This is Amateur Hour General. This is for all of you with "Big Ideas" which might be bullshit but you want to argue about them and try to assert yourself.

If you have a big ego and little to back it up, if you can make name-drop some vague scientific concepts to "legitimize your claim" without any sort of measurement or studies. That's what we're all about here.


If you've got some dope arguments about science that aren't "proven", bring it here. Claims like "Show me a study" or "false logic" are for people trying to cop out of an argument, unwilling to address points, and instead attempting to "claim victory through forfeit".

If you need some practice writing, using rhetoric to justify your claims and theories, this is the spot. This is proxy-science, because we try to use our understanding of science to produce arguments, but don't actually try to use science.

>Every great scientific discovery was an idea or a premonition before it was codified by empirical data produced by replicable experiments.

We're on step 1, hypothesis, and as we likely don't have the means to further our arguments empirically, we must rely on rhetoric or other indirect means to justify our claims.

Guidelines:
>Post an argument, ask questions
>We engage in rhetoric in an attempt to improve my understanding of the world.
>Use quotes when refuting somebody's argument
>False logic is the seasoning of rhetoric.
>Ad Hom is perfectly fine, just use quotes to back up your claims.
>Don't pussy out of an argument (hit-and-run ad hom)
>Use a name for transparency (Try to remember)
