“believe in wi-fi”

If you don’t believe wi-fi exists, you’d be a fool.

i don’t believe in wifi, just like i don’t believe in trees. i know they’re there. that requires no belief.

The belief would be that your senses aren’t being actively deceived. Also, that you’re not a Boltzmann brain hallucinating in the void.

I personally believe all the axioms of science apply. It’s still fun to poke at them.

the atheist says “i will not believe”. the agnostic says “i can not believe”. one is as dogmatic as the beliefs they purport to refute, the other lacks the capacity for dogma, as belief for them is simply not possible.

Belief in a null is a lot more reasonable than belief in something so powerful it can pretend to be a null.

Belief that I am not in a Truman show like environment is a lot more reasonable (without evidence) than belief that I am in a Truman show, and they are doing a perfect job.

That doesn’t mean I don’t try disproving the null hypothesis.

Honestly? Without evidence, they’re both equally probable. And believing, or refusing to believe in a god or something, are both faith of equal measure.

It’s just whether someone thinks their version is faith is more realistic than the opposite.
