had a lot of cash in it. I looked at the license and while I was heading in to see if they could call the owner I saw the guy rushing back out of the store looking panicked. I gave him his wallet back and he acted like I was the one that took it from him. If I was gonna steal from you I'd have cleaned it out and tossed it asshole. Then later when I mentioned that id found a wallet and returned my coworkers were all giving me shit for not just stealing his money. Not one person out of 8 had any opinion other than just steal it. I already don't have a great opinion of people but that really reinforced my opinion.

That rational and empirical evidence would cause people to reconsider their intuitive perspectives and lead into constructive conversation.

I'll admit, my disbelief in afterlife really doesn't make me fear death because while it's boring, it's only boring for everyone else. For the person dead it's nothing. Boring is a sensation, and death has none of that either. It's neither good nor bad, just nothing.

Don't worry, the aliens will come, and they'll be oligarchs in their society too.

Love. People just use each other.

I’m way too stupid to have any clue what you’re saying. Might as well be Chinese. Lol

Thanks Reagan.

Voltaire said common sense is not so common

Free will. I want to believe I can do as I please and am making decisions that could go either way. But I think it more likely that time is just unwinding, every action a result of some previous actions, all the way back to the big bang and it's impossible to step out of this stream.

Thank you, I’ll have to read it.

@CapriciousDay one of the most common misunderstandings about "razor principles" is that one should completely discard hypothesis that does not pass the razor. The thing is, razor principles is a priority-sorting mechanism, not discarding. The simpliest explanation for everything is God of The Gaps (and that's how Occam's Razor should had work in Occam's reasonings), but we understand that God is not enough.
Same goes for Hanlon's Razor. If stupidity is not enough, you should go with the next hypothesis - malevolent supidity. -
@ParlaMint cryptids. Fun thing is, that makes me extra-sceptical on such sort of things. I'm so willling to believe, that I have to double-check, triple-check any evidence I get just to be sure it is really the thing, not just me wishful-thinking.
