Yes correct, what we perceive as funny is what is unlikely and unexpected and thus low in entropy. But you're going from an example of something being...
But that's not really what you mean. You don't really mean that every word has no intrinsic meaning or value. All that you mean is that the intrinsic ...
Okay but that's not an answer to the question is it? You haven't explained how it actually happens that a non-numerical answer of this kind could be p...
No, I wouldn't thereby feel meaningless. Meaning is determined by things within my world - that's what meaning is. What the demon does is meaningless ...
Okay so it seems to be that you propose that a straight answer cannot be given because we simply don't know it and we must advance towards an answer, ...
Ok I know about this too. I know that stock trading is getting handed over to the computers with more and more complex models at predicting market mov...
Well yeah good luck with that. Very often when people run out of things to say they speak of love, but they do so vacuously, with love meaning only so...
When force, love, justice and so forth have failed, you don't talk to your mom, you pack your bags and out you go :P Yeah so? I'm just saying that the...
Sure it is used, but that's not what I'm asking for. I've actually studied and worked with chaos theory for engineering purposes with regards to struc...
Okay, but I gave you a practical problem. I wanna beat Coca-Cola. How do I go about it? If this beginning of systems logic cannot even suggest a path ...
What stops the Republican party from doing the same? And more importantly, if you can predict with mathematical precision, then please predict for me ...
Getting paid is part of what I like about working so no, I would definitely not do it without being paid (well depends who is asking for it without pa...
Well that's not necessarily the case. You could be self-employed and working in something you like or care about for example. I think work is a necess...
And you reckon the Chinese Daoist masters would consider such gatherings as part of the Daoist practice? I feel they were more interested in statecraf...
>:O You must be like some damn lion lying in indolence and inertia doing nothing. But common - how can one be interested just in themselves without ev...
Yes, that is true. You have to do something in your unstressed quiet time. Read something. Watch something. Learn something. Talk with someone. Play c...
Okay, so if he were saying that, does it follow that one should therefore cling to life at all costs? What he is saying is with reference to the after...
Except that I don't embrace struggle for a better life. I embrace it because the SPIRIT is greater than the FLESH - IN THIS LIFE. You can kill the fle...
So according to you Solomon says the following: If someone, under the threat of death, tells you to have sex with them (for example), then you should ...
That's because they're weak and petty, and worth nothing. They are like worms and vermins, they will do anything to cling to one more day of earthly l...
That's why they screwed the pooch, you answered it yourself. Because they only want paradise aftera life of great struggle. it's the struggle that tea...
Yes, banning them only makes sense if I am opposed. Romeo's and Juliet's love only made sense because of the great opposition against it. Because they...
No - because a world tailored to my needs takes away from the merit of my character. The world we live in isn't tailored to anyone's desires. That's g...
I don't find that entertaining, actually that's fucked up and disgusting. If I was in charge, I'd ban all horror movies for teaching and entertaining ...
You mean a world where my overcoming is guaranteed instead of merely possible? I would refuse, because then it wouldn't be my merit. My virtue, my cha...
Yes neither are right - the boy's interest is transitory (despite the fact he thinks otherwise), and the parents' interest is self-referential and wro...
I think the problem isn't that the truth can't be known, but rather that folks don't give a fuck about the truth. The one who can compel the others - ...
Yes but it's vacuous. It's empty of content. It makes no difference if you are a brain in a vat, or you are actually a living human being - it makes n...
Yes but these abstractions are precisely what folks use to negotiate. Intolerance is inevitable as my post shows. It's merely the fact that we are dif...
I googled this rainbow warrior and all I found is some native American tribes, and nothing to do with Taoism. There seems to be no Taoist rainbow warr...
Yes. What is it that you mean here? I'm trying to understand the sentence and read it a few times but I don't get it. Are you trying to say you don't ...
Maybe for you. I for one cannot conceive life without suffering. The possibility of suffering is an integral part of what it means to be alive. Yes th...
Yes, if your plan is to become the most knowledgeable man of your times - someone of the likes of Aristotle or Newton or Einstein - and your mission i...
No this is wrong. Most of the intelligentsia in Russia supports Putin. You're making a terrible mistake in thinking that Leftist ideals happen to be t...
Do you actually believe this Sci-Fi stuff of self-assembling robots? >:O We can't even cure diseases - like cancer for example - and we'll create self...
Why? This is only condescending if you presuppose that not having a strong man is better than having one. I think that's false. I think great nations ...
Hahahaha! That's why Obama talks like a kitten to all world leaders and went on an apology tour. That's why Obama has been allowing the Russians to ta...
Yes yes, like Hillary said that Trump's supporters are a basket of deplorables.... see what happened to her because of such cock-sureness and disrespe...
So? How is it of any help that you have such a large military when you have to cross the god-damn ocean? Nobody would bother to attack the US. That's ...
I can still remember when I went to Holland... my aunt drank "Mann Pis" - she thought it was juice >:O - so no, I don't think i would take the chance ...
