Nobel prize for QM.

Enjoy this for the drumming. Like the drummer has metronome and clocks for brains. Perfect in precision. And yes! There's only one drummer the entire ...

We will see.

Cobra is here.

Greed is a mile wide and an inch deep. It's really not that hard.
October 03, 2022 at 00:47
Mon dieu! We are not confused here. The attribute of greed can be very much understood by the smallest to the biggest individual. I'm leaving out the ...
October 03, 2022 at 00:42
An example of that is monopoly, which is still very much alive today but hidden behind, for example, exclusive contracts and technological "obsolescen...

You're watching too much movies.
October 02, 2022 at 21:20
You have to understand that greedy individuals do not try to hide the fact. Arrogance comes with greed. Love of power and wealth with no cap is displa...
October 02, 2022 at 21:08
And an example of this is...what?
October 02, 2022 at 20:59
If we could neutralize greed, then we can start looking towards higher human ideals. Until then, it's a fight to the bitter end.
October 02, 2022 at 20:50
lol. Where did this come from? Are you just thinking out loud to yourself? Who in this thread is talking about human emotions?
October 02, 2022 at 16:30
Yes, the most affected are small employers and government employers. I've worked in different firms and I've seen how productivity had gone down, but ...

*sigh* I give up on this thread. It seems that the misunderstanding is rampant here. :roll: @"noAxioms", when you say this..... you are, in fact, exhi...

That mathematical models of the universe is just that -- no actual "reality" was harmed in the making of a model. No fire of life can be felt within a...

I did already tell you. But you seemed to have not grasped what I'm saying. So, please refer to Agent Smith and Banno's explanation of care ethics.
September 28, 2022 at 02:07
No. The marketing industry would insert adverts in every few lines. Next thing, you'll be reading extra virgin olive oil, yogurt, fromage, and travel ...
September 26, 2022 at 00:15
Yes. You and me both.
September 26, 2022 at 00:01
Okay that's correct -- murder is not the first reaction. I'm trying to tell you that what you think is ethics, it's really not. When you use the famil...
September 25, 2022 at 23:14
Yes, it's horrible how for hours on end they're mindlessly on social media. And it's not just children. Even adults who should know better are addicte...
September 25, 2022 at 23:09
And I should qualify my post above by mentioning another ethical dilemma about the man whose wife is dying of cancer but there's a cure, which unfortu...
September 25, 2022 at 03:22
And I'm still stuck here until I articulated enough that this kind of thinking is what we do when we discard ethics and start playing the zero-sum gam...
September 25, 2022 at 03:17
First off, I think you misunderstood what care ethics is. :up:
September 24, 2022 at 22:13
That's fair. To me, whatever action one takes, there's always an imperfect consequence. But it's not necessarily "wrong". No wrong answer. Also, to me...
September 24, 2022 at 18:55
What's your point? How would you respond to the trolley problem yourself? Or have you thought about how you feel about the trolley problem and you fin...
September 24, 2022 at 18:03
Sorry, I still don't get your objections to the quote from Hawking. And I mean by this, that you sound overzealous in laying down your reasons. As goo...

C'est bon. :up:
September 23, 2022 at 01:56
Wrong question. Ethics is the examination of principles that govern the moral behavior of an individual. There's no individuality in tribal relations.
September 21, 2022 at 02:22
Good insight. I'm with you. Fossil fuel, as an example.
September 20, 2022 at 03:10
I disagree. Hawking was simply stating a situation matter-of-factly. If you want to put it in philosophical terms -- Hawking is saying that science do...
September 18, 2022 at 23:12
It can be. For the one that got left behind. When this person I was very closed to decided to do it, my body went into convulsion and I couldn't feel ...

No, quantum states are transmutable, for the purpose of the experiment. The cat can be used in superposition. But the point is to deny that there's su...
September 14, 2022 at 05:17
I think your understanding of what was said is incorrect. Direct experience doesn't just mean "seeing". We experience in all five senses. I can't see ...

You don't put thyme and rosemary?
September 14, 2022 at 04:55
I like bubbles. But not inside me. I drink plain water.
September 14, 2022 at 04:54
Why not just drink plain water? Why do you need bubbles in your drink?

You can look at ancient ruins that were once thriving cities or towns and now a relic of civilization. :yikes:
September 11, 2022 at 21:45
The value of saying this is only poetic or sentimental. It's very common to say this. But it's not a philosophical view. Logic itself doesn't approve ...
September 11, 2022 at 00:47
Okay thanks. I'm copying your recipe. What's the temperature of the oven?
September 07, 2022 at 05:42
What do you do with charred sausage? Burned meat is a carcinogen.

Voir quoi?
September 06, 2022 at 05:18
Non. C'est vrai.
September 06, 2022 at 04:58
Sharp!!
September 06, 2022 at 04:50
Sorry. I don't understand this thread at all.
September 06, 2022 at 03:26
I really find this hard to believe. The signed treaties have made some progress. The Montreal Protocol have almost eliminated CFCs and the Paris agree...

You have well-disciplined macrophages in your blood. Lucky you.

Do you have covid?

Remember that the decision to go to war stems from one issue. It's not a guessing game. One issue. That's all it takes.
