L'éléphant

Thank you for the update. Indeed, something pissed him off here. I don't know what to say to make him feel better and help him to not get carried away...

I will consider this a joke until further notice.

It's also dangerous.

Aristotle's eudaimonia -- the purpose of humans is eudaimonia.

I was referring to the video that Lionino posted above. The video calls it mereological nihilism -- a term I've never heard of before, but their expla...

Let's leave at that.

Yeah, what happened to T Clark? Recycled stuff. The ancients had been there, done that.

It is not that mathematics differ in every culture -- there is a standardization of mathematics across societies. Just like there is a standardization...

That'll be for another day. Not sure if I accept the block universe. Thanks for the link. Good read. I can't call spacetime a substance because a subs...

All for the best. :razz:

Let's chill! https://youtu.be/7aqv17qtJ0s

Whatever posts you've written in the forum which I had read, I liked your posts. You seem to be level-headed to me. I didn't say this earlier because ...

Jesus! That would cripple me to the point of not being able to participate in a forum like this. The fact that you're here and having that condition i...

Yes, you were misunderstanding. Your conception of spacetime is metaphysical, but what I was trying to explain is it is more than metaphysical -- in f...

This is a poorly written question and certainly written to arouse the reactionary responses, not the intelligent responses. There is accountability. I...

Thank you. No, that should stay that way. It's good to know less -- it's the thought that counts. And of you, as well -- good to know you are one of t...

How is a whole paragraph of my answer not show at all that spacetime don't exist?

They are not substances. If you recall Aristotle, and others, have written about things like substance, form, essence, etc., all within the template o...

I know. Caring is hard. Like loving is hard. :wink: You need to outsmart them, Baker. Write it differently instead of using words that betray your und...

You'll know them by the essays they write. haha! :lol: They write for themselves, and it's not a two-way communication -- they'll respond to you but n...

This here is something you don't get to say and be awarded the interpretation that it is joke. I avoid using this word when I'm joking. I only ever sa...

Space-time is always a part of existence. I don't know if "property" is the correct word. We can't perceive anything unless it's space-time because ou...

Someone with conviction!

I think the question should be -- how do you perceive a forum member. So, if I'm answering it this way, I'd say @"Noble Dust" will explain anything if...

Whatever you say, dude.

"What goes around comes around". This doesn't always happen. Some bad actions never got consequences.

I didn't say that's the full story. I'm just stating the fact that no one opposed to it once it's in effect. So, everybody contributed to the deficits...

My point is, you cited one example of his bill, and then you went on to criticize it. I responded by saying, that while the democrats did not vote for...

You have to think outside the box. They didn't have to vote yes, but they knew it was going to pass and become a law. Math works. They all benefited f...

:sweat: Well, the AC is put to good use. :100: :lol:

Heaven is impossible to create on Earth. But hell is easy.

That is indeed amusing because at these temps, we wouldn't feel the difference. The skin's receptors are numb.

Where in my post did I say that Trump controlled the economy that was doing well. I stated a platitude -- the economy was doing well. A great economy ...

I was reading how the economy was under his leadership and the economy was actually going well. When the pandemic hit, it was used against him like a ...

I don't follow the day to day american politics. I look at trends and studies. Trump seems to be the only one that is a "brash vulgarian" and a maveri...

I reviewed my posts previously and I don't see where I said this. Please tell me where to find this thought? But let's say, to answer your question --...

It looks like it is working. In 2017 or 2018, an independent (rather academic) study was conducted about the strength of Trump's candidacy. It was ver...

Good point. Apparently, we would need an additional 30% increase in electricity production if all cars are EVs.

The one person that can answer this is @"Athena".

A thought which puzzles me. Why is it that there's not an all-out apparent in his personal and public lives? He's been hounded in all directions.

I think Trump is going to win the Republican caucus. Only an AI could run against him. Thoughts?

So I guess this is now the thread.

:rofl:

I think, though, the carbon footprint is much less because of zero emissions. I guess we have to look at it this way-- we can't get rid of cars comple...

Time is the biggest objection against the public transit, I think. What could take a 15 minute drive, would take an hour or more on a bus. So, if you'...

Runs on fuel. A conventional car. So drive less, is what you're saying.

This is true. To me part of accomplishing something is get it done by certain amount of time. I sometimes allow a bit of a grace period, but nonethele...

I can only find studies on children, young children on violent video games. How and when they act out this gaming in actuality is something I'm not su...

On this thread, I'm not going to make a for-or-against decision on the violent video games and other forms of violent entertainment. But I want to poi...
