Well that didn't sound psychotic at all.

I don't know where this is coming from. Why would empirical verification be a problem if an item is independent of us?
February 18, 2025 at 13:46
Newton's conception of time was as something independent of us, right?
February 18, 2025 at 12:45

February 18, 2025 at 04:07
If Carlo Rovelli is right that time is coming from the way we perceive the universe, then time exists, it's just not what we often conceive it to be, ...

What?
February 17, 2025 at 23:48
The US debt is mainly to US banks.
February 17, 2025 at 23:19
I think all large banks keep foreign currency reserves.
February 17, 2025 at 22:25
It's better than military influence, right?
February 17, 2025 at 21:51
You know, Japan started that.
February 17, 2025 at 21:49
Thank you!

Mark Blyth said the Russians asked the Chinese to ditch the dollar (which could have resulted in a run on the dollar). The Chinese refused because the...

How do Americans benefit from the dollar being used in global trade? It's just something the world did because of perceived American stability.

EU countries were terrible vassals. They never paid any tribute. :grin: How so?

Thank you for saying this. I wish Mikie the best. I hope he finds a way to let go of whatever it is that makes him lean into bitterness. I hope he fin...

I'm just saying that it looks like you flamed for years and years, and now you want the moderators to do something about the fact that your thread is ...
February 16, 2025 at 16:39
This is another of Mikie's comments from a week ago: If what we desire is a high quality thread, maybe cut down on the childish flaming? I mean, these...

This is a comment from Mikie to Agree-to-Disagree from a week ago:
February 16, 2025 at 15:02
Then your point is that they should ban Agree-to-Disagree? I think he's the only person who posts on that that thread with any regularity (other than ...
February 16, 2025 at 14:31
Why not make a new thread devoted to climate change links, like a reddit style listing. Leave the climate change thread for general discussion, includ...

Some languages have two verbs that mean "to be.". One is for matters of identity, and the other is for transient states. That probably affects the way...
February 15, 2025 at 23:24
That's ok. I've thought a lot about time and identity. Just wondering what your thoughts were. :up:
February 15, 2025 at 22:53
What is the nature of identity?
February 15, 2025 at 22:46
So they're the same, but they're not the same?
February 15, 2025 at 22:42
So they aren't actually different.
February 15, 2025 at 22:33
Well, didn't you say the Banno from the past is different from the Banno in the present? So they couldn't be in the same room at the same time, right?...
February 15, 2025 at 22:26
Can anything from the past coexist with the stuff in the present?

Some expected him to announce a massive withdrawal of troops from Europe. That didn't happen. Yet.
February 15, 2025 at 14:38
True. https://i.imgur.com/c1DsVOV.jpeg

Lopsided, yes. "America First"

The US domestic market.
February 15, 2025 at 05:16
I think the goal is to shut the rest of the world out of the US market.
February 15, 2025 at 03:42
Keepin' it real, man.
February 14, 2025 at 20:09
You're misunderstanding me. I was being completely honest. I wanted you to think about it going forward.
February 14, 2025 at 20:02
What does that have to do with anything?
February 14, 2025 at 20:01
Very funny.
February 14, 2025 at 19:59
This was my goodbye message to him. Don't defend abusive people.
February 14, 2025 at 19:55
Dude. She was abusive to everybody every single day.
February 14, 2025 at 19:54
And you really believe this is what was happening?
February 14, 2025 at 19:52
Mikie was just one long stream of verbal abuse. There wasn't even any philosophy in it. Just abuse. You defended her every step of the way. Why did yo...
February 14, 2025 at 19:36
You defended people who were abusive. Maybe don't do that in real life.
February 14, 2025 at 18:54
It occurs to me that democracy probably wouldn't mean much to a sociopath.
February 13, 2025 at 17:26
Gaslighter. :lol:
February 13, 2025 at 17:21
I think you're the usual suspect in this case. You're repeating manufactured talking points like a good little soldier. :grin:
February 13, 2025 at 16:51
Biden didn't defy the Supreme Court.
February 13, 2025 at 16:39
So why do people freak out like they're losing something? Why the lamentations in this thread?
