I used to be strictly materialist and atheist. Now I’m pretty spiritual. Don’t necessarily follow a religion and don’t support bigotry but yeah, I’m fairly spiritual now. This is a recent development and I never thought I’d be here like 5 years ago.

I used to be anti-nuclear energy until I learned a bunch of science and engineering behind it. Turns out things are less scary when you know more about them.

Edit: I also learned that it’s okay, and usually preferable, to not have a strong opinion about things that you don’t know about.

Doesn’t matter how great the engineering is behind it, it’s the human part that scares me.

I suppose that is true of everything in the world though. Cars jump to mind pretty quickly.

And as we can see cars are a disaster in every way shape or form. People routinely misuse them, luckily the harm they do is taking out a family of four as some drunk or distracted driver crashes into them. When a nuclear power plant fails, it takes out an entire city.

But there are many more car accidents, so the cities are taken out anyway, but one family at a time.
