I'm unsure that's right, but I understand the point and I think its an interesting, if not even illuminating way of thinking about it. This is clearly...

Clear horseshit. These are views of entire blocks and full stretches of highway - multiple cities, multiple neighbourhoods. This is just having blinke...

This seems completely untrue, to my understanding. The first modern police force was Louis' in the 17th C in France. The earliest American Systems wer...
June 12, 2025 at 20:45
That leapfrogs the issue I've put forward, though. Which is that there aren't many people who are reasonable on that side of this (this, of course, be...

I've been using Gemini - it's much much better. Yeah, but that's not quite the case, is it? It's only people in the US since a certain time. 18 years,...
June 12, 2025 at 20:33
Yes, I've misunderstood the framework. It seems, though, if you haven't lived it 18 years, you can't get this status, no? That's an incredibly high ba...
June 12, 2025 at 20:27
Yes, sorry, that was silly wording. My point was just to show that it is very circumscribed, and there are several limits on it. These people aren't g...

Weinstein will now likely die in prison. Good.
June 12, 2025 at 20:20
That is in pursuit of the normal process of citizenship gaining though, right? It's not going to be indefinite and it doesn't actually grant people an...
June 12, 2025 at 20:16
Ah, i see what you're getting at. I guess I disagree about your concepts of man and woman. I do agree they are something to do with sex, but only as a...
June 12, 2025 at 20:14
1. Yes. It is a fact about the world; true without humans (is my view); 2. Yes. That does not mean they do not exist otherwise. I think we do. I think...
June 12, 2025 at 20:13
No, because you've conditioned out the context in which that is a crime. Disparaging is also a little weak to reach any kind of a legal benchmark. He ...
June 12, 2025 at 20:04
I think it is entirely just and appropriate to remove any undocumented immigrants who aren't facing genuine crisis (i.e are at the start of their ille...
June 12, 2025 at 20:02
Ahh ok, that's fair. A slightly stronger version that I would use is all. Fully makes sense of what you're saying though, thank you. Not quite - I don...
June 11, 2025 at 23:30
Ah, i see. Fair enough - certainly an easier way to do things. Would this be a kind of "explanations stop somewhere" type of thing? No issues with tha...
June 11, 2025 at 22:55
I can't quite tell is this is part of hte false dilemma, for you. The above seems to me to be the case wrt truth. Things are as they are, and our exis...
June 11, 2025 at 21:58
Forgive if this seems a bit of a leap-frog, It seems there's no discussion of what constitutes an understanding here, and just what one could, as a th...
June 11, 2025 at 21:16
Yep, roughly. The idea that there is no mind in which a 'lie' can actually arise would mean that they're just wanting us to see deceit as an illusion ...
June 11, 2025 at 21:06
Was about to come post something similar. There seems to be pretty credible discussions around Russia attacking Nato in the next half-decade. A ramp u...
June 11, 2025 at 20:58
The one spanner I see is people dishonestly enacting what they know to be behaviours which would tell you they apprehend you - but they don't. That's ...
June 11, 2025 at 20:56
Biography would be the only real factor I think could lead to an assumption of this kind. My experience with each friend would inform me of two things...
June 11, 2025 at 20:47
I suggest there's a reason you are unable to make reasonable responses to critiques. Lines like this make it obvious you are operating on bullshit per...
June 11, 2025 at 20:28
I reworked this, twice - to be to do with being asleep, and to do with a driver. I do want to engage over you misrepresenting a rather long, arduous c...
June 11, 2025 at 20:25
LOL. oh yep.
June 11, 2025 at 20:11
Seems to me there is no tension: If the candidates have been assessed on a "set of standards" which literally reflect the will of the people, there ar...
June 11, 2025 at 20:02
I have to say, I can't quite understand what you're actually trying to say. The concept of gender refers to behaviour and presentation. These are, obv...
June 11, 2025 at 19:57
This might be unneeded, but there are plenty of laws against lying. They are just context-specific. https://www.msn.com/en-nz/news/other/three-virgini...
June 11, 2025 at 19:51
The example was (roughly, and I've perhaps streamlined it here) that I am in a cab, having told the driver where I'm going and to wake me up when we a...
June 11, 2025 at 04:49
This seems quite clearly wrong, unless what you mean by gender is "immature and potentially misinformed prior concepts of sex" which is what I think a...
June 11, 2025 at 04:43
I think this is the correct framework. What to do with the words is another issue. Explicit acceptance of X seems to be a fine way to characterize bel...
June 11, 2025 at 03:57
No. That's not a judgment. I have already conditioned these out of my example. So I think you have done the same mis-understanding as Leon has. There ...
June 10, 2025 at 20:01
It's hard to understand this take - you have been consistently told you have not addressed them. You don't really get to claim the opposite to the peo...
June 10, 2025 at 19:58
Fair enough - for full disclosure, I think this is a little underhanded but I appreciate the cordiality nonetheless :) Rare in these discussions.
June 10, 2025 at 19:50
@"Moliere" @"Leontiskos" I decided, at the time I commented, to wait for another opportunity. It's all good :) I fucked up and missed out on submittin...
June 10, 2025 at 19:47
Totally fair. Fwiw, by 'weirdos' I mean people who willingly try to convince others to enjoy their cognitive dissonance and accept clearly contradicto...
June 10, 2025 at 19:46
No, it isn't. So, I wont expand on that.
June 10, 2025 at 19:44
The universe is expanding exponentially. You're welcome.
June 05, 2025 at 02:51
But that simply kicks the can back into a situation we were already in. Without sufficiently defining Sex, there is no disambiguation (but, in reality...
June 05, 2025 at 02:49
Missed the cut off, but i've got 2800/3000 words down. Is there another one for later in the year?
June 04, 2025 at 01:55
That is honestly, in my view, utterly bananas my guy. This makes me think perhaps you have never left your house. Obviously not, but having been aroun...
June 04, 2025 at 01:53
I said likely. I am open to you re-stating your question. This last part flies in the face of the example and what was asked. Well done. My comment is...
June 04, 2025 at 01:46
This absolutely ignores what I've said. You haven't addressed it. I can wait, but its also not entirely needed - your definitions are your definitions...
June 04, 2025 at 01:45
It's not. The females made wild assumptions (based on what we've been told above). The males did not - if anything, there seems a bit of pronoia going...
June 04, 2025 at 01:36
It seems patently obvious that you can, and that this is the standard driven by media/social media. The vast majority of the US is objectively not rac...
May 29, 2025 at 04:13
This is nonsense, as far as I'm concerned. What do you think "verbal violence" consists in? Bang on, imo.
May 29, 2025 at 02:29
Thank you for the honesty. This does explain a fair bit. I was sociopathic for several years due to trauma, so I may have reasonable responses to such...
May 29, 2025 at 02:27
This flows back to whether or not you require every mental action to be a judgement. I do not - so, on my view this is a recognition only. I have simp...
May 29, 2025 at 01:49
Not necessarily the computer, but yes. The external world triggers processes within the body (given adequate proximity). One example, Michael is expla...
May 29, 2025 at 00:43
Hmm. I think some of the responses sort of miss the point I'm getting from this TE. if these things are the case (person on the trolley track, brain i...
May 29, 2025 at 00:26
Immediately? Yep. That's an utterly ridiculous response though. And you know it.
