That would be more flaming than evangelism. Anyhow, not all conspiracy theories are equal, right? Some deserve pretty harsh treatment and instant dism...

It's obviously not irrational to think even democratic governments are capable of reprehensible actions, including against their own citizens (e.g. CO...

Misunderstanding sufficiently clarified.

Or maybe he was liquidized... #basta :clap: :clap:

Has Donnie O'Trump come out to play yet?

Looks like every river I ever saw in China.

So, St. Patrick's Day was invented so Americans could drink green beer and pretend to be Irish, right?

I knew the Shoutbox would eventually come in useful for something.

We don't have to be for the generalized comparison to be absurd just like we don't have to be sure that some nice modern conservative writers aren't n...

Let's play nicely, folks, or posts will start disappearing. And not supernaturally either.

Latin roots though, right? I would guess. Anyway, it reminds me phonically too much of its opposite, "luminous".

Physical theories and calculations rely on mathematics, sure. As for physics relying on mathematics taken to mean the ultimate reality of nature is ma...

OK, this is a nice word-wall critique of science that I have some sympathy with. My point was more specific though and related to the relatively impov...

I think it's useful to distinguish between the largely religiously-inspired concepts of "miracles" and "the supernatural" as boring and unsophisticate...

No. (Not that you asked me or anything).

Tenebrous. Came up regularly in a book I once edited and I had to look it up. It still sounds to me to be the opposite of what it is. But maybe that's...

Contemporary physics, particularly at the extreme micro- and macro- levels is a much richer source of novelty and strangeness than the impoverished na...

...Reflecting the fact that the concepts of "miracles" and the "supernatural" are somewhat incoherent. And the only way they can be rendered coherent,...

I don't have any reason to believe the laws of physics admit of exceptions.

OK, well, no, and I expect this to end up about 80% no. What's your prediction?

That definition would seem to include good magic tricks.

I never expected to get any of these things anyway. Nobody's going to put any Napalm Death lyrics up. Carry on...

The Indians on the highway scene was in the movie too.

I'm pretty sure.

LA woman?

Cross posted. You're not supposed to give it away anyway. Why can't you just wait...

Looks like the Doors.

Hanover's hovel (shower section), Backside of Mt. Banjo, Appalachia, Georgia, 'Murica.

I'm only accepting written letters of inquiry from here on in.

I'll give that one a miss then.

You are? Look at the level of comments I have to deal with: :chin:

That too. :100:

Apologies. I'm currently suffering from the @"Agustino" effect. I'll get over it soon after I log off.

Again...what the polls predicted happened within the margin of error: 538 were 1.5% off and that threw up a scenario they specifically said was signif...

Bugger off, I got there first.

You do know the way to my heart don't you, my lovely? :hearts: If you want to talk in a broader way about the benefits of intuition, we're unlikely to...

It's what's known in the business as hyperbole. Good for selling books. Not so good for making intelligent arguments.

Considering my antipathy for doing anything that would actually result in (much) monetary gain, I am probably heading in that direction.

Because Mao was a savage psychopath who killed millions of his own people. It's a transparently silly and unhelpful comparison. Like comparing conserv...

Not bad. Uses some unfair tactics though like ridiculing and drawing unfair inferences from the transcription of a single lecture excerpt, and could h...

Hippy happy to take anything on. Science vs. truthiness. May the best one win!

And the whole thing is in danger of being pointless otherwise. If you get a simple binary choice right, it could just as well be down to chance. If yo...

You realize you can use qualitative methods to predict numbers right?

:sparkle: :100:

Oops - edit.

I hope he's not sharing porn again. :gasp:

You can give a screenshot of it and blank out the names and content. Then we can investigate.

I'm not going to go in circles on this. The fact remains that you've given no basis to take any of your claims seriously. And it's pointless for you t...

My Youtube search went awry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IR52QHR-2a4
