Frustration Posted April 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 38 minutes ago, ChickenLiberty said: The problem isn't the extent to which regular physics matter. The problem is, your theory cannot be proven or disproven. The way that you are matching surges to these different effects can really be done for anything; even the ones that you think don't fit. For example, using this theory, you could explain emotional allomancy as being based on soulcasting creating certain chemicals. There's way too much freedom in the applications of your theory. The value of a theory is in how it can predict things. A theory that cannot be disproven or proven cannot predict anything useful. In fact, things that can't be proven or disproven are opinions. "Pizza tastes good." I could argue that with somebody that doesn't like pizza for as long as I want, but neither of us will convince each other because you just can't. And if all I'm trying to do is provoke thought in this area, and give my opinion and thoughts on it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fine, but people have been arguing about it. Sharing an opinion is okay, but people arguing over opinions never leads to any good.
