Nothing like a crane to step in on a drama?

What will the world be like after its ruler is removed?

Subnormal people, supernatural beliefs...

Like bacon and eggs, or gin and tonic...

I like the music.
Not sure about the title of the thread though.

A photograph will never be good evidence of anything any more. Not without cast-iron corroborration from other sources.
Even video is unreliable on it's own.
While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.

Maybe it is the outliers, the unique one off events, the things that don't repeat so can't be replicated and have no hidden order....that hint at something beyond this universe in the next? :coffee:

The outliers, the unique one off events, the things that don't repeat so can't be replicated and have no hidden order hint at nothing more than that we don't know everything. Your suggestion that they do hint at something is commonly employed as "evidence" that some supernatural force exists. :coffee:

There'ss no "science of the supernatural", there's only science about things whose laws are not yet known.

By definition, that always will apply to things that are beyond current science, since once new laws are discovered, they enter the realm of what is known.

Can't argue with that logic. The modern world, for how much longer it lasts, is built on it. :coffee:
