No idea. It makes sense to expect the worst and seek employment elsewhere. There are online opportunities to look into too so that can help tie you ov...

That block of text reads more like a diary entry (not what I come here for). You seem distracted by other discussions so I’ll leave you to it. Maybe a...

Can you give page references please? Rousseau was suspicious and ignorant, of the underlying ‘nature’ of humans. He rightly questioned the delineation...

There doesn’t appear to be a significant rise in deaths from respiratory failure since January in the UK. Yet deaths have risen significantly - around...

That’s an extremely good point for someone like me! I love prose, etymology, and words in general. If I’m talking to friends I don’t have to worry abo...

I answered ‘no’ to the last two. Question 1: Asking is great. Demanding is naive/lazy. So I went with ‘yes’ because inquiry should always be encourage...

I’m waiting for number of registered deaths in next UK report (in a few days). If there are still 50% more deaths a week than usual then I’m inclined ...

I didn’t say Athena ... that is your name. Either way many inventions are accredited to Athena. You asked for examples of technological inventions (kn...

Artemis and Demeter spring to mind. Or you could just look at the hindu pantheon of gods/goddesses - they often switch forms from male to female so th...

You appear to want me to be saying something you’re not saying to disagree with me and start a pointless argument. Find someone else to spit your dumm...

I understood what you meant the first time. It’s like me saying “I told you it’d rain today!” and trying to say because I was right about this I am th...

Of course? That was the point.

Everything I can see is pointing to a Trump win. The democrats keep backing the person and remained focused on playing a game Trump is much better at ...

What you’ll find is at the end of the year more people will have died from the common flu (hopefully). This will lead some people to imagine there was...
April 19, 2020 at 05:50
Regardless, an above average number of deaths registered in the last official figures in the UK (50% above average) requires some kind of explanation....
April 19, 2020 at 05:41
Because, depending on where you are, the deaths haven’t happened yet and/or haven’t been officially registered. I did post the official figures from t...
April 19, 2020 at 05:21
Given that the figures that they are working with are the official figures (officially registered deaths), and that the data is old, it still doesn’t ...

Note the difference between flu and flu & pneumonia. Something I found out several weeks ago was that in the West deaths from flu and death from flu &...

You’re just talking about what language does. We know what it does. Rather than having ‘knowledge’ embedded in our genes it allowed us to pass on info...

That sentence makes no sense. @"IvoryBlackBishop"
April 19, 2020 at 04:36
Agreed. The capacity of WHO is very limited. Individual governments shouldn’t rely only on one source when it comes to such a crisis - and many didn’t...
April 18, 2020 at 04:11
Clearly you don’t know what I’m talking about given that the figures I’m referring to were only released a couple of days ago. Prior to that the numbe...

There were huge civilizations across the americas. Disease wiped them off the face of the planet. I thought you were talking about the transition to s...
April 17, 2020 at 19:21
I don’t see any evidence - at least you haven’t presented any. If we’re talking purely about mythos there are enough instances of goddesses giving kno...
April 17, 2020 at 19:05
If I were you I’d be saying ‘Oh no!’

I have no idea how you came to that conclusion from mythological references. The big step was sedentary life.
April 17, 2020 at 18:13
Not really. I don’t know of any matriarchal societies full stop - at least not on a scale that would compare to a ‘civilization’. Testosterone is appa...

I think that’s sound enough. I wonder what @"IvoryBlackBishop" makes of this? Destruction of agency is a nice way to put it. I’m certainly more inclin...

It would probably be helpful to distinguish between ‘bad’ and ‘evil’.
April 17, 2020 at 01:51
Replace the ‘why’ with ‘how’. To focus in on a particular area I suggest this for reading: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/linguistics/ You’re aski...
April 16, 2020 at 18:21
You’ll have to explain further where you’ve pulled that from?
April 16, 2020 at 17:55
I guess I don’t understand your point. Either way the next set of figures will give a clearer picture.
April 16, 2020 at 17:52
(1) No idea what that means or how it counters anything I said? The figures give are for week ending April 3. Clearly there is a spike in deaths. (2) ...

Nice trolling! Have fun :)

I missed out the ‘NOT’. Have edited that post. I believe the subject matter of the thread is in the OP. I’m suggesting government policies don’t matte...

There are other places where you can partake in serious discourse. This site certainly shouldn’t be your first choice.
