100% Agree with this, for what it's worth, which was worth not ignoring for me.

I think it's also the more terrifying possibility, so my alert level is still quite high, in terms of geopolitical implications of this year/18 months...

Ah. Fu... LOL In physics, isn't time just clock-time? Kind of a practical use, rather than a discussion of what it is?

It wasn't one, so i'm just going to ignore you in this thread now. You've quadrupled your post. But the three extensions are of the first. No. It isn'...

I don't think it's likely under Trump either, though. We had four years of Trump and didn't come even tangentially close to fascism. Jan 6 was a compl...

It would be helpful if you didn't charge me with ad hominem, and then speak about me in the third party to another posted impugning my motives. Seems ...

I'm not sure what you're asking for. I can't see a single aspect of the USA that could lead to fascism. Im not really making an argument - I remained ...

Feel free to thnk what you think my friend :)

Willingness to use them against the government may be, though. I'm not saying this wont lead to disaster - I just cannot see how its possible fascism ...

This certainly appears to me like you're not thinking very hard.

I cannot see how this is sensible. Good and Bad can only be deduced from empirical data. But the concepts themselves have ipso facto moral valence. Th...

Is there's a boil-down source to understand the concept? Im not seeing any necessity beyond trying to support the idea that time doesn't require chang...

If it wasn't clear (because I'm shit at philosophical exposition) this was what I was trying to point out. It is inductively true that there must be a...

:ok:

I wasn't sure anyone would care about the reasoning, about US politics, from an irish expat in NZ :P The USA has an armed populace.

I think anyone seriously entertaining Fascism as an incoming concern in the USA isn't up to having a conversation about it.

I watched a Sideprojects this morning where Simon Whistler went over the misunderstandings around Schroedinger's Cat. The indeterminacy is affected as...

Nice. Despite probably unfortunately saying something else, this strikes me as the same my understanding but in clearer words. I suppose the thing rem...

:ok:

I don't think so. I'm attending the actually, etymologically sound usage of the words. Why would you accept randomly-ascribed meanings that don't fit ...

Well, i guess this is what im trying to sort out for myself. 'time', best i can tell, is a mere relation in perception. So, without perceiving beings,...

LMAO

If time consists in either the changes described, or the relation between them, I don't see how that couldn't be happening prior to humans conceiving ...

Thank you mate. I'm having a bit of a build up here at work, so will need to get to this when i get a quiet spell :) Shouldn't be a long reply though,...

Oh, no, I understood what you were getting at. I think it's an... objectionable... conclusion. But there we go. Thank you very much for the tip on Cum...

It is a Kantian conception of time, and i do not believe it results in any of these logical issues. Do absolutely feel free to set me right, if that K...

I think it does - and i think that is the difference, to my mind. The trivial sentimentality is transmuted into a significant emotionally solidarity d...

Fair enough. I still see that as utterly ridiculous - impugning someone's motives based on their accent or locale. Wild. I have a british accent, ftr ...

Jekyll and St Simon's were the better examples i could think of. Big, oak-lined properties with Master homes, somewhat preserved. Apparently, around f...

Yes, i think that's probably true for most :)

I find this utterly preposterous, and a symptom of looking for enemies, unfortunately. Thems might be the rules, but they're ridiculous, if so.

Thats definitely true - they're allowed to do it in the open!

As a lionizer of Dylan, I do think that was his take outside of true civil reform (MLK for instance).

I'm not sure i understand this (or, possibly, just understand it to be the case). The impressions must be caused - and things-in-themselves are said t...

I agree with this, and refer to Bill Burr's old bit about the N word, and using it out of earshot of those whom you assume would take umbrage. He's no...

Yep, I understand that. But lawyers gonna lawyer, and they are extremely tricky. You're right that the system shouldn't be open to this type of crap, ...

Having not yet replied to Mww, maybe he's said something relevant, so apologies if i've not seen that yet.. I do not see the issue. We can understand ...

I deny this entirely. Without something to ground your conception of hte good outside of empirical sense perception, I cannot see how anything but bia...

This is what i was looking for. Not as a gotcha, but I now understand I'm looking for answer that isn't there. Currently, I take the 'it only exists i...

Fair enough, and thanks for the response. But i just don't see the delineation as starkly, lets say, apparent. For instance, my wife has recently foun...

Hmm. I do see the point you're getting at, but I just think your conclusion is a leap too far. It's not really the case - though it is practically nec...

When i said 'you', read it as the abstract use of 'one'. It was not aimed at you personally - And i do not carry assumptions of this kind (or, more ac...

Agreed, more or less.

This may be the greatest feat Logic has ever achieved :) Then again, if you had no other frame of reference, its a bit incoherent to think it would be...

:) :) "God works in mysterious ways" and all that... No misleading to be had here, though. Otherwise, we're assuming that 1+1 IS 2, and God is contrav...

In a criminal case, both sides will actively attempt to choose jurors they deem favourable, or exclude jurors the deem unfavourable during voir dire. ...

Thank you - clear enough for my crude understanding :)

I've read more, thought more, and tried to beat myself up a bit about this. I am unsure this is true, or makes sense given immediately prior you quote...

This would be the only realistic result, but then it would follow that this means he was never able to come back to kill Young Bob. So we're still stu...

What's the catch there? I don't really understand the correlation, so I can't pick out the problem.
