Where is the rigging and cheating? Those words imply rules that have been broken. There's no cheating.

Well, you said this: What rigging and cheating?

So you're saying you never intentionally post stuff that's wrong? You'd have to be delusional if that's true. C'mon.

You do it all the time. I thought you were doing it on purpose. No?

This is the effect of misinformation: you post so much stuff that's obviously wrong that I don't make any assessment of your posts. Does freedom of sp...

His campaign specifically wanted to increase his support among blacks from 12% to 20%. I don't think he accomplished that.

We do, don't we? I agree with you that it's ok that "red" refers to a range of frequencies (that might vary per setting.). But when it starts changing...

More great news for the climate: New 4th generation nuclear power plant goes into construction in Tennessee

Yes.

That's cool. Please watch this: https://youtube.com/shorts/7f-4xCVqQh8?si=Jp1sRoEAYS8Ux7cx

Does it make you have massive amounts of gas?

Good point. We should go back to gelatinous cubes with special virtual reality neuron hats that will make it taste like whatever you want.

You're right on both counts. It highlights the way Harris is normal compared to Trump and Vance. And it's catchy. Trump is probably secretly applaudin...

Mainly that it's the kind of thing that would make it immoral to eat plants. We could develop some kind of artificial protein gelatinous cubes to eat....

I think that one works. It doesn't come off as bullying because Trump is such a bully himself. Plus it's true, Trump and JD are weird.

What if plants can think, but they just can't communicate with us. Or maybe they try, but we don't get it.

Did you know the eye has evolved independently about 50 times on earth? Crazy.

I mean, the name is a social convention and being able to pick it out might be a matter of cultural norms, but the color itself probably has to do wit...

Some religions foster resignation and acceptance, though.

Yea.

Could you explain how misinformation works? Is it supposed to be picked up by bots? Is it supposed to become part of a cloud of misinformation so that...

:grin: Do you know why the ancient Greeks never developed the idea of zero? (Without asking an AI) :lol:

Well, having no term limits on the SCOTUS means that it reflects the way Americans have been voting over the span of a generation or so. That's the re...

Sorry. I was just bored.

I have no idea what that means

Cat lady.

I guess not. But if a field is bound to logic, it will be a demonstration of logic, won't it? Couldn't describing and demonstrating both be kinds of s...

This sounds like something a cat lady would say. Do you have a cat?

Yea, I guess I'm using to describe and to express to mean the same thing. Maybe it's more that if you've seen the expression, the description has been...

Yes. Since physicists insist on using logic, the whole of physics is an expression of logic.

This is interesting because this issue generalizes. It may be that there is no such thing as agreement in anything. Yes, we assume that there is, but ...

I think some of the misinformation is collected from people going through psychosis.

True

You want a serious answer about how the telephone system is run by a computer? What's your background in electronic engineering?

Do you want a schematic?

? The telephone system is run by a computer. What I described is the way representation is understood in the computational theory of mind.

I think we just have a terminology issue. For you, the word "representation" means Descartes. That's confusing to me because most theories about cogni...

I think that's because where you are everything is upside down.

It's in the SEP article on embodied cognition. Look at the paragraph on phenomenology. I guess it's an extreme version of the idea?

A lot of his supporters do want a dictator. His running mate believes democracy should be replaced with monarchy.

"Surprise rests on predictions about sensations, which depend on an internal generative model of the world." "Perception optimizes predictions by mini...

Is there an article in Nature about the that?

I'm not all that interested in Trump. I'm more interested in what his popularity means for the future. When asked about his authoritarian language, he...

I see. :up:

Incentive for what?

Sort of. I could ask an artist if she's familiar with true Prussian blue, and if she is, ask her to create it with paint. In this case, Prussian blue ...

Red is Arizona, driving toward Phoenix. It smells like burning Juniper.

The concept of red and the property of redness belong to the whole community. You can speak of them either subjectively or objectively. When you say y...

"You know, FDR 16 years — almost 16 years — he was four terms. I don’t know, are we going to be considered three-term? Or two-term?” Trump quipped at ...

"we'll have it fixed so good you're not going to have to vote.". --Trump People who vote for Trump think we need a dictator. Do we?
