I maintain based on the evidence that it’s 3-7 degrees. But fair enough If it was looking at extremes, in concrete jungles. ???
February 18, 2026 at 04:23
no. That is an incredibly uncharitable straw man. I explained myself completely. Have another go.

I appreciate the charity! While I understand how you have read this, that is not a judgement about you. Maturity is not solely a personal attribute. I...

My feet are at the bottom of my legs *shrug*. I think that attitude while explaining a lot, isn't particularly mature. Understandable though
February 18, 2026 at 00:32
But those are all human observations - no part of science isn't anthropocentric in terms of what it tells us. I guess also different traditions or eve...

This doesn't seem to mention or indicate any specific temperature increase? 12-15C is an absolutely catastrophic change that I've never seen claimed.....

I think it might be best that if you see yourself having typed out more than 50 words you just put it in you drafts :lol: You do not seem capable of r...
February 18, 2026 at 00:23
Ok - and in principle, yep. But there's no chain of reasoning for me to respond to in your OP (or, imo a coherent narrative even). So i'll stay with t...
February 18, 2026 at 00:20
Now that's a good question - but this would apply to your own, no?
February 18, 2026 at 00:19
Yes, i understand. I doubt it was particularly moving besides your first point - finally having access to the fact that there are pre-civilised (as it...
February 18, 2026 at 00:14
That wasn't suggested, but what Outlander is saying to you is a factual narrative of how morality comes about (in the absence of the type of claim you...
February 18, 2026 at 00:12
I don't think you provided anything which I would call a chain of reasoning. I can't quite pull apart what I can't see is there.
February 17, 2026 at 19:04
Right-o.
February 17, 2026 at 18:57
This seems a surefire way to invite parasites into your life.
February 17, 2026 at 18:55
No.
February 17, 2026 at 18:54
No need to apologise - it seemed interesting, I just am not grasping it. Could be me!
February 17, 2026 at 18:54
Well, I'm telling you, point blank, it wasn't. You came into it late, and I am telling you that wasn't what was being discussed. There is no end to yo...
February 17, 2026 at 18:52
Can you provide something that might support such an egregious claim?
February 17, 2026 at 18:50
The reasons are that you consistently crowd your mind with the concerns you are posting about, almost non-stop. The reasons are not those you list. Th...
February 17, 2026 at 18:50
I can't understand what you're getting at, sorry. This doesn't seem to be something one can respond to intelligibly. I do not mean at all to be rude, ...
February 17, 2026 at 18:46
This is.... not the case. there's some vague, unfounded assumptions in Braeber among others, that travel reports were somehow assimilated as philosoph...
February 17, 2026 at 18:41
Tell us then.
February 17, 2026 at 18:39
[q Well, no. I'm not having a substantive debate here, and again, it isn't about those claims anyway (and, unless you're about to admit bad faith, its...
February 17, 2026 at 00:32
Stop reading philosophy and go and enjoy a sunset. You are missing the forest for the trees.
February 17, 2026 at 00:29
While I appreciate your elucidation, with respect this is not what I asked for. You made a connection between two conceptions of one assumed fact (whi...
February 17, 2026 at 00:27
I have seen evidence which would support that claim. I'm not standing heavily behind it, but the entire argument is that people should be able to vote...
February 17, 2026 at 00:17
That's fair, but I think its on you to reach across a divide in this case - the definitions proffered above are those used by the vast majority of peo...
February 17, 2026 at 00:14
I'm a fan. Didn't find it a slog at all. That said, I far, far, far prefer Crying of Lot 49.
February 17, 2026 at 00:10
I'm going to look into this at a time where I'm not tied to a discussion about it, but is this statement something you truly believe? That the average...
February 16, 2026 at 19:24
Ok. That's not relevant to this issue, unless it is for you. Let's assume all the current speculation comes to fruition, and there's multiple legitima...
February 16, 2026 at 19:17
Because there is an unexamined assumption that existence is not the basic good. If we interrogate that, we have to confront some other questions. My t...
February 16, 2026 at 19:07
Oh lol, yes. I think you may have responded to the wrong thing. I'm suggesting it does no such thing.
February 16, 2026 at 00:49
very welcome :) Nice to see you back, i suppose. Can you give me a 1:1 between a moral, and a natural fact? Bear in mind heavily that simply stating o...
February 16, 2026 at 00:47
I can't glean anything from this (which, now that I've edited my comment (while you were replying it seems) is ironic). Could you perhaps try to say s...
February 16, 2026 at 00:41
Yeah, got you; thanks for that. I understand the impetus. I think that's utterly absurd and probably a cause for concern if you're ever in position to...

I've never seen anyone do anythign remote closely to what Michael describes. One who's never left their room, but wears VR could be said to appear tha...

Because we're talking about the administrator of the website we're on who, despite any opinions, does more for the site than most us. And, in the face...
February 16, 2026 at 00:23
I could simply repeat my comment. You've not furthered hte position - just stated an opinion again. I gave you a reason why it appears to be bias. The...
February 16, 2026 at 00:22
That's an extremely odd response to what he's saying. Verified citizens should be able to vote. That's just an administrative no brainer. It has nothi...
February 15, 2026 at 19:13
This makes no sense to me either semantically, conceptually or attempting to figure out some bespoke application. You didn't quote the whole thing tho...
February 15, 2026 at 19:06
what......This seems a patent example of the types of biases being spoken about. There's no reason to think this unless you think that, conceptually, ...
February 15, 2026 at 19:01
Without getting into much, that's not surprising.
February 15, 2026 at 18:58
Lol okay ???
February 13, 2026 at 05:38
hmm. I guess we live in quite different worlds; metaphorically. That seems wholly inadequate to me and a clear ad hominem continuing. Thanks for your ...
February 13, 2026 at 05:36

Yep, totally. It took me a bit to really crystalize what I hate about him, given I cannot find evidence of most claims against him. Yet, this is perfe...

Yeah, that's probably true. I think most of hte Good recent stuff is of a totally different bent like Fruits Basket or Demon Slayer or something. I wi...
February 13, 2026 at 00:40
Hmm. I think its a better formulation but almost impossible to practice which is a shame. The best of my understanding could be wholly irrelevant to t...
February 13, 2026 at 00:35
I said nothing of the kind. If you could refrain from personal attacks (ironic) that would be cool.
