Hanover

Today is my company picnic. There will be all sorts of competitions. Mine will be how soon I can sneak out and go home.

When I was a kid we would just go to the top of a hill and yell the word "ECHO" and it would yell back "ECHO, ECHo, ECho, Echo, echo, ech, e, c."

I also took Kennedy to mean that assuming Castro a rigid designator across multiple worlds, how many worlds would result in nuclear war. What was not ...

I liked that song, but I have to think that what might have improved it was words.

I've got to think it pales in comparison to Motorcycle Maintenance just from me not having heard of it.

I knew John Kennedy and you're no John Kennedy.

I don't fully accept that theism/atheism = believer/skeptic. That's the whole faith debate all over again. The scientific worldview does not permit sk...

Yeah, but it doesn't exactly mean he's right either.

It's happening guys. A line of caskets, numbering in the hundreds of thousands, each ceremoniously laid upon a black buggy pulled by a black horse (bu...

I think there's much to discuss about "form of life." Maybe the topic for another thread one day, but it seems central yet not well explained (at leas...

Ever since they got rid of the never ending extra inning baseball game, it ceased having any beauty to me. I'm an anti-modernist. I don't even use ele...

When is the first round of the 500 million going to die at the hands of AI? I'd like to start seeing body bags so I know things are coming along.

I always imagined you part of the aristrocracy. Are you just being humble?

Don't worry. I asked ChatGPT how it was going to kill that many people and it said it wasn't and that people are only trying to trick you into thinkin...

This is overly deferrential to analytic methods, exposing a bias towards its supriority. I'm not sure you've said otherwise specifically, but I would ...

How is AI going to kill people and why wouldn't counter-AI attack evil AI leading to more and more advanced levels of attack and counter-attack, resul...

Tell that they should have created a better barrier between chicken and dog.

He struck me as consciousness avoidant.

Interesting. I find very much the opposite.

My distinction isn't Scottish, it's lionesque, as in we're disagreeing upon methodology employed in truth seeking, not just inconvenient results I rej...

I do think that James creates criteria to limit the amount the will allows one to create one's own reality, but I do think there is merit to the posit...

Yes, I see I've sparked some interest by pointing out the Americanist of philosophies, that unprincipled notion of pragmatism. The hell with rigorous ...

But this is just your recitation of your ideosyncratic worldview. Consider: "Our passional nature not only lawfully may, but must decide an option bet...

He doesn't come close to breaking that record.

I think the key recognition that should be made is that philosophy is the love of wisdom, not the love of knowledge or the love of truth. One might be...

Trump's hair. Discuss.

The opposite of that is seen in soccer, where someone flops to the ground after not having been run over accidentally or purposefully.

Karl Stone was banned for repetitive postings of content that lacked meaningful substance after warning.

"Hidden" doesn't imply forever obscured. You can locate hidden meanings if you look.

It's a mistake that would have been clever had it been intentional, suggesting an even more clever universe, imposing wittiness even within our mistak...

The capitalization of Witty was a clever mistake, similar to the deuce/douche one, bringing the conversation full circle back to Wittgenstein. There i...

I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.

Deuteronomy 20:19: When you lay siege to a city for a long time, fighting against it to capture it, do not destroy its trees by putting an ax to them,...

From a Wittgensteinian perspective, it would just mean our usage shifted and declassified those not of that designated height are no longer "human".

I would agree that advocates of a worldview that hold skepticism in high regard would be better received if they portrayed their position as aspiratio...

Yes, Chelm stories. Typical formula: misunderstood problem, backwards logic, simpleton characters. In short, Hanoverian tales. https://en.m.wikipedia....

There was once a guy who needed to bring a bottle of precious oil to a far-off village. He carefully filled the bottle and set off on his journey. Bef...

Knowing you these many years, I have learned your worldview to be deeply religious, leaning heavily upon mysticism, enjoying Continental philosophy, a...

I'll tell her, but she's busy right now and I dont want to disturb her./uploads/resized/files/ul/9imlbnmkr6dfh2bj.jpg

I read the book. You either believe the physically impossible accounts of largely rural children in underdeveloped nations where reincarnation is a ma...

We rely on testimonial evidence when it's all we have, but its credibility diminishes when no expected corresponding physical evidence emerges. Bigfoo...

Her diagnosis is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and has been prescribed a beta blocker. So we'll see.

The Georgia coast is beautiful. Lots of Colonial history and Gilded Age history.

Peach juice? I've never had that. Georgia is actually not the biggest peach producing state. We lead in peanuts, poultry, and pecans, all Ps for some ...

Don't you dare speak of Georgia and sully its good name sir! You are to speak only of the sewage infested confines of the northeast.

Assuming as the antecedent, "if Trump violated the law," the consequent is "Hanover disagree with Trump's actions."

If there weren't one, then I'm opposed to it. Like I said, you're asking me for an opinion on the validity of the court analysis, and I just haven't l...

Really. That's what it means to be a nation of laws.

These are complicated legal questions, and so I'd really have to read the court opinions on it. I generally know how the courts ruled, but whether I a...

No. That's a legal document.
