Its only a delusion if you're wrong

"Revelation" was a good way to avoid delusion a couple thousand years ago

That's how the shape of benzene was first theorised.

Here Kekulé spoke of the creation of the theory. He said that he had discovered the ring shape of the benzene molecule after having a reverie or day-dream of a snake biting its own tail (a symbol in ancient cultures known as the ouroboros).

Not really, a day-dream is not a delusion

MLA format would be something like this:

Maneuver, The Picard. The Delusion. Picard, 2023.

Then, in your paper, to reference it, just write "(Maneuver 2023)".

I like IEEE format, in text citations are just square brackets with a number [1]. Trust engineers to be ~~lazy~~ efficient.

I have only known that as the Wikipedia format. But it's obviously the best format. Straight to the point and easy to write.

Beautiful, lol

You can't though, unless said delusion was previously published. You can publish delusions, e.g., in an autobiography, a novel, or even a psychology thesis.

Lmao "delusion" makes this

[–] Zeth0s 9 points 1 year ago

Pretend it's in the "supplementary information". Nobody reads it, with the exception of phd students

[–] standard_error 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As a personal observation—"observation" vs "delusion" is a matter of perspective.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The fact that your observation turned out to be a delusion is irrelevant information

Not a delusion but rather a dream in which August Kekulé found the chemical structure of benzene on his dream

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

the proper use of you're delusional.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA 2 points 1 year ago

I think you cite Emmitt Brown

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hmm. Ask a republican, this is right up their alley

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I wonder why that's so prevalent on the right.

Cuz they thend to be religious nuts, and that goes hand in hand with being very superstisous.
