You have some aspects right and others wrong. The definition of probability is the frequency of possible outcomes of repeated random events (random in...

All possible odds, if something is not possible or becomes not possible then it is no longer a question of odds. May seem like an obvious point but pe...

Playing poker for one million years means the probability of a given hand approches its true value for all players involved, this removes the influenc...

In that time frame the impact of a winning streak is not significant.
September 22, 2017 at 14:10
Infinity is a number too large to be measured that means any relative odds are unknown, but they would in theroy approch certainty. Which is problemat...

It is far more likely that you are not aware that you are dreaming and can not recall the dream.
September 21, 2017 at 23:46
When I am aware that I am dreaming, which is rare, I do not enjoy it.

I found "philosophy" to be too shallow. I mean actual philosophy would be vast and deep, but their are so few actual philosophers left, and they are n...

Then you should fit in around here.
September 21, 2017 at 15:27
Like most people, you have a horrible understanding of what probability is. Probability is the frequency of possible outcomes. Whether or not that is ...

I always feel good when I help others, maybe you are broken.

If anything human action is always a combination of things rather than moved by a single influence. I think it is a bit dumb to try and reduce it to o...

Human action is a byproduct of several factors, like for example gravity.

"You] want them to be happy. . ." Sounds self serving to me.
September 20, 2017 at 22:18
So let me get this straight: You found out that you can change your own behavior? Quick someone get this guy a Nobel Prize!

In academic settings if you don't use formal grammar then they don't read your paper, they just throw it in the trash. If you are a student then you'l...

There are people who do not capitalize thier name. If you want to be one just do it: it is not a big deal. If you like get it changed legally to all l...

Relative. I am sure there are a lot of things you miss.
September 19, 2017 at 13:08
You have yet to show a real contradiction; all you did was babble your misunderstanding of the semantics.
September 19, 2017 at 12:56
"So, no meds for the delusions?" I don't have delusions anymore, the episodes are triggered by some variable yet to be officially identified. I inheri...

When I got out I dropped all the anxiety and depression medication I was on, they didn't help they just made me feel slightly stoned, and I didn't lik...

I was institutionalized against my will for having paranoid delusional schizophrenia and was diagnosed with severe depression with suicidal ideation. ...

I got the joke I just didn't think it was funny.

It was not Wells Fargo and I can't say which bank on any type of social media. However, if you are implying that the fact he was blind caused him to g...
September 19, 2017 at 01:23
At my last job working service for small business banking one of my coworkers was blind.
September 19, 2017 at 01:07
You, as I certainly don't see what you are describing. In the respects of what is natural, I see no difference between my computer screen and the tree...
September 19, 2017 at 00:05
There is no logical fallacy that I am aware of; however, observation does not prove causation, especially if you expect there are confounding variable...
September 18, 2017 at 23:48
You can neither prove or disprove unfalsiable claims.
September 18, 2017 at 21:05
You are tripping up on the semantics. Unconditional is the condition needed to call it unconditional, and not a condition of how that love is expresse...

To do stuff and things so I can do my stuff and things.
September 18, 2017 at 17:41
Show me one person who does not have some knowledge of something, is not ignorant of something, or is not confused about something. They are worthless...
September 18, 2017 at 15:41
That is a weak straw-man. I never said they didn't exist, I said several times that they are too broad to be of any use. I said it directly, more than...
September 18, 2017 at 15:34
I don't care about your categories, I thought I made that abundantly clear. I think they are worthless. Also you have yet to demonstrate any cause/eff...
September 18, 2017 at 15:07
Well two of your "epistemic states" are really the same thing, and your categories are so broad they are useless, plus you are just making up crap off...
September 18, 2017 at 14:52
It would also be a challenge to find a person who doesn't fit into all three. I think you need to reconsider your inquiry, it is very ineffective. If ...
September 17, 2017 at 16:30
I am sorry, but when did you establish this, and the validity of your limited and grossly oversimplified categories?
September 17, 2017 at 16:15
Already did.
September 16, 2017 at 04:12
Sorry, but I lost interest.
September 16, 2017 at 01:42
It does not matter that you are using numbers, it is still an arbitrary ranking with labels. You need to ditch this idea that quantitative = numbers, ...

If all the reasons to end life are emotional and subjective, than what gives them prior over the emotional and subjective reasons to continue living?
September 16, 2017 at 00:39
When was the last time you or any one measured an infinite quantity?
September 16, 2017 at 00:03
There is no meaningful measurement there; I can't say the 2nd Batman is 5 meters better than the 3rd Batman, as that would be gibberish. There is no w...
September 15, 2017 at 23:59
I got this crazy idea, instead of debating the difference between the two here in this thread, how about people get a book from a reliable source and ...
September 15, 2017 at 22:28
You are not even looking at the variable of interest any more. You are looking at the proportion and not the observation, you can't pull our a ruler a...
September 15, 2017 at 22:23
Simply because you arbitrarily assigned numbers to groups or the elements in those groups that does not mean the observations themselves are quantitat...
September 15, 2017 at 21:19
That is not how quantitative works and there can be categorical comparisons. Example: "How I thought that movie was great! What did you think?" "I tho...
September 15, 2017 at 15:36
Any number can be defined as a categorical (aka qualitative) term, even infinity.
September 15, 2017 at 15:08
No, it does't, and death is not a "change in life". Life is not changing, life ends. I know that is colloquial semantics, but it implies death is life...
September 13, 2017 at 14:45
You are either dead or you are alive and you can only experience life. To be honest even saying, "you are dead" is an odd phrase that does not reflect...

Because people are stupid and it causes them to believe stupid things.
