The problem with anecdotes

When I was a Christian - anecdotes were the life-blood of the Church.

I wish people would see it as immoral.

@hybridamerica

@xenophobe76

Then congratulations!

You are ahead of your time.

I really REALLY love most of your videos.

Thanks, and keep up the great work.

oh yes!i pwned the cube! to change the direction of the cube you concentrate on One corner then really quickly switch to the corner opposite of the corner you originally picked

@QualiaSoup I thought you were just using it as an example/illustration.
Which IS a legitimate use of anecdotes.

I was really happy when the cube flipped

thanks for all the videos QS, I've been finding them useful in my philosophy lessons - it's full of christians spouting anecdotes.

I DID IT. I CONQUERED THE CUBE. All by de-focusing and letting go. Literally making my eyes no longer see and then letting them see again. ie: I concentrated my eyes about 3cm in front of my forehead right between my eyes and then out to my temples and thereby in quick succession made my vision blurry and then moved them back to focusing on the cube and it had switched directions.

I have to be honest. I was working in an old building (1911), and I heard footsteps above me. I thought it was a customer so I ran up and there was no one there. I have no idea what it could have been and I am an atheist who is a strict skeptic, but I would love to actually figure out what can cause this phenomenon. It was incredible to experience it myself. Even afterward I never once considered it to be a soul or a living being.

it's hard to tell when only you know the layout of the building though.
I've had similar things happen and like you, don't like jumping the gun, though I had to investigate and didn't find out immediately.... turns out it was air bubbles in the radiators in the room, causing a sound similar enough to what I thought I heard
