Jeremiah

Why would anyone be desperate not to believe in God? A another fine example of the engagement in a false equivalence. Believing something without evid...

Proving God's existence is incredibly easy. The vast majority of people are desperate for God (or the like) to be real and are ready to gobble any pro...

No division I say, no division at all, everything gets its fair turn. I don't care how many babies God kills, he still has to stand on the altar of re...

The difference here is that some of us are unconvinced that God (or the like) is a special case that needs special rules.

Characterizing a whole group on the perceived actions of one individual you assume to be a member of the larger group, is the very heart of prejudice ...

Nope, I was talking about your god(s). That is whatever silly nonsense you are hiding and too scared to say aloud.

Actually I am referring to your god(s).

Can't prove Santa Claus is not real? Stop being so irrational.

If you can't prove to me that I don't have an invisible purple magical donkey, then you are being a very irrational person.

Demanding evidence of the absence of a magical being is not a rational position.

Do you know what the Law of Parsimony is? How about you do an empirical study and then apply the Law of Parsimony to your conclusions. You obviously a...

If you are demanding evidence of an unfalsifiable claim you kind of just showed everyone it is you that needs to pick up a science text book.

Sicence also cannot disprove there are elfs living on the Sun. Guess that means it's real.

Clearly a function of the brain. Does the light come from the candle or is the candle channeling it from the 7th layer of Heaven?

Clearly you have never been delusional, you know where you have delusions that seem objectively real but they are not. Remember when you were talking ...

Assuming that your brain is feeding you the truth. How do you know that it is?

If your defense of God is nothing but pure subjective belife that means you have no evidence of God.

There is no God people, rip the bandaid off and just accept the truth. The world will be better off when we can finally leave all this silly nonsense ...

I was mocking your "millions" comment. I don't actually care about your personal belifes.

How do you differentiate anything at all from delusion?

Billions of people think you are not God, so I guess that means you are not God. Since billions is greater than millions.

Who understands God better? Those who study the natural world, which is said to be shaped by God himself or people who study scriptures which were cle...

Theoretical or not you still shouldn't approach it without consideration of objective processes.

If people just treated x as undefined and ignored Y these conflicts would not exist and the model would be objectively congruent. People keep working ...

It is the coin flip. There is a probability associated with the objective process and a probability associated with your chance of correctly guessing ...

It is not the job of the objective to conform to your subjective expectations.

My equality is an objective truth and my math considering that equality is correct. So perhaps the problem is elsewhere.

Don't confuse subjective expectations with objective reality.

The OP says x and 2x. If the players wants to think that means 5 or 20, then that is not the fault of the game master.

So no one can meet my challenge?

You are of course entitled to your opinions. Now, Let a represent the value you see when you open your envelope and let b represent the value in the o...

Trying to completely stats-block the conversation is just petty. The truth is that you can't follow me, and instead of trying you want to wave it away...

Also just a note but probability theory IS a stats course. If you are making probabilistic claims about an unknown population from a sample you are en...

Let a represent the value you see when you open your envelope and let b represent the value in the other envelope. They where both decided at the same...

There can be a theoretical statistical assessment even without data. There can also be a well defined Bayesian prior. In fact I could exactly define a...

Let a represent the value you see when you open your envelope and let b represent the value in the other envelope. They where both decided at the same...

Anyone remember the discussion of the coin flip? You flip a coin, before it lands it has a 50/50 chance for H or T. After it lands what is its chance ...

The contents of A has the same exact chance of occurring as the contents of B, this relationship should hold for every single consideration of possibl...

If you are mixing case one and case two you already confounded your unknown limits. Whatever you consider for the possible contents of the unopened en...

Cash limit is 15 bucks only one dollar bills. I could have consulted the Ouija board, examined the start charts, went on a deep spiritual journey and ...

Cash limit is 15 bucks only one dollar bills. Heck, I could have reached into my wallet and just pulled out 10 ones realized that I don't have enough ...

I think people are confusing the actual cash with the selection method.

Anyone want to see me make a random selection from a continuous normal distribution under the same conditions? Cash limit is 15 bucks only one dollar ...

The problem with making assumptions about what you think is and what is not, is that you can't think of everything and there could be something you ov...

Let's do this, an example with limits and a defined scale Say I have a 15 bucks, that is my cash limit and it is all in one dollar bills. There now we...

It absolutely necessarily has to be equally likely as the same chance mechanism is used to decide the contents of both envelopes. The contents of both...

Consider this, You open envelope A and you see it has 10 bucks (x_i). Now you consider the other envelope, envelope B. You decide B could have 5 bucks...

I have already made enough comments on this aspect. No point going over it again. It is precisely as likely. They are equal in probability.

My point is that your personal cretria is something that we cannot objectivly measure.

Actually it is. Whatever is in the other envelope had the same chance to occur as what is in your envelope. If you have 10 and that had 75% chance to ...
