God dammit /lit/ I'm just trying to laugh. Though I shouldn't have mentioned AP.

If you adhere to Materialistic-Empiricism, as contemporary science does, but current technology isn't advanced enough to find evidence or hasn't discovered the right equations yet (perhaps because we don't treat i as ontological reality, as with infinity, zero, etc - given the empirical/materialist approach to understanding reality), then what is "pseudoscience bullshit" today might be experimentally measurable in the far future. Yet because we irrationally take Absence of Evidence as Evidence of Absence (irrationally because the absence of evidence may just be due to our technological infancy (we were riding horses 150 years ago), mathematical illiteracy, faulty method of attaining information (materialistic-Empiricism, if it's wrong, could be to blame) etc) then we don't even entertain the notion that it can be possible, and so have condemned such subjects to anathema, e.i the occult (literally meaning "the hidden" or "the shroud"). So in regards to contemporary science, you're right, it is psuedoscience. But given all that I've said, that's not derogatory in this case as the fault is with contemporary science and scientific thinking, not the subject itself. I, anon, can vouch for its existence, but until it's experimentally (which may never be satisfactorily possible due to its qualia-nature/subject nature as opposed to the object/material nature of science, or may simply take a long time to be viable) measurable there's literally no way, unless we're both supremely mathematically literate, to prove its existence. By that regard, I can't defend against your claim, but hopefully my deeper understanding of the subject will nudge you towards at least entertaining its possibility instead of outright declaring it hocus pocus. After all, some of the greatest minds have been secret occultists. Even the father of modern science, albeit to a small degree, was one.

/lit/ humor threads don't work very well because people like you take yourselves too seriously. If you're aware of that and are just a meta-troll then 9/10 I loled.
