There's two sides to the coin.

Emotion traps people. We want there to be recognition of racial bias in society so that DAs can't get away with just ignoring the murders of black men...

https://youtu.be/_izocEgArtQ Spacetime gets philosophical.

It's like why is string theory right? bla bla. Why is string theory wrong? anti-bla anti-bla.

People always want to pit their best against somebody else's worst so as to declare themselves the winner. Pfft.

Well put, Franky.

Definitely. It's effective for buying time to get vaccinated. I wish I could say the US learned something from this. I think some states could pull it...

:up:

Because it works better. It was inevitable.

I think if he'd spent more time writing like a normal person instead of a raving maniac, his opponents would have less to work with.

So if you get symptoms and you get a positive test, ask your doctor for the Eli Lilly drug. Oh, wait. The Lilly one is on hold. I would ask for one of...

I've been in a study through my doctor. I do an antibody test every month and they get a picture of the test results. The tests have always shown that...

Hey, I did an antibody test and it was negative. I'm getting a booster this afternoon.

"Law" being another way to say "stable.". If we're in a stream where everything is moving at the same speed, everything around us will be stable. To r...

"SYDNEY — Thousands of people took to the streets of Sydney and other Australian cities on Saturday to protest lockdown restrictions amid another surg...

So you give yourself a big pat on the back for feeling pity for your father? You expect others to? Really?

Then it wasn't what Nietzsche was talking about. But then, it wasn't really a virtue, was it? You felt sorrow for your pending loss, you felt grief be...

Right.

So your intestines have anticipitive directionality toward shitting. So that's what intestineses are about? Sort of, yes.

Nietzsche's condemnation of pity is pretty easy to understand. He was concerned about the psychological effects of pity. If I pity you, I lead you to ...

Buy then intention wouldn't be involved, right?

If birds call out a warning sound related to the presence of a hawk, do we assume the aboutness if it shows that the birds are thinking? Or should we ...

Covid symptoms are all over the spectrum, so we do a lot of testing. I don't get involved unless they need help with breathing or oxygenation. At this...

I meant the beginning of the pandemic. I was being kind of ironic. Our ancestors did wars and depressions. We did a minor pandemic. I don't know, it's...

Oh. That's because they don't need to know.

This sounds like something you heard and now you're repeating it. American private aid

Dark days. More art please.

Remember when there was no toilet paper?

Awesome! The guy from the Mayo clinic says everybody is going to get delta. It's that contagious.

Probably not. Btw, even people who are vaccinated are getting the delta, so vaccination doesn't stop transmission. It keeps people from getting really...

Ok then.

There's nothing circular about beliefs supporting beliefs. It happens all the time. ?

I don't think so. It's just a little more nuanced than you're allowing Theyre supported by belief that has no foundation.

Ask @"Banno". If he's in a good mood he will explain it to you.

Yes.

It is. Witty agrees.

That's not a belief system.

Just that every belief system is supported by faith.

I don't think wisdom accumulates. I think it comes and goes, so everyone could benefit from reading a past post or journal.

Did you see the Netflix version of that? It was pretty good.

Any belief system is built off of unthinking confidence demonstrated by actions. We analyze our actions and say they were based on assumptions. This k...

Because they're corrupt.

That's at the base of any belief system tho.

Awarding contracts can be a good way to get things done. It can definitely backfire, but public operations can also fail spectacularly. Both methods a...

I think NY did that too, and it was a fiasco. My state used the county health departments with assistance from the National Guard, so mostly public, w...

One time you said to be thankful to people who show you what you're good at. I still think about that one.

I think you're like that guy who wanted revenge on a whale. I'm sure at some level you realize it's just a whale.

I bid one and a half turds.

Exactly. It's myopic to think of climate change just from our own perspective. That's like a flea assessing an elephant.
