Re: Why is this forum entitled Science/Math/Philosophy
I find that, even though the arguments often grind to a halt or twist off into uninteresting tangents, they raise problems with the way I think that never occurred to me (or which I dismissed without fully considering their merits). SMP is full of smart people with weird ideas who arent shy about defending them. I think there's value in hearing intelligent wackos justify positions you'd never give a moment's thought to.
It's easy enough to determine which threads hold no interest for you and just skip over them.
