Who or what is your god? It is not a question much asked now, as we have become obsessed with mere existence. But it used to be psychologically inform...
They never taught it my school, we had to make do with books. I put that down to prudishness, along with the fact that mammograms hadn't been invented...
You are so insightful! So it seems that freedom has to be learned, or possibly earned, at least some of the time. And in that case, and in this partic...
Someone gave me a violin the other day - said I could do what I liked with it. But he was dead wrong; I can't do anything I like at all with it. and I...
Unless you are prone to kidney stones and the like, eat beetroot. Red, white. or yellow they are very sweet with an earthy flavour and they are terrib...
The wretched bees put yeast inhibiters in their honey, and I found mead hard to ferment, compared with apples, grapes, or malt. Took me more than a mo...
Oh, them smart people trying to make us passive with their theories. I have strong feelings about feelings; respect my feelings! Alas, you do not seem...
I suspect you are the one projecting onto me here. Your go to response to something you disagree with is personal insult. Rather weak. Has it ever occ...
That's what we woke loonies call 'rape culture'. Specifically, rape and fear of rape is part of the mechanism of control of female sexuality by the pa...
That's true. One can be open about it. The aliens could announce their intentions to observe humanity to see whether we were sufficiently civilised to...
Any science whose object of study encompasses that which is liable to form opinions of science, and be influenced thereby, suffers from a feedback, wh...
Lies, damned lies and... https://assets-eu.researchsquare.com/files/rs-6079807/v1_covered_209e5182-d9a5-4305-a4e0-70204151d2b3.pdf And here is a nice ...
You should probably consult Hanover on this, but I believe there are specialists that they could delegate to serve formal prayers, which can be done a...
Hanover, Outlandish, and Weird. Lawyers to Philosophy. Have you suffered a contradiction that was not your fault? Unfairly deprived of meaning, or fou...
Einstein's first theory Special Relativity was an attempt to resolve the contradictions resulting from from The Michelson–Morley experiment. Basically...
I think this might be our projection. We are obsessed with sex; we have made endless taboos and rules of conduct. I would go so far as to say that it ...
I'd call it a matter of coordination. What's unnatural is that there's no communication. n is not the same for everyone. So there's no skipping to n p...
That's not the catch, it's the hook on which the whole thing hangs. If the guru says he sees blue eyes but I see no blue eyes then I must be the blue ...
This is somewhat a repetition of stuff I have mentioned before, but with more detail and certainty. It is alarming. Hansen maintains, and it is explai...
I used to have a couple. We let them roam the forest on weekdays, and called them home for supper. But at weekends they had to stay at home because th...
It depends: sometimes manners are markers of class, and used to identify bounders (social climbers) by exposing their ignorance of the social niceties...
Out what jelly mould or cake tin was this truth turned? It is sometimes difficult for me to say with certainty even on this site and in English whethe...
Sometimes things ain't not what you mightn't have thought them not to be, and sometimes they're just a pile of words, that are unclear and meaningless...
That's what I think, and I have given a fairly strong argument for it, which you have ignored. I have seen no argument from you to show otherwise, and...
You are flailing. If you are magic and a mind reader then bla bla blah, anything you like. But in the scenario there is no magic, no one knows their e...
Perfectly valid. As is this: There are 100 blue. I see 99 blue. Therefore I know I have blue eyes and leave immediately. Unfortunately, no one within ...
Imagine rather, that there are 3 blues, 5 browns, 1 green, and you. You know thus that everyone can see at least 2 blues if they are blue, and at leas...
If there was only 1 person with blue eyes, and nothing was said, that person would be unique in the group and could not know their colour. So they wou...
Yes you do need someone to say it because the first counterfactual needs someone to say it and every iteration thereafter rests on that necessity; you...
You've gone wrong already.You see 99 blues. The blues that you see, all see 98 or 99 blues. The 200 of you are all thinking that. You can know that to...
It doesn't allow any such deduction. Knowing is not the same as saying, and I think we agree that if someone has a unique colour, they cannot deduce i...
You made that point before. but you are wrong. I have already also explained before why you are wrong. It is bizarre but it is true because the puzzle...
No they don't because they could have a unique colour and being, unlike you, perfect logicians they know that, and therefore do not make the fallible ...
