The ‘deadline’ obviously isn’t strict. Post as and when, the ‘time’s up!’ was more for me than anyone else (kind of a boot up my own arse rather than ...
@"Pfhorrest" You might find watching the first few minutes of this useful in terms of how to grab people’s attention and offer relatable material: htt...
I’m pretty sure you’re confusing someone else’s words with mine there. I did comment that people don’t want to be told what you know, that was where t...
ALL US news channels are extremely poor places to go for information. They’re all there as entertainment services essentially - reporting actual news ...
Sorry, not had time to look yet. Looks like you’re getting feedback anyway. Maybe I’ll see if I have anything to offer later next week (probably not i...
Only managed to cut it down to 850 words, but time’s up! The First Chair A small Rickety Wooden chair Sits in The shadowy Corner. It is not For sittin...
What is based on that? Sorry, you lost me. You mean ‘resources’? We have enough. The data, ALL the data, indicates that raising the standard of living...
It’s worth throwing this out there again: https://www.gapminder.org/ A great resource that helps shed some light on what use disembodied statistics ca...
I’ve haven’t seen it either. I have looked at previous sets of statistics about how effective the allocation of funds are and the results looked prett...
Well, yeah! I was trying to emphasis the flaw in being overly concerned with the quality of the audience rather than the quality of the writing in thi...
Every analogy/aphorism has its opposite. ‘Too many cooks spoil the broth’ doesn’t hold up against ‘Many hands make light work’. The ‘ulitmate’ truth i...
@"Baden"@"Hanover" Over time I’ve become convinced you two are either married or a lifelong couple! Such strong love and respect bubbling under the su...
I’ve got that, but it’s attached to the subject obviously - but certainly not greatly important to aspects of writing. I terms of ‘style’ there are, a...
No argument there. No matter what if you start out with a title like “How to Play the Piano” and the introduction talks exclusively about the the aver...
I generally disagree with this. The audience is not an audience. A person reads for themselves so the primary things to consider when writing is who w...
It certainly makes more sense in terms of the above. What I think many here, including myself, took it to mean was something quite different as to how...
Well, when it comes to the social sciences they don’t conduct anything like the same kind of rigor that physics, chemistry or biology does simply beca...
I remember such ideas being parroted in physics classes when writing up experiments - works for that because every, ‘seemingly pointless,’ detail matt...
This is more focused on ‘religion and science,’ but I think there is something like a similar disjoint between ‘philosophy and mysticism’ Brain Greene...
Okay, first two points. Of course. Last point is untrue and I think you’ll be hard pressed to find a reasonable number of people who’d find this ‘real...
Yeah, exercise. Eat fat and workout. Try this ... Piggyback off your emotions to make yourself workout and stop posting for a few weeks. Focus on your...
I will engaging with you though. If you still think what I said was ‘really offensive’ you have a problem. I’ve looked back through what I said and th...
Nicaragua and death children. Research that. There are instances that show how a new language can develop. Something that is interesting is how ‘tense...
Ganz Andere. Other people may or may not be implying some ‘supernatural’ stuff (which frankly, is a contrary term in my mind so I just default to ‘gan...
Correct me if I’m getting this right. You’re saying feel good feels good and feeling bad feels bad ... my question is whether or not you’re actually t...
I don’t know what that means. I was just trying to point out that words are more pliable when the subject matter has little substance. So suggesting ‘...
It’s like love. When people have a strong experience if it it’s incredibly hard to appreciate that others have experienced anything similar and not en...
Stab a baby in the leg with a knife and see if it ‘understands’ pain. According to what you said I guess not because it can’t articulate it with words...
Your philosophy looks very much like a form of primitive hedonism. As for good and bad being nothing more than ‘emotions’ - I think investigating how ...
I have a copy of The Tibetan Book of the Dead. It mostly focusing on how the living deal with death - as in, if someone dies how this is managed. I su...
I’m absolutely certain I’m not your target audience so it’s VERY difficult to offer decent constructive criticism. What immediately sticks out is your...
I’m not really that interested in your ‘thesis’. I was just pointing out that it looked very much like you equated whatever your or someone else’s ide...
I’m don’t draw a specific boundary between what is and isn’t classed as ‘anarchy’ any more than I do between what is and isn’t a democracy. ‘Rights’ a...
That’s not the same thing at all. Before there was a governmental body there wasn’t a governmental body - hierarchy doesn’t necessarily mean ‘governme...
I was just saying that your inquiry seemed barely connected to the OP, or any other posts made, and pointing you to a thread where you may find more t...
People say all sorts of things. In the colloquial sense saying ‘the law’ or ‘scientists’ can be dogmatic holds some weight. Science and law both lay n...
Remove his name then because his paper has nothing to do with some ‘knowledge’ and ‘ignorance’ - just makes it look like pseudoscience. The way you’ve...
It is what it is. Why it is what it is is another matter entirely. Circadian rhythm seems the most likely cause, and I expect it has something to do w...
