When you say you you're coming by to spice things up, what does that entail?
July 19, 2020 at 02:18
We have the opposite thing going here. As the Covid cases started to increase, the major cities (Atlanta, Athens, Savannah) all started to impose more...

Where do you live?

I just flew from Atlanta to Salt Lake, drove to Utah, then went to Montana and Wyoming. Been working from the office every day since the pandemic star...

Nice knowing you.

Most people generally are not interested in philosophy, at least the sorts of issues we talk about here. Unless you have data suggesting otherwise, I'...

From the photos, appears to be a shit hole. /uploads/files/ms/ityp9q2glpzjujbk.jpeg

Does make sense. Factoid for you. The panhandle of Oklahoma was given to it by Texas in order to keep Texas entirely in the South so it could remain a...

I don't follow this conclusion from the Galton box example. The epistemological claim is obvious: I don't know where the ball will land. The metaphysi...

How is this claim philosophical? If we're asking what the four basic foundational pillars of humanity are, I'd suspect it'd be best addressed by an an...

The dead people ought to get the relief, especially those who died of covid. They'll probably get to vote too.

These inaccuracies aren't limited to coranavirus, so why take such a hard line on coronavirus specifically. Are you generally opposed to medical scien...

I don't think exercising caution with an untested treatment (as you've described it) is equivalent to idiotic claims that the measles vaccine causes a...

I'll debate you as to whether Yaweh existed as a monotheistic god to the ancient Hebrews prior to Exodus. Thiat is philosophy of religion in my opinio...

I agree with this. Philosophy of religion can be really interesting. Theological systems, literary interpretation, archeology, sociology, mythology al...
