@FlohEinstein@chaos.social kidding aside, that's part of the premise of Carl Sagan's The Demon-Haunted World.

@FlohEinstein@chaos.social Conversely: "Any sufficiently simple-seeming problem invites a similarly simple, yet, crude, solution." In other words: "If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail." I am pretty sure that's how ACC derived his popular phrase. But I am probably wrong, because of my hammer.

@FlohEinstein@chaos.social One time when working a Dev job writing and fixing Java, I had this insane bug that kept cropping up, but seemingly had no cause. I decided I'd better walk away from the problem for a bit, so I opened up kijiji and wrote a classified ad looking for a witch doctor to reverse the curse on my code (which I had decided was a *mummy's curse*). I got two replies right away. One was from a friend who had correctly guessed I was behind the ad. The second was a Christian zealot who though I was dead serious and tried to get me to accept Jesus into my life. I think something was stuck in a cache somewhere in the CI pipeline.
