        True, but I often feel like people use Poe’s law as an excuse not to engage mentally. It’s really uncharitable, actually.

        Like, I can hold the view “is sincere” and “is sarcastic” in my mind simultaneously until something confirms or denies one.

        And it’s not like it matters that much. If he’s sincere, I’ll say "wow, that’s crazy, " and if he’s not, I’ll say “wow, that would be crazy.”

        [e] Just to clarify, I see now he’s a Fox news contrib. So, he’s paid to be nuts.

    So…. If I’m reading this right, because the giant ball of acid that eats spacecraft before they can do any meaningful exploration on the surface remains a ball we don’t have to worry about becoming more similar to said ball of acid?
