People aren't billiard balls. An influenced or compelled choice is still a choice. Certainly, being able to imagine a future seems like a useless adap...

What for?

It sounds a bit weird. Why disincentivize the troop? Part of the achievement occuring is to encourage others. They may think there's an outside chance...

Poster convinced vaccines don't correlate well with disease outcomes. Freely equivocates as needed. Alright, what would you prefer.

This part is false
December 14, 2021 at 21:06
Generally, comments are directed toward the quoted bit at the top. Can I confuse anything else for you?
December 14, 2021 at 21:05
The obvious remains obvious. Covid was pretty unpleasant even after be vaxxed. Like, keeping your brain on a light simmer for 2 weeks. I never had any...

Oh ok, but in principle the government can do these things and under the proper conditions you think they are reasonable. Just for clarification. Ther...

Did you answer the question or no?
December 14, 2021 at 19:27
Do you mean to say in this particular case or during all or most outbreaks of disease?
December 14, 2021 at 19:19
No one wants chemicals injected into their body. They aren't special in this regard. The subtext this carries is what puts me off. The sentiment of a ...
December 14, 2021 at 17:41
You keep pretending that the holes in the system are the system for the sake of an argument. There is no provision for an exception granted to infecte...

Generally "discriminatory" is considered an unjustified distinction, like race, age, or sex. Refusal to participate in a public health matter is a jus...
December 14, 2021 at 14:14
A private establishment chooses to statistically reduce the risk to it's staff and patrons. Discriminatory? If one's identity is dependant on resistin...
December 13, 2021 at 18:29
Being able to circumvent public safety is not the same as the rules encouraging it. Full stop, there's no counter argument. Does twisting the truth ac...

They admitted to a counter disinformation operation that targeted a few domestic social media users. Considering disinformation was crippling to the i...

It's only recently we have had the luxury of not living during some disease outbreaks. In large part due to the long-term proven efficacy of vaccinati...
December 12, 2021 at 23:49
The context in which this makes sense is the assumption of an unknown tangential argument that regards the "single mind" you periodically reference. I...

Fantastic. What absurd implication is all this intended to support?
December 12, 2021 at 23:06
Because that's not what that phrase refers to; Bretton Woods was a new world order; the fall of the Soviet Union etc; we make children take a couple d...

The health code?
December 12, 2021 at 22:35
They don't test everyone at the door is not a rule permitting the vaccinated infected to mingle. It's bare min. attempt to reduce the odds. Confusing ...
December 12, 2021 at 22:32
Well, my point was that your position doesn't acknowledge the legitimacy of the threat. So, I guess we are agreeing by demonstration. I have no idea w...
December 12, 2021 at 22:21
What rules, where? I tested positive after a couple of vaxes and the CDC is pretty clear about the directive to not go spreading it via 7 day to 2 wee...
December 12, 2021 at 21:23
in the ER; not the pharmacy.
December 12, 2021 at 20:07
I don't think your position fully appreciates the nature of the threat. True, we aren't being wiped out to the point of threatening civilization. Howe...
December 12, 2021 at 20:06
There is no "however" being demonstrated. It's more of a "look over here". The vaccine keeps hospital admissions down. Seems like a worthwhile goal co...

I think we passed by here before already. "Change is a sensation" isn't an informative conclusion. At best an imprecise way of speaking.
December 12, 2021 at 16:37
It's that bit that prevents events from ever totally repeating a non-specific je ne sais quoi.
December 11, 2021 at 20:52
I propose a test. If JTB correctly describes knowledge then every permutation should correctly describe some type of thought one might have? Unjustifi...
December 11, 2021 at 20:42
I agree a change might be known by a sensation. I don't think this is helpful in defining or understanding the notion of change; because it is so gene...
December 11, 2021 at 18:50
Interesting, considering it's a logical operator. Really, it's the only part of JTB that isn't dependant on the frame of reference. I always read it a...
December 11, 2021 at 18:41
Right, I'm suggesting a present tense where we don't assume to know the future. We think we know X but we may be wrong. We may be wrong because we can...
December 11, 2021 at 17:36
Doesn't this all get resolved if it's acknowledged that on occasion knowledge is wrong because humans make mistakes. I think knowledge can be improved...
December 11, 2021 at 00:57
We don't infer the "sensation" of it being yellow though; I don't see something brown and infer the fruit was previously yellow by some retro sensatio...
December 11, 2021 at 00:07
Right, but it was never a sensation in the case of having been inferred. If change occurs apart from being a sensation, then your conclusion is underq...
December 10, 2021 at 23:17
My initial objection and a few others, yes. 1x1 = 1 isn't really an argument in any normal sense. So, 1x Change = Change doesn't bring anything new or...
December 10, 2021 at 22:49
It sounds a bit like obsessing over ideals leads to the thought that there's a place they come from? Maybe there is, but the ideas I know of seem to r...
December 10, 2021 at 01:37
It is exchanged between physical sources and resident in them. Information is created by physical beings. Categorically speaking, do we have a non-phy...
December 10, 2021 at 00:05
Supposing your model of information is true; what does it add to note change is subject to it. I could say for example; then ____is a sensation if, th...
December 08, 2021 at 21:04
Wasn't lost on me. Is it a premise; is it a amuse-bouche? Hard to tell from the menu.
December 08, 2021 at 02:10
I disagree. I think you can sense something new correctly the first time. Even if it's novel. Otherwise, there's no basis for constructing this refere...
December 07, 2021 at 03:29
My point is the conclusion is a non-sequitur in a modified sense. Premise 2 appears to be deliberate nonsense. So, anything could technically follow w...
December 06, 2021 at 21:25
1. We can sense change, so there is a sensation of change. 2. Appears to be several English phrases arranged. 3. Change can be sensed; it doesn't foll...

It is hard to separate how the enlightened might appear versus speculating about the internal state. I'd suppose for contrast an unenlightened person ...
December 06, 2021 at 02:56
Fair enough.
December 06, 2021 at 01:30
Am I really that rough on you guys?
December 06, 2021 at 00:31
Always happy to be an inspiration.
December 06, 2021 at 00:19
I can say that the closest I've gotten to what I imagine Enlightenment to be like; is a moment of clarity and acceptance that happens to correspond wi...
December 06, 2021 at 00:18
What is it to be Enlightened? Less sarcastic form of apathy.
