Knowing the Problem of Induction
Through these experiences, I found out how religious people “know” what they know. There could be no doubt, because the words came directly to me while I was experiencing the ecstasy. There was no induction needed, because through those experiences I had the Truth.
This is not about what you think it is.
Well, OK, not so much read, but listen to!
At some point, there will be a loud noise, a sudden lurch (Bora’s departure may even be it), and everyone will abruptly turn and run screaming for the lifeboats. I personally may trample a few women and children to get a good seat. There may be riots and recriminations. Shots will fired, flares will go off, people will be thrown overboard, boilers will explode.

It seems the need to be melodramatic and imagine they have been offended has become a need to do act out a tragedy by dissolving a community. The behavior of Sb is just an excuse to be dramatic, have a public rending of clothing to demonstrate outrage, to stage a sad soliloquy that ends in jump from the cliff in a fit of shame and feigned offense and outrage.
