I wonder if her death will activate renewed debate about the monarchy in the UK? I would love to see the end of the monarchy in the UK, just because I...
:lol: Really! Poor Charlie, better to end the Monarchy than be responsible for the age of Caroline. What would it be if wee Prince wullie took over in...
Maybe I am too and don't even know it. Victorian, Georgian, Elizabethan age all seem to roll of the tongue quite well but how do you do this with Char...
Well, now you know what you were doing and where you were when King Charles III ascended to the throne of the UK! A wee tale to tell in your dotage, m...
That sounds like a good priority to have in life. He had his best friend with him, played by Charlton Heston! He was behind the glass and he spoke to ...
When you combine two separate entities then the attributes of both entities are combined in every way possible. If x=2 and y=3 then xy can have any op...
Your last argument was based on metal weights in the real world, I see no difference between separation based on physical weight and separation based ...
Combining an apple and a pear will have a quite distinct taste, compared to tasting an apple or tasting a pear. So, the combination produces a new ent...
In my opinion, yes, but you simply asked for opinions of what was common about the questions you posed in the OP. Anthropocentric was the first common...
Your claim is easy to understand, but it is also wrong. Why would the fact that a time duration is needed to join or separate fundamentals mean that a...
By what rule or logic do you claim that IT FOLLOWS, that 6g of metal exists (or any weight of metal > the 3g that actually exists in total). You alrea...
Its like you are playing arithmetic tricks. You imply the weights are real for your 1g, 2g and 3g posit and then notional for your 6g step. This remin...
I don't think I have missed the point; you are taking an illogical step. You cannot create this extra member of the collection in the real world of ha...
6g would not be a member based on the concept of weight if your fundamentals are 1g and 2g weights. All you can have is 1g, 2g and 1g+2g or 2g+1g whic...
But this is the point being made. Algebraic fundamentals like x and y create a new object when combined. Let's say an instantiation is x=2 and y=3 the...
No, it's not, you made two references to the same object. You referenced the same object by its name and its job title. That's like two ways of descri...
From the on-line philosophical encyclopaedia: Traditionally, mathematical platonism has referred to a collection of metaphysical accounts of mathemati...
Ah, now I see where you are getting the 87,000 from. That is an isophotal (based on the brightest part of the milky way) approximation for the diamete...
My mother spends a lot of time reminiscing and talking about the past and events in her life. It's a nice way to spend time with family over drinks et...
It's true that lifeforms like humans create categories or even convenient ontological groupings. Every time I wrote a substantial computer program, I ...
So, imagine similar experiences a few thousand years ago and you have just explained where the details of the majority of all god fables originate. A ...
Sounds like an earlier but familiar stage. Keep at it, its fun, harmless and can generate rewards. It can also actually help you fall asleep as one pa...
I think this is true, you need to be able to know you are dreaming and focus/concentrate on what you want to happen and if the dream scene changes you...
I seemed to develop lucid dreaming from my late 20's onwards (I am now 58.) I remember having a lot of nightmares as a child and I got a 'bout' of the...
Yes, a tree is a combination as is a grain of sand, a rock or a star. They need no lifeform to exist as combinations of fundamentals. For the vast maj...
Well, I can only speak for myself but I do experience lucid dreams and I seem to remember dream details quite well and quite often. I can fight and ki...
The 'extra things' come from combination of the fundamentals, in your example, the fundamentals would be x, y and z. If photons, electrons and quarks ...
I don't want to bring the tone down here but erotic lucid dreams can be very interesting indeed but how far can you get? Climax? I think this is inter...
As I already typed Tom, I have no recollection of every typing the phrase, 'skepticism is self-refuting.' I also did not type that I agreed with it. I...
I don't recall ever typing the phrase 'skepticism is self-refuting,' If I did then I copied it from somewhere as it's seems greater than my skills as ...
Humans can only be broadly categorised. Such categorisations are always going to be quite limited in accuracy and functionality when applied to a part...
:up: No worries. If the many worlds theory is true then you have already answered me in every way possible, superpositionally speaking of course. whic...
I agree, and it also depends on whether or not all the superpositions of you are all connected as you. They are not clones of you or separable from yo...
Google reports: In epistemology, the Münchhausen trilemma, also commonly known as the Agrippan trilemma, is a thought experiment intended to demonstra...
It depends on how true 'superposition' is. In the many words theory you can think of an elephant and not think about it at the same time, just not in ...
Yeah? I am not academically qualified in philosophy, Computing Science is my expertise but I always considered descartes statement to be presented as ...
Do you want to be rescued? You have no idea what might happen in the time you have left. There may be more people you need to help and if you are not ...
The real lives of people are far more interesting that fiction. I have just finished the memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant. His portrayal of the Mexican war...
Free comfortable housing, food, water, power, education, medical and social care for everyone born on the Earth, from cradle to grave. Such a system w...
I do and I don't know the details of the rift in your own family but I had many major fall outs with siblings and my parents in my life. My mother was...
