It seems to me that experiences are always subjectively distinguishable, otherwise they are simply the same experience. For example, the experience of...
Drivel. When you get something more interesting to say, please give me a call. Excuses are many. It's so complex - that's why we suck. It's the social...
I tell you, our culture is at fault. We're too weak today. We cry about every little thing. Transexual bathrooms! That's the big problem of the world....
Alas, today we have no scientists of the rank of a Newton, or a Kepler, or a Galileo. Stephen Hawking, pff. Einstein was up there, but even he's gone ...
By this principle, you should name me the not so great artist by today's standard, whose works are the equivalent of the Mona Lisa. I'm all ears. I al...
LOL! Why does no one paint a Mona Lisa today then? Why no one is writing Macbeth? Why are Macbeth and Mona Lisa widely admired still, and the many wor...
Sure you can... why do you think there were so many creative geniuses during the Renaissance compared to now? Because they had a good, strong and heal...
No actually they wouldn't really like that. They'd like to BE a rich man, a genius or a famous person. Why? Well because they have others liking them,...
Well that's no fun is it? It's not about BEING those things, it's about BECOMING those things. Being a creative genius - if someone puts me in the ski...
No I'm not arguing that. I'm saying that their belief that it is true is based on their desire for it to be true much more than on whether it actually...
So if I am Floyd Money Mayweather and beat everyone without ever losing, how is it injurious to my body? Clearly it can be injurious, it doesn't neces...
Yes, they should be illegal too. (To clarify, not having a tattoo/piercing but giving those in exchange for money should be illegal) Boxing is a sport...
Those hermaphrodites are suffering of a malformation, it's a disease, not the natural state of being. Just like some are born with no arms and no legs...
Well certainly if you can see souls, then I'd expect you to have much greater insights than I would with regards to God no? I suppose that you can con...
And how do you expect us - the folks who don't see souls every other day - to believe or understand this? How can we understand this? Are we supposed ...
This is utterly insane. Honestly. I think these progressives have just lost the plot. If you have a penis and feel you should have a vagina, then you ...
Yes, but that's not the point I'm making. If you look at the OP and proceeding conversations, you will see that it's about the dynamics of such relati...
Also it seems that all that progress means for you is higher GDP/capita. Or in other words it's all about economics. Well it's not. It's also about cu...
Is Pussy Riot the minority of the intelligentsia that is against Putin? >:O >:O As I said, Europe has a golden present, and a pitch black future. And ...
The fact of the matter is that the second law of thermodynamics is a law that we have more proof for than possibly any other law in physics, including...
Not only do you spray it layer after layer, but say if you try to print the letter "T" the way it shows on the screen, standing up, it will fail to pr...
So? That doesn't mean thermodynamics contradicts R or QM. It simply means it's describing a complementary aspect of reality that isn't described by ei...
In what way is thermodynamics contradicting relativity or quantum mechanics? If you look at it you will see that there is no contradiction. The contra...
False. The Finnish researchers's device and Maxwell's Demon Reverse heat flow in agreement with the second law of thermodynamics by increasing their o...
No the second law of of thermodynamics has never been violated. The silica bead experiment proves something that we already know - that the second law...
You should not discard the fact that this world is headed down the rabbit hole anyway, sooner or later. The entire laws of physics guarantee the disso...
There is a certain arrogance in this. As a developer of technology myself I am acutely aware of how "fragile" all technology is - some technology can ...
I don't disagree with this, but the fact is that most are in fact greedy scumbags and lazy bums. The only question is can we help educate them to be d...
Yes and no. Taoism strikes a balance between pragmatism and statesmanship and vagabondism that I haven't seen in any other religion. Remember that the...
Probably in the US, where kids are used to such devices. If you come to my country, if a school was to give such devices to children, the parents woul...
I've been to relatively well-to-do small business where they keep their warehouses on paper, by hand. And the guy in charge of the warehouse has a fit...
Yes but get away from these abstractions. Take Eastern European countries. Almost everyone has a cell phone here. Yet they know shit about cell phones...
It is rapidly expanding in the developed world. But go to Africa and see what things are like over there :P Give it 100 years, and still African peopl...
Sure. >:O - no I'm not saying that this is what OUGHT to happen (or as you like to put it, that it is OK) - but rather that this IS what will happen (...
Maybe but you forget that it's only very small parts of the world where this is happening. Most of the world lives and will continue to live very diff...
Ok thanks for that. See I take that as activity. I myself engage in that kind of activity; it's called the activity of thinking and it's good you're d...
Your claim that you do so and not get bored I find unlikely to be true. That guy does nothing and DOES get bored. There's a difference there. I doubt ...
Did you not read the "apart from"? Perhaps new glasses would be helpful. Furthermore you didn't read that that guy actually does get bored, and quite ...
>:O No but this was different. This wasn't just sitting doing nothing for one day or a weekend - but a long period of time. Yes, that I have not heard...
Sure but you're not answering in any clear terms. That to me is the equivalent of this being a faith based commitment. You hope reality will turn out ...
Again, for me, in no sense would I be deceived in that scenario. What you mean by deception is simply not what would be happening to me. In the Matrix...
