‘Evidence’ is not ‘conclusive evidence’. Maybe that is why the world is mad with nonsense social media accounts of evidence being equivalent to iron c...

I said the very same thing, with different words, in my second post.

And you believe those two statements are contrary? You just failed your language comprehension test :D

But there is still no conclusive evidence that playing videos games negatively effects a childs score in an IQ test. There is, if anything, better evi...

You continue to talk nonsense so I will have to resort to ignoring for a month. Maybe there is some topic where we can have a sensible discussion then...

You are confused. The value we we may or may not imbue pieces of paper with is not an inherent physical property of said paper. The item we deem ‘mone...

Neither god nor money are physical concepts so asking to ‘prove’ the ‘existence’/‘value’ or either is pointless. Clifford Geertz made a definition of ...

It is probably more or less 50-50 then. I would say that there is a certain threshold where corruption had a tendency to slip in and I would also say ...

Seam Carroll’s Mindscape podcast 189 would probably interest you.

You need to define what you mean by ‘power’ for any reasonable answer from me ;)

No. Nothing in studies done and research gathered backs this up.

To repeat. The more research done over time has pretty much ruled that out. If anything there are positive effects not negative effects (especially in...

`Maybe I am coming across as harsh? I don’t know. Your instincts are correct. All you have to do is look for the studied already made. Like I said, I ...

Didn’t you know that video games have existed for more than 10 years. Have you done even a tiny bit of research … I don’t think so.

There have been multiple studies about the effects of video games since video games began. That is why I stated last time I looked (maybe 2-3 yrs ago)...

Games are useful for development. This is well known. As for effects on IQ there was no conclusive evidence for a positive or a negative effect. Gener...

Things are usually understood by how they are used, how they can be used and how they cannot be used. Definitions are not necessary to understand and ...

Epistemology is a mess of a category and hard to get to grips with. We have theories of knowledge, different types of knowledge and how raw data is re...

Probably best to step away and just hope there is a possibility of a discussion on some other topic. If not then so be it. Like you said, it can help ...

Your OP makes little to no sense. Note: ‘physics’ as a ‘habit’ of the universe? How is that any different to physics as ‘laws’ of the universe? You do...

Yes. Better! :) Just apply that logic to some of your other thoughts and questions and you might be more worthy of my time ;)

More nonsense. If the sun was called ‘rain’ it would not be called ‘sun’ so the ‘sun shining’ is meaningless. It is precisely these kinds of mistakes ...

The statement is just as groundless as antinatalist position. To have the value of ‘better’/‘worse’ existence is necessary. The only possible door in ...

So it is just a stupid and pointless pretend question. Fair enough. Bye

Can people be banned for trolling?

Entropy. This is not a physics forum is it?

I prefer sardines not herring ;) Picking fights? :D Bye bye silly person

So the entire thread is just another way for you to argue for antinatalism … my mistake. I took the OP at face value.

The state necessarily manages the economy. That is the job of the state or there is no state.

Thanks! I assumed it was the name of some philosopher or something :D Guess I may as well have googled it after all.

How would it be hard for Putin to explain away anything? That makes no sense whatsoever. When it comes to direct conflict the UN acts as a mediator as...

Never heard of Laissez-faire. Any chance of a quick summation?

That is not straw manning. That is disagreeing. I was not saying you were saying anything. I was saying something. There is a big difference. The diff...

When you accuse someone of straw manning when they have not even attempted to outline their view and merely asked for it then it is certainly about th...

You think I have been reading every post? No. Stop what? Trying to find somewhere we can have a discussion … no I won’t. We do not have to agree on on...

Who wants radical change? To benefit whom? It serves as a means of bridging gaps and has helped some situations. It is not a government nor an indepen...

It is a decent idea that does some good. At least nations can attempt to talk within the idea of a unified front. It is not a complete failure or it w...

I’m not going into the whole procreate business again. No point. We are not going to see eye-to-eye there not understand each other because the proble...

Comparing Willy Wonker to the universe is kind of missing the mark. The universe does not appear to be moral. People don’t ask to come into existence ...

Precisely. I mentioned it, in passing, in response to what someone else said. I even said I didn’t think there was much to it - other than as a psycho...

Okay. Learn read it is then. Bye

I did not. Learn to read or stop trolling. Not sure which it is you need to attend to.

By who? What are you talking about?

And?

‘of’ instead of ‘as’. Point being is a view about which I was generally talking about. There are various other views I was not saying this is the gene...

Critical Theory is pretty nebulous, non-specific and based on little to no empirical evidence. It is a way of looking at things and asking questions, ...
