C8 was a stinker. I had to look at Wayfarer's video link for that rearrange, and then suddenly it was easy. So we are on the same page, but I'm going ...
It's rather separation that is impossible. My gravitational field extends indefinitely, at the speed of light Excuse me, mind your backs, coming throu...
Tomatoes are too watery. I saw a great article on how to make sun-dried tomatoes in the oven, but I don't have it to hand. Or you could use the sun, I...
The simplicities of abortion. If anyone claimed abortion was a good thing worth getting pregnant for, I would think them insane. However, society is s...
My vague and distant impression is that he didn't drain the swamp, he didn't build the wall or make 'them' pay for it, didn't lock her up, didn't de-r...
What is… Being Yes. Being is what is. Being is, and nothing happens. Awareness ...is the relation of responsibility. X is aware of y, iff x is able to...
I think maybe the main confusion is that for a proof the result is set out at the beginning as the target; you have to take one side and turn it into ...
Ok. the rest is easy, use J1 to stick another nothing expression inside c1, to produce the next line. and then use J2 the right way round this time, t...
I think it's the layout that's confusing you, along with the strange fact that we already did this by substitution of a, which was easy. This time we ...
I know how you feel. It looks pretty daunting. But I'm hoping to at least get a feel for how the formal system can apply to living systems. Maybe... Y...
"a" is a circuit, that operates the cross (switch) it is under. If "a" is live, it switches the circuit it is under off. This is how a cross under a c...
:ok: when we're done with this book, we can maybe look at http://homepages.math.uic.edu/~kauffman/VarelaCSR.pdf And perhaps it might start to convince...
Thanks for that. You have summarised many of the points of interest, that hopefully we will eventually get to. That it seems to make a connection betw...
Make up your mind whether you think it is too boring or too interesting. If you can't keep quiet, get involved! Uninformed and self-contradictory crit...
I think most people in the West do not really appreciate how far both Russia and China have progressed in a very short time. This. And yet also there ...
:100: https://news.mit.edu/2022/solar-desalination-system-inexpensive-0214 If you think it through, Global warming is a crisis of too much free energy...
I agree with you these might have a small place in the green energy network and hopefully the efficiency might be improved a little. If I was king of ...
That truism has no force. People also want quality things. Of course, no one wants low quality expensive anything. Of course people don't want sufferi...
Oh, well in that case, you are wrong. Covid has clearly shown that most people are very willing to make quite radical changes and sacrifices as long a...
I don't expect other people to care. But I care. that's all. I'm just some guy railing about what I care about. Nothing for you to concern yourself ab...
It really isn't at all okey dokey, pardn'r. It’s a scandal, an outrage, and a looming catastrophe. And you are gaily peddling ignorant bollocks. Your ...
It is, as a matter of fact, but the warming comes mostly from the sun; but the insulating effect is comparable, particularly in the way that it takes ...
So if we stop burning fossil fuels now, and stop increasing livestock now, the climate is going to go on getting warmer, at a gradually slowing rate f...
It is closer to being correct than it is to being incorrect. Greenhouse gases act like insulation. So global temperatures start to increase when the i...
Yes. somewhere in the introduction/preface he says that this all developed backwards to the way it was written as a way of trying to understand why wh...
Of course it would, if application is what you are looking for. My sister used to work for the electricity board on their very early computer that ran...
That would be really useful. I had a little go at getting an empty cross and failed miserably, but that sort of confirms the thesis that the world has...
Yes, I deliberately started at chapter 2, because that's the point at which something happens. I could liken it to a new game we have to unpack - fun ...
'Let' is a command from on High. This how it shall be henceforth. 'Let x be the number of angels that can dance on the head of a pin. 'Let' happens ou...
Yeah arbitrary limits to your terms to allow your mantra to be true. One tries to engage, but eventually one reaches the outer limits of denialism. 12...
Gentlemen, ladies! in another place, we are having some dialogue about a book that is concerned with foundations, which I suspect is part of what phil...
The long run includes all the already captured carbon in the Earth, and human exploitation of it too as part of the biogenic cycle. the question is wh...
Ok, I'm just going to say a few things by way of my own 'introduction' and then start. First, we have the text, and we have the videos from Wayfarer a...
Indeed. A desert is carbon neutral - the environment is balanced. But for a farm, that balance has to extend beyond the farm to the community of human...
Every plant (bar a very few and rare parasitic ones) is carbon negative. Every animal and fungus, by contrast, is carbon positive. If a cattle farm is...
The above is a very simple example of how to insert environmental costs into an economy that does not account for them, and thereby incentivise the mi...
Yes, 2 steps, to be precise. A subsidy on the equipment required to collect the gas, and a tax on allowing its release. Bish bash bosh. Farmers cannot...
Here is a slightly more reliable source than the meat industry, with links to scientific papers and consideration of all the various routes of entry a...
It can be net zero in terms of carbon, but if you double the number of animals, you double the methane released. in 12 years time all the first year's...
