The fact that I just spent five minutes thinking about it proves that it's not ridiculous at all. The scale is different (so far), but I’m not convinced there’s a qualitative difference.

Most people spend more than five minutes a day thinking about things that are ridiculous.

[manyaoman]

Do you? I don't think I do. Unproductive, sure, but not ridiculous.

[mattmaroon]

You literally just did.

[manyaoman]

So I guess your point is that other people think about things that you consider ridiculous. I don't dispute that.

It's because you're deeply ignorant about the subject. Anyone can think ridiculous thoughts in complete ignorance.

Try reading a history book about the holocaust, or even just WW2, and you'll see just how ridiculous you sound.
