Exactly. Above all, with a proof... or with God appearing to everyone and being part of physical reality, it's not essentially an issue of faith, of c...
In my view it cannot be proved and such proof goes against the whole idea of believing in God and against all Abrahamic religions. When there's a proo...
Actually Maduro would be totally open for talks. But here I think you have to notice that Venezuela is here on a totally different position than let's...
We love the escapism. It's an old genre of making criminals to be heroes and then trying to portray the story as a critique of the society. It's the o...
As @"Metaphysician Undercover" noted above, the drug war has been more of an excuse to do something with totally different objectives, not the actual ...
Have ever leaders followed any principles in their actual actions? Grand speeches are different as are the high-minded reasons given for real-politik ...
The left-wing populism of Hugo Chavez (which Maduro tries to continue) is quite similar to right-wing populism of Trump. Few do notice the similarity ...
Trump doesn't care if the reasons are pathetic, which they are. As a populist he doesn't care. Everything opposing his actions is just basically "libe...
Yeah, tells something when they covered 23000 pages of files from Epstein: Number of times of mentions in the documents: Melania Trump: 12 times Putin...
Thoughts and ideas come to mind in a myriad of ways. Perhaps the steps you are looking for would be the ways to check up if your conclusion is valid. ...
Reproduction and breeding aren't synonyms. Ending the ability for an animal species or plant species to reproduce does mean extinction, which you seem...
The way how distinct people and their cultures die isn't usually talked about. It's by cultural assimilation, not by some dramatic and brutal action l...
We can indeed model the world as being deterministic, everything having a cause and effect, like the Einstein's block universe. But as you said, this ...
You mentioned researching. Why wouldn't it be work? Best work is something that you like so much you would do it even voluntary. But if you are paid f...
My point is that when we are responsible for the species and the ecology, we have to make decisions that you seem not to think that don't have to be m...
Would it go so in reality ever? And you seem not to like work. What's wrong with working? And what's wrong in contributing to the society? Actually, t...
In today's Russia it's very difficult to get truthful polls were what you say depends on the people you are saying the things to. As the saying went i...
So your answer is to end them. With a "gradual, compassionate transition". You want these breeds to be erased, but are "compassionate" about it. In th...
I assume that a Trump presidency is bad for gun producers. People don't have the urge to buy guns. When it's the next Democrat who is portrayed to see...
Oh, if it would be like in Star-Trek. But I think it won't for several reasons. It starts from things like I do like to engage with actual people when...
The obvious answer is of course not, if there indeed is NO use for anybody. Obviously we can trace where the checks arrive for the artist. Is it simpl...
To keep social cohesion strong in a society, there needs to be a contract that the vast majority of people accept. The idea of free education until un...
You didn't answer my question. OK, just look at these Holsteins and Ayshire cows. They have been bread to produce milk and basically are as dependent ...
As a choice of an individual, veganism works fine. I myself think that a balanced diet is totally fine too. Perhaps 1-3% of people are vegans. So it i...
Veganism is an option as you said, but it's not based on science, but moral choices. But then perhaps I misunderstood your OP in that veganism is basi...
And here an infinite series of infinitesimal rectangles is the perfect example, which just loops back to your first argument and mine: Yes, we know ho...
Lol. Somebody in the US Department of Labor has noticed just what kind of messaging the White House and Trump approves of. At least they won't be fire...
That I don't know everything interesting I would want to know and hence are open to new ideas and fact. Hopefully, at least, that's my "hypocrite" way...
That's a positive spin on it, but the logic in mathematics is a staunch judge that doesn't give leeway for falsehoods. Questions with false premises w...
Questions define our answers and thus when math gives answers that "it cannot answer", I think it really it is our questions in the first place that a...
Infinity isn't defined as an integer. But the geometric aspects of a circle indeed show the existence of infinity. And basically, finitism is in a way...
I would disagree with that. I can imagine a perfect circle, not a regular polygon with trillions of sides (or something like that). And anyway, there ...
Compared to Third World countries, the "prosperity make people take care of the environment" holds. I remember visiting downtown Manila, the bus we in...
I'd like to thank those who now for a decade have given their time to this forum, and hence given me this wonderful forum to discuss interesting topic...
Well, isn't this exactly that I tried to say about this being about information? Isn't the only the she can say simply that she's participating in the...
I think this is more complex than a simple math formula (which any curve refers to). The basic idea that more prosperous people can give more easily e...
Thanks for @"JeffJo" for the resurrection of this thread. I do think this related to the Monty Hall problem where information affects probabilities. I...
Indeed. National socialism didn't win either. It resulted in one of the most epic and catastrophic failures of all time. Hence we don't cherish the id...
If all of your posts are LLM-generated, what's the point? We aren't in a classroom and aren't getting any points or merit for the interaction in TPF. ...
If you disregard real prices, of course you can have perpetual growth. Just how awesome would the GDP of the US seem in 2040, if a Big Mac would then ...
As long as it doesn't descend into a situation where in order "to create buzz", one would have here genuine AI programs here "keeping up" a lively deb...
Sounds reasonable. Just like with handling social media, the site guidelines are totally understandable and reasonable. And likely written by @"Baden"...
Marx was a very successful philosopher. Of course the whole ideological-economic Marxist experiment hasn't worked the many times people have tried it ...
Something like that. And we should already know from history that technological advances always come with over exaggerated promises and hype with spec...
Congratulations to the Trump team. At least this is far better than the simple continuation of the past. How it will continue from here is another que...
