No, we're definitely all going to die. Especially you.

Fair enough. I'll leave you to it.

Subjective and objective can be defined as we like. Usually, they're taken to be ways of organizing information. Subjective information is from a part...

I believe it does, and the OP can't address that problem.

Computer models indicate that anthropogenic global warming will cause us to stay in the present interglacial. Most of the CO2 will be absorbed into th...

It's on the left for me, but not for you. That's what it does.

"The handle is on the left." This statement is apt to be subjectively true or false, but not objectively either.

Statements that are taken to be objectively true or false.

Doesn't this argument end up disallowing objective information altogether? Or did you already address that?

Can you get the Youtube channel PBS Space Time? The commentator is Australian. I was just listening to one of his broadcasts about inflation theory. I...

The Sahara will become a prairie when the glaciers come back. Human homecoming.

We're in an ice age.

I guess I don't.

The equation V=IR expresses proportionality. Resistance is mentioned. We can divide apples among people. If you examine the voltage drops in a circuit...

Second sentence of the OP. The OP assumes the reader knows Ohm's Law.

The OP did.

The Algonquin, Siouxan, Iroquois, Muskogee, Apache, Seminiole, etc. would have said the same, I guess. Those are all distinct language groups, btw, so...

People who feel like they're losing their culture are worth sympathy. It's potentially a source of volatility. It would be better to guard the old cul...

Chomsky points out that the meaning of "physical" has changed over time. With acceptance of electromagnetism, the old type of physicalism died. So wha...

I dont think he was born in the US. He just wants to pose as an American, for whatever reason.

You give the impression that you're in here with us struggling to make sense of what's happening. You're not. You're just having fun.

He's a Agustino clone. It may actually be Agustino. Who knows?

For those who missed it: though NOS4A2 claims to have been born in the US, he admits to now living outside the US. He's just a fun little troll.

You smell like gulag.

Could you explain why that's problematic? Is it a problem with resources to accommodate the immigrants?

Only if the load has multiple elements in series. If the load has parallel elements, each element enjoys the same voltage drop. A common example of a ...

I had a hard time watching it. The message seemed to be that happiness is death. Or that we're too consumed by hatred to choose happiness. Or that we ...

It's just that I know a lot of people who would laugh in my face if I told them the government is supposed to secure justice. They would say that it p...

What does Soviet ice cream taste like? I watched Tarkovsky's Stalker recently. I don't recommend it.

I think you're seeing justice as the purpose of government (or at least part of the purpose?) That's a fascinating perspective and it's a little alien...

Am I right that you think of democracy as a tool rather than a goal in and of itself?

I think you're saying that it's a tool for creating healthy societies? Or are you saying its the best option for individuals?

Obviously he doesn't mean just cheese-makers, but rather dairy producers of all kinds.

@"Wayfarer" Do you have any thoughts about this?

It's considered by physicists to be a physical object. Do you disagree with them?

Cool. So why is the electromagnetic field a physical object, but a temperature field is an abstract object?

There's no clear cut answer. Whether a temperature field is a physical or abstract object (it's certainly not a mental object) is a philosophical ques...

I think you mean abstract object. A number is an abstract object. Is that what temperature fields are?

Cool. What kind of object is a temperature field?

Temp and pressure relate by way of volume. They only track with a constant volume. A temperature field is not the same thing as an electromagnetic fie...

Electromagnetic field (the universal one) and a gravitational field. Why would we think of them as the same field?

Fine. Two fields can occupy the same space. How's that?

They do at the center of a black hole, don't they? Time stops, so I don't know if "same time" means anything there.

How about sniffing out Soviet era junk to sell on eBay?

I would think that inviting people to do things would be really easy.

Just invite people to understand "majority" as dominant. There's no need to wage war over what It means. It means whatever we decide it means. This is...

Wander the Russian countryside like a monk.

I'm jealous. I hope you go to St. Petersburg and tour the Hermitage on behalf of all the people who would love to see it but can't.

Your blood-vodka level is just low.

The history of white house press coverage shows that americans do become uneasy if coverage appears to be blocked. But what did we get from Sarah Sand...
