Fuck. Alright. Okay.

I heard they're trying to make the world's third largest ball of twine somewhere in that area.

Let's see ...

Okay, keep going straight from Bretton.

There's a town called Alarana about 500 miles further, and another called Callasha about 80 miles after that.

In Callasha, there is something called the Great Enormous Ball of Something. It's over three miles in circumference and weighs over 2,000 metric tons, which is a lot of mass to contain inside a ball. People have not seen inside, but it is made of wax, so they speculate it must be a hollow ball.

If you go 3 miles north of Callasha, there is something called the Center of the Milky Way Galaxy. This is a sphere with a very high density of starlight, and not much else. If you look out at it, you will see a few stars but nothing else. It's like trying to see a sun in your hand.

(If you zoom in with a magnifying glass, though, it's a little funnier.)

Continue north for a few miles and then east. There is something called an Eight-Fold Heat Diffusion Particle.

Also, that route will take you past a town called Paltryville. If you stop there, you will be lucky, because you will get to see something called the last remaining inhabited house of Paltryville.

The town was nearly deserted when people began making more houses, and then it was deserted entirely. Finally, one house survived, and that is all that's left.

Continue east and then south for about a day, and you will eventually reach your destination.

At the end of your trip, if you had travelled 500 miles in total, you will have found yourself in the same place you started.

Hope this helped.

Yes, I think there’s a small chance the answer is incorrect, but I don’t think it should be a problem for Rose to conclude that Kanaya does not meet the conditions for doubt.

A little background: I think I mostly agree with the sentiment in question (though, as always, I’m not allowed to say that directly).  But I do want to put it into an argumentative shell, so I’ll just type out a couple of points that seem more important than they are.  No sense in wasting time on this stuff, when we’re just talking about the questions.  But it’s necessary: I’m not saying I think Rose cannot see things are people should not be saying in this field.  I think Rose can see the big picture.  I’m not saying it’s okay for Rose to just articulate the big picture.  I’m saying Rose’s task is to persuade, and in this he could make his task a heck of a lot more difficult than it is, but he should be able to do so, and he must be able to do so.

The big picture is this: whatever could be wrong with the “smear theory” is probably wrong with complete consistency (in the worst sense of the word – as a matter of how things ought to be).   Rose knows what it means to be a Bayesian, in the colloquial sense of the term: to not change your beliefs unless there is a crystal clear “evidence” that would make you change.   The problems with the original GM which were so devastating to AM are not problems with the “evidence”.

Yeah, the “did I ever fuck” part is definitely one of the weirdest parts of the show.  Like, if it’s making some sort of profound statement about some person or situation, the audience has the potential to have a massive emotional response.  But if it’s just a bunch of scenes involving what look like random people having sex because that’s what happens when you put them in a room together for too long, that’s not a very satisfying way to react.  (If it were, the show would have fewer scenes like that.)
