Hanover

Why do I have to use teleportation? Why can't I just say I existed as a baby at Time 1, Location 1 and now I'm at Time 1,000 at Location 1,000? This c...

Are you identifying the brain as Michael, or just the contents of that brain? If I download a pdf to your computer, why does the original RAM where th...

If you were in a vegetative state on a table and your brain was removed to the jar, there'd be no distinction between the you on the table and the you...

I don't know. I think you can play with these analogies to come up with anything, which is why essentialism is hard to maintain in any form. If you aw...

This goes back to my pedantry comments. I can't see how it could matter if we designated a name for that special class of modus ponens described in th...

If I woke up with amnesia or hallucinating I was Jesus, with no accurate Hanover memory, I'm still Hanover. Isn't this just a Ship of Theseus question...

An example: I was speaking to a Russian woman who's been in the US for decades. Her recollection of the "Miracle on Ice" when the US won the Olympic g...

Just playing.

Where do you even buy a serving set for 1? The Sad Store?

But we've never trusted Russian elections or Iranian news. We've never agreed upon basic facts with our enemies. My question is whether the change is ...

This article that just hit the presses says hot food, minus the occasional fiery gut clearing, is an excellent part of a healthy diet. https://www.yah...

What I know of Taylor appears in your quote, so feel free to fill in the details of what I don't know. How is Taylor not consistent with Cartesianism?...

I wonder though how much Truth there was in the Truth Era as opposed up our current Post Truth Era. How much of is it that we just don't have a unifie...

I think you read where I said that people vote Republican because they are Republican to suggest it's just a matter of party identity. There may be so...

This poll tells us what the left believes the right believes. If the right told you the only reason you voted for Harris was because you didn't like T...

Farm raised, not wild.

Pan fry it to at least get it blackened, and try a bed of rice with a green vegetable. If you're going to go for the plastic ware and coleslaw, you sh...

Mine was funny. Yours is disturbing. If you awoke with your brain in a different body, and you were a hot girl, I'd be all over that. Now we're even w...

This scenario isn't that far fetched actually as this video analysis shows. It's only a few minutes and worth a watch, particularly at around 1:40. ht...

Old man Peanut, chillin on the beige blanket, in his youthful mind still skipping the light fandango, doing cartwheels across the floor, all the while...

Mork actually got his start on Happy Days as I recall. He would later go on to teach poetry at a boarding school.

Is this not why it's an extrovert's world? How do we approach Betty Sue, that most intimidating creature? Do we walk right up to her and speak our hea...

You make a valid point.

I appreciate the deep analysis, but can you just draw me some Venn diagram circles with 1, 2, 3, and 4s on them and then I can see what can be what? I...

You're claiming the statement "that's a valid conclusion" is a category error because conclusions can't be valid or not valid, but only true or false....

Can we say the conclusion is valid or do we reserve the term "valid" only to argument forms and not to conclusions?

I get that, but a 3 permits explosion, which can force anything anywhere.

Then all 3s imply that 3 is a 4.

Accepting that definition of "incoherent," we can then say we have (1) valid and coherent arguments and (2) valid and incoherent arguments. We can als...

That is true, but shouldn't there be a distinction not just between "valid but not sound" but also between "valid but incoherent"? For example: If P t...

I'm not supporting Trump here, but I'm just going through his policies. What you bring up here is why he wishes to impose tarriffs. He's using his bul...

Sure, but the price one pays for a defense results in the loss of other things, like public healthcare, losses in revenues from business regulation an...

1. The US economy will boom under this plan, as global change regulations are expensive. The US will outproduce the EU and will attract places like Ca...

You can't say it's because she's black because Obama was in office two terms, so if you can't call the average American racist, you've still got misog...

Who'd have thunk Trump's election theft routine was a successful reelection strategy? The man thinks outside the box.

Trump Wins! Since you weren't going to call it, I got to do it.

This is the NYT election predictor based on the current info. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/11/05/us/elections/results-president-forecast-n...

I do too. Of all the vanities, that is the vanity of vanities

Thank you for these kind words. For this. I knight you a Jew. Once circumcised, you may fully enter the brotherhood.

I speak from the Anglo legal perspective, particularly American. Ambiguity in contracts feeds an industry, and even should there be clarity, ambiguity...

Actually I have been a pig in mud for most of my life.

So the hebrew word for vanity is hevel (???). I tell you this because you're probably wondering why all would be a vanity. Vanity is defined as "a bat...

My father used to say A-curns. He had grown up in a more rural area and had shed most of his backwood words, but that was one that stuck. I call them ...

So you know, I mentioned the pig to see how long it'd take for you to respond.

Even a blind pig will root up an acorn every now and then I always say.

I feel there is prediliction here for the curry/cumin family of flavorhoods, likely arising from the British adoption of Indian food as their national...

I'm so off the chain chill, my lesions fall off on their own
