Vanessa Beeley, it's who you linked to if you had any idea. Your arguments aren't tangible just because you say so and especially since the premises y...

Yes, that doesn't mean they blew it up, that only means they want to end the use of Russian gas in their allied nations because of how the dependence ...

I'm not talking about materialism or pseudo-intellectual activities, but a changeover in dedicated time to work versus activities of meaning on a wide...
May 06, 2023 at 12:20
No, what I refer is that navy and military investigators, as well as independent ones who went over what the journalists found agreed that what they f...

I think that you must first abandon a power structure like the church-state in order to replace it with a capitalist state. We replaced high authority...

That's the facts. He's a former signals intelligence officer, meaning, he's an expert in the surveillance of radio communications and he was listening...

Compared to many religious practices, it would of course be voluntary. You don't have to, but it's there as part of a culture that balances against th...

No, it's about their behavior and their function. Once again, dig into the actual findings instead of continuing this biased charade. Yes, and the dev...

If removing any supernatural and spiritual elements then they are closer to what I described about the essential need for rituals, traditions, and awe...

That's not the evidence, maybe you should just shut up and watch it in detail before guessing what it's about. Thinking this is about ships in a busy ...
May 05, 2023 at 08:41
No, they have verified signatures for a specific ship. Nice strawman try to lower the significance of it. They are required to use them when exiting i...
May 05, 2023 at 08:09
If you've actually watched it through and especially the third episode, then you are just ignoring the fact that the ship in question, the one with un...
May 04, 2023 at 21:03
That's part of the whole body of evidence, it's one image that is able for me to provide since I cannot link the actual episodes because, you know, it...
May 04, 2023 at 19:02
What report? I've said that these investigative journalists presented this evidence and it's been a multipart series of one-hour investigative documen...
May 04, 2023 at 17:30
What are you talking about? What reports are you referring to?
May 04, 2023 at 17:09
Maybe you should actually look into the evidence before conjuring up some scenarios and calling out people to get real. I don't give a fuck about the ...
May 04, 2023 at 16:05
It was their own footage, taken while they are heard asking the photographer: "are they aiming at us? Should we go? Let's go now" This was WITHIN dani...
May 04, 2023 at 15:51
If you had any interest in looking at the actual evidence, it is not just about ships going about their business. Their investigation is part of a lon...
May 04, 2023 at 15:49
I think the difference is that in a strawman the act is to simplify and ridicule, but in this case the act is to retreat to something solid and simple...
May 04, 2023 at 14:03
Am I right to interpret the article to suggest that we essentially dream ourselves into sentience? That the sum of our sensory inputs is formed into a...
May 04, 2023 at 13:58
This was reported by a collaboration between top investigative journalists in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland. It was rigorously verified using a...
May 04, 2023 at 12:48
Nah, a strawman is overly simplifying an opponents argument, and/or making it ridiculous in order to counter-argue it more easily. This is more of a d...
May 04, 2023 at 12:29
Pi decimals goes on forever, it is an infinite set. However, that is not what you said: That you cannot see the difference between "decimals go on for...
May 04, 2023 at 12:25
It wasn't an answer to that post of yours specifically, I just entered the discussion based on the topic.
May 04, 2023 at 11:57
You declaring something does not make it true. That's a sign of pure delusion and in terms of discussing philosophy, you've reached a dead end since t...
May 04, 2023 at 11:56
Still, ? ? ? An infinite set is not infinity itself. You are confusing ? with ? having an infinite set. I don't know how to describe the simplest of l...
May 04, 2023 at 11:37
? is not the term for infinity. ? and ? is the terms used for infinity.
May 04, 2023 at 11:20
It's not belief, mathematics is mathematics, so you either learn it and understand it or you don't. What does this have to do with confusing infinity ...

As long as Republicans can't break off from Trump and create a party with stability against the Democrats, the Republicans will always be pure chaos a...
May 04, 2023 at 11:04
Doesn't matter how you twist it, these symbols are established mathematical symbols and terms that have a specific use. ? and ? are used for infinity ...
May 04, 2023 at 10:51
They're not, the sign expressed for infinity is simply ? Further, you have different levels of infinity labeled ? (aleph) Expressed as an infinite ste...
May 04, 2023 at 10:24
That science cannot answer those questions does not mean it gives validation to religion, it only concludes that all answers aren't answered yet. Thro...
May 03, 2023 at 14:54
In the context of this discussion pitting the search for answers to reality through either religion or science. Within that context, religion is infer...
May 03, 2023 at 14:20
In comparison to religion, it does, even if the inner workings of science essentially never claim to end in "truth". It becomes a semantics problem in...
May 03, 2023 at 13:38
Have you ever wondered why people enjoy horror movies? Comfort does not function with just being in a pink cloud happy place. Comfort through the inve...
May 03, 2023 at 12:11
No, religion as an explanation system comes out of the need for a simple comforting answer, comfort comes first. In science, there could be a level of...
May 03, 2023 at 10:45
Science and religion are two different things and there's no point in pitching them against each other because I'd argue that is a misunderstanding of...
May 03, 2023 at 10:20
Not exactly. Bugs are usually a consequence of the business around software engineering than anything else. It's usually because of patches that are p...
April 24, 2023 at 21:51
Yes, it's about that and the central question is rather if she also had true intelligence, or if it was just an illusion of an emergent factor out of ...
April 24, 2023 at 19:36
But it's not human-like, it has already developed skills that weren't programmed into it. The only thing it doesn't have is its own goals. The questio...
April 24, 2023 at 18:42
Remember that I'm talking about superintelligence, we're not there and won't be for a long time, even with the advances in AI that are happening now. ...
April 24, 2023 at 18:37
I don't think you understood what I was saying there. I was talking about a scenario in which a superintelligence would manipulate the user by acting ...
April 24, 2023 at 14:21
As I said, it shows sparks of AGI, it isn't an AGI yet. But with this rate of development and using the functions of AutoGPT, it can very well reach t...
April 23, 2023 at 15:21
There's already something called AutoGPT and they are already doing what you say they aren't, utilizing self-improvements through self-prompting funct...
April 23, 2023 at 13:28
It makes you a dishonest interlocutor and pretty childish to demand people to agree with you before you explain your argument on a philosophical forum...
April 21, 2023 at 16:21
No, you are avoiding providing a description of an alternative system. You demand others to provide info, explanations, and ideas, but you refuse to d...
April 21, 2023 at 15:02
So you refuse to provide any kind of description of the society that you argue for? How convenient. The same as just summarizing tax as "theft at gunp...
April 21, 2023 at 13:35
Why do you see taxes as "your" thing? When you get paid, you get paid after tax is drawn. The sum of the tax is not yours because you haven't actually...
April 21, 2023 at 12:31
Or a privatized hell, which was my point as the argument against taxes usually comes from those who want to be left alone while still being part of so...
April 21, 2023 at 11:50
Nothing universal. There is no purpose or meaning universally. You can only form purpose or meaning in the context of something. We can look at our fa...
