What do we imagine that's going to end up smelling like? Especially if Peter really works up a lather, like he's done in his last couple of media hits
The requisite refrigeration equipment causes "shrinkage," just like George suffers in that one Seinfeld episode, bing bong so simple
Now, getting the quantum hardware to the point of service, so to speak, is the obvious challenge, and that's why I'm seeking funding for multiple container trucks so we can realize Uber for QC
Hmm, yes, I must develop a numerical function to determine whether or not somebody doesn't like me...

I have a degree of appreciation for Chapman because he was willing to more-or-less call out Yuddite rationalism as a failure and start to gently guide people away from it. But I also came to the conclusion that his whole project has never fully escaped the self-aggrandizement/self-importance inherent to the rats. That ultimately leads to the performative humility and "radical acceptance" that make so many attempts at appropriating non-Western religions to US culture ring completely hollow.
Broadly, the whole TPOT/post-rationality/meta-rationality thing still stinks like a bunch of people who thought advanced degrees and/or advanced technical skills would earn them a lot more compensation and social status than they actually ended up with, and are still dead-set on getting all that by hook or by crook.

Despite Mr. Davis' commitment to verbose apologetics, his faith movement is based around the devotional practice of wandering around pulling spurious probability estimates out of one's ass
A recent innovation on this practice, among the degenerate indulgence-retailers of the movement, is the posting of graphs showing hopelessly low-liquidity betting pools on prediction market websites
We have at least one major worked example of that in Scientology, but IIRC many of the rats are reluctant to even accept that
Unironically, this was surely the primary design brief.
