Yes, quite obviously so. I know you know that

Well I think he certainly did a lot more than "challenge" it - he looked for every opportunity to reverse the results outside of the normal process. I...

What do you think "contesting" means?

It seems like you have a philosophical problem with measuring things and coming to any conclusion at all based on those measurements. That's not a pro...

Says who? I didn't say that. This isn't careless from me, this is careless from you. So far in my analysis, I've just looked at a couple slices in tim...

I don't assume it is.

It's not a "representation of what's going on". It's a measurement of its position at two points in time, and a calculation of it's average velocity b...

Fascinating. Though I don't feel hesitant to take what he says with the biggest grain of salt.

And if it's true that he just invented that idea out of thin air, I hope he goes to prison for it. That's dictator behaviour.

I've only recently realised that you misunderstood the context of all of this. This wasn't trump firing lawyers from his criminal trials. This was tru...

that's not the lawyers I was talking about, who he fired lmao. You got the wrong end of the stick somewhere. He was talking about lawyers he had on hi...

I really respect you for saying this, wonderful. That's right, they don't imply that, that's part of why they work. They don't imply much at all. They...

You haven't pointed out any logical flaws. You've made careless logical leaps that I've pointed out, and you haven't accepted the logical flaws in wha...

criminal lawyers, or *criminal* lawyers.

I think Michael's got it right. Sometimes doing their job involves less boot licking and more objective reality

But that's what's so damning about his quote - it shows that the whole "stolen election" argument was his *plan*, rather than something he believed be...

No, it really doesn't. If you know the location of something at 1s, and the location of the same thing at 2s, you made the logical leap of assuming th...

Hmm, disappointing reaction to my curiosity. You say it's known of by science, it's a pretty natural evolution of the conversation for me to ask "in w...

Sounds fascinating. Please go into detail as to what exactly you mean by "known of by science". Are there physics equations which make predictions abo...

Would you care to get more specific? Which energies do you believe are known by science but materialists all reject?

You sure are, and you seem proud of it. That's your right, of course. Science doesn't speak to you, and you don't speak to it. I would say it's unfort...

You wouldn't. By the time you can take a picture of something, the quantum superposition has already decohered. It's good to see you've accepted the a...

If you choose to reject all evidence you could see, then you will of course always have that deficiency. You seem very committed to that deficiency. O...

I define energy how physicists define energy. I probably define materialism as mostly whatever this document says: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/...

Do not assume that just because you managed to misinterpret the meaning of it, that it was MEANT to be misinterpreted. You said yourself that you're n...

I see. I suspected it was some situation like that, interesting that he just lays it out so explicitly.

you're still over thinking everything. Or you're just immune to science. That's an assumption YOU made, not me. I said APPROXIMATE speed. I didn't say...

It appears to me that wonderer has made a very good case that the yin Yang symbol appeared in the output of the experiment because the yin Yang symbol...

Considering how drastically you've misunderstood materialism up to this point in the conversation, I think it would be more appropriate for you to sho...

I know that was one thing one person brought up in the conversation once. I didn't realize that was the central focus. Is it? Not particularly.

This seems like you're still overthinking it. You're focusing so much on abstract mathematics and not enough on concrete measurements. Galileo didn't ...

metaphysician, please recall that this all started with us imaging a scenario where these measurements were done to your satisfaction. Now, whether yo...

why is that the scenario you invented, rather than a scenario where I show you the numbers and how I got them?

What's all this talk about faith? You think people came up with the 9.8 number on faith?

Why would a materialist have a hard time accepting an unknown energy? I'm quite certain that every materialist I know is completely comfortable with t...

I think it's incredibly feasible to agree to the truth of something without fully understanding it. Someone may not understand motion, because intuiti...

All of that is very intriguing but also entirely beside the point.

as a full blown nasty no good useless lying liberal, let me just say: If Hunter committed a crime in this (which he almost certainly did), charge him!...

there are programming languages where ** means exponentiation. It's not as common as ^ but it's not unheard of either. My mobile keyboard has exponent...

Quantum physics seems ripe for certain kinds of thinkers to abuse. It takes a lot of effort to undo that abuse .

You're overthinking it a little bit. Regardless of philosophical issues, we can in fact experimentally verify, to some reasonable degree of precision,...

I would have suggested ap as well but I do think ap has a notable left slant. It's not extreme, and it's harder to notice for us on the left, but it i...

Good question. In general, I don't know that it's even possible to find a neutral source of information. I don't know that it ever was. I think some s...

I think I've made it clear that I think it's very very unlikely, astronomically unlikely, to be extra terrestrial.

oh, you're just saying there are conditions that make the formation of DNA, or the building blocks of dna, more likely. Sure, that's undoubtedly the c...

I think what's interesting is, even if there weren't a lot of genetic ways to get that, the specific order of the genes isn't necessarily set in stone...

I'm sorry, I don't think I understand your question.

there's a lot of different genetic ways to get to similar physiological solutions. There's really no good reason for the DNA of two completely indepen...

do you think the genes for these fins are similar? Do you think the genes for wings in bats is similar to those for birds, is similar to those for fly...
