Great! So based on evidence and reasoning, what is your credence that the following claim is true?
Some bad actors know this and will deliberately give a woman LSD/MDMA with the purpose of getting her in a vulnerable/altered state so that he can have sex with her, without making any of these motives explicit upfront.
And what is your credence that either of the following claims are true?
No bad actors will deliberately give a woman LSD/MDMA with the purpose of getting her in an altered state so he can have sex with her
Bad actors who want to do this will make their motives explicit upfront
“Some” ranges from 2 or 3 people to every person but one. There’s not much point debating a claim so vague.
If your intention is to work out whether OP means “2 or 3 people” or “every person but one” or anything in between, it would have been helpful to clarify.
The reason I say this is because it’s common for people to ask innocuous questions with a more insidious subtext, and it’s often hard to tell this from people asking when you are online.
One possible reading of your series of questions is that you’re coming from a place where you are skeptical that this is happening, and you’re asking OP to provide evidence for you to update. But most of this evidence is going to be anecdotal, so it’s not going to be super helpful for you in terms of getting a rate. So I’m struggling to follow where your starting point is in terms of what you believe is happening in these communities, how you’re reading into OP’s claim, and what level of evidence you’re expecting from OP in order to update.

I never even commented on motives being explicit. I deliberately boldened the text I was asking about.

Anecdotes attesting to premeditation would cause me to update.
