This does not deal with the topic of whether creativty is discovery or not. This is a different topic, namely,how the creative process works. I am not...

Well, if that's a true description of your claim, which I believe it is, and I shall treat it as such (and therefore please don't alter it in this thr...

Science has more qualifiers (arguably) than just its theories need to be falsifiable and it must settle with the simplest explanation. The other quali...

In a running race (like Marathon races) people are assigned each a different number. For identification purposes. Would you call those numbers (one in...

Did I mention VALUES anywhere in my post? What the heck is this sort of Strawman fallacy? Don't upset me, please. Ethics are subjective values, and as...
March 21, 2020 at 15:14
Whatever. If you call it ethical, it's shmafu. Meaningless. Haphazard. If you make good, solid arguments why it ought to be a different way, I support...

No. People like you ignore evil, unhelpful things. I, and people like I, fight against them. The Bible quote -- was it a quote? or your paraphrasing a...

Thanks. And I agree with your analysis of how logic works. I would call the two types you described as analytical logic and applied logic. But only be...

@"Noobernolife", you are mixing up ethics with human rights again. Granted, they have to do something with each other.

This is a ratio. It can increase in value if the numerator (the top part) increases faster, than the denominator (the bottom part). You were worried t...
