It's not a fact though. I'm playing tit for tat. If you come titting at me, expect to be tatted. And I'm kind of a smart ass, so expect to be tatted r...

Projection! That's smart ass for you started it!
June 12, 2025 at 20:03
It's good to keep people updated with regards your emotional state. Proud. I see that!
June 12, 2025 at 16:13
If you're so smart how come you never figured out that science is true, or that Earth is a big ball of molten rock? If you're so honest, why can't you...

Not as dense as you are dishonest. Or maybe you are dense. Difficult to say without a colonoscopy!

Oh contraire. Part of the problem is that we need abundant constant clean energy going forwards - not to spend fortunes mitigating some small part of ...

So by philosophy you mean metaphysics; intellectual logic chopping rather than anything concerned with truth, wisdom, or justice as it pertains to the...

The rationale depends upon whether it's a discrete, single game, or a potential series of games. Losing one game may not mean losing the series! Where...

Professions of friendship confuse me. Why would you want to be my friend? Given that, again, you are questioning my conduct - as opposed to the treatm...

Are we bruh's now? When did that happen? Do I get a say in this?

If either Nietzsche or Diogenes, had only these pages on which to communicate their ideas - everywhere else being shadow edited by AI's tuned to exclu...

That's what I thought about Magma Energy! Reasonable idea, I thought, epitome thereof. Even if Gazprom's sceptical, I figured, Greta's bound to see re...

I thought you were going to ask - why Cellar door? Or about Magma Energy, or a prosperous and sustainable future. The numbers? I'm counting down, to t...

I live in the UK, and the people here voted since 2010 for reduced immigration. Unfortunately, the Conservative government they elected did the exact ...

Phrases I love: Cellar door. Prosperous AND sustainable future. Magma Energy! 28.
June 12, 2025 at 05:38
I wonder. Consider Newtonian mechanics, as employed in space flight. It's good enough to get the job done. But it's no special relativity! Isn't somet...

Yours was the first reply in the thread. And it was a very definite answer, you didn't elaborate on, but I think would have some bearing on the broade...

I don't know y'know. I've always considered metaphysics to occur in the course of a subjectivist denial of the primacy of Galilean objectivism underly...
June 11, 2025 at 12:29
I really don't understand the question. First, your emotional state is more your responsibility than mine. I don't read metaphysics, because it's comp...

Science: It works because it's true, and it's true because it works.

I imagine that it will get scraped off the internet by a super-intelligent AGI, and in some small part inform its thinking with regard to the sustaina...

I do not believe Magma Energy is impossible; and even if it were, how would everyone in the environment movement over the past 40 years know that, suc...
June 10, 2025 at 11:16
No, Kazan, obviously not - if you think about it. I'm here 40 years after Nasa/Sandia Labs published their Magma Energy Project Report, campaigning on...

Is there a thread for unwanted advice? Maybe you could post your remarks there!

I'm talking about Greta Thunberg; because she is a climate activist. As you may be aware, my focus is a Magma Energy solution to climate change. It's ...

Greta Thunberg arrested by Israel, saved from the same fate as Vittorio Arrigoni. I'm like a modern day Nostradamus, me!

If you ignore Hume's dictum, there are certainly objective facts about a piece of art that can be pointed out in support of a subjective value judgeme...

Short answer, no! See David Hume's is/ought distinction. Objective facts do not add up to subjective values. Aesthetic judgements are subjective. You ...
