Assad's in Moscow. He used chemical weapons on his people, so why not hang out in Russia?

I use ChatGpt to write whimsical stories featuring students in my class. It illustrates them as well (the stories, not the kids). The kids love it. By...

So you're saying the probability God exists is extremely low?
December 03, 2024 at 01:39
No, but I think they swallowed a lot of abuse to keep a woman out of the Whitehouse.
December 01, 2024 at 16:23
I think that's not a bad assumption. Any theory competing with yours also has the problem of creation ex nihilo. I think mind is a better candidate fo...

So we've learned in America that when people are faced with single-digit transitory inflation, all their climate concerns go out the window and they v...

Why does the mind have a start, but not an end? Shouldn't it be infinite in both directions, past and future?
December 01, 2024 at 01:07
The color analogy is a good one.
December 01, 2024 at 00:44
How does the notion of consent factor into your theory?
November 30, 2024 at 18:52
But NOS4A2 right. The American people had all the evidence in front of them and they didn't care about it. Well, a chunk of Americans cared more about...

Chat GPT is awesome for helping with Bayes Theorem. What do you guys think? Here’s a summary of your reasoning and calculations: The Question: Does th...

Usually the design proponent likens the designer to an all-powerful, omnibenevolent god, who would prefer universes with life in it, but that has prob...
November 26, 2024 at 18:03
That doesn't follow for the simple fact that there is almost no cheating in lotteries despite the existence of lottery designers. The designers want t...

What is x and H in your equation?
November 25, 2024 at 18:33
I think they would argue that the personality of the designer is an extrapolation of the designers we know and there is some basis for assuming a univ...
November 25, 2024 at 15:19
I don't think that last part follows. I think the intelligent design proponent can claim that the designer is a living intelligent being. As such, the...

That is true, but that is not where Trump and MAGA are now. Trump has made it clear he does not like brown and black people. They eat pets. They're ra...
November 23, 2024 at 15:29
I have the same intuition. I'm partial to thought experiments where a person must save a child or x amount of zygotes. No matter what x is, a rational...
November 22, 2024 at 02:42
Not a single word from Trump or his people either, about the change in policy. What are you expecting Trump to do about Ukraine?
November 21, 2024 at 22:52
Did anyone win the money yet?
November 21, 2024 at 21:38
Look who she ran against. If she had been a white male, she would have clobbered Trump. Women and minorities are underrepresented in all aspects of le...

The way Democrats can win an election is not run a woman again for the next ten years. Harris lost the battleground states by a heartbreakingly small ...

Nope. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/trump-says-immigrants-are-poisoning-blood-country-biden-campaign-liken-rcna130141 Poisoning the b...

There are very good reasons for the West not liking those countries and trying to contain them.
November 21, 2024 at 15:25
How does that square with: ""If someone is willing to kill even their own unborn children, then how can they be counted on that they won't kill other ...
November 20, 2024 at 22:50
Other people? This implies that the fetus is a person. And what if the mother's life is at stake or we're dealing with a rape victim? You would prohib...

But you can the see the appeal of such a brain replacement thought experiment.
November 20, 2024 at 02:18
If a neuron dies, you won't lose consciousness. So, if we replace your neurons, one by one, with functionally equivalent mechanical neurons, you would...

Biden didn't get the most votes in 2020?
November 19, 2024 at 16:04
It's stupid policy to have 11 million undocumented people living in this country. It's stupid politics on the Democrats part to tolerate/enable that a...
November 18, 2024 at 20:12
Sam Harris said voters don't like seeing women boxers punched in the face by men. He's right. Biological men in women's sports is a minor issue in the...

What is to stop large companies from erecting barriers to entry and price-fixing, colluding, and predatory pricing?
November 12, 2024 at 01:08
I was very surprised so many women would swallow the insults from Trump/Vance and vote for the pro-life sexual predator. If Harris had talked about pr...
November 07, 2024 at 20:21
Women got pro-choice amendments passed in Kansas and Ohio, of all places. I think they're going to turn out in droves to put one of their own in and s...

There is no such thing as long term anarchy in this world. If something depopulated 99% of the world, maybe, but not in the world we live in. If gover...
November 05, 2024 at 02:31
I'm a consequentalist. I don't think anarchy is just. It's one of the worst states of affairs, which is why it never lasts long.

November 04, 2024 at 14:39
It's a nine ketchup packet storm for sure.
November 04, 2024 at 14:37
The signs look good, and I think Trump will lose, but he should be losing women by 90 points. I don't understand women who would vote for him. Is it b...
November 04, 2024 at 02:46
But then you're making a trivial point. Would you rather live in Heaven or Hell? Which is a more moral state of affairs? Heaven, on both counts, of co...
November 04, 2024 at 01:42
OK, let's say you're granted a wish and you wish all the governments away. It's anarchy. You're living on your own in your cabin in the woods and Humu...
November 04, 2024 at 00:48
Anarchy is ephemeral because humans are social animals and inevitably people will band together and power structures will emerge. In this modern era t...

Where do the souls of aborted babies go? What would a soul of an embryo frozen for centuries experience?
October 30, 2024 at 23:30
Are you just a collection of particles or are you something more? This is where religion probably comes into play.
October 30, 2024 at 19:21
But how far would you go to saving a zygote? I can envision myself maybe running into a burning building to save a person trapped there, but a petri d...
October 29, 2024 at 13:20
It has some value in that it has a decent chance of becoming a person. If I saw a zygote dying on the sidewalk, would I take it in the house and keep ...
October 28, 2024 at 23:46
You're trying to remove intuition from ethics. That's impossible. If your ethically theory leads to extreme counter-intuitives (and yours does), it's ...

Did you see my question pages ago about the fertility clinic and the orphanage? Suppose a fire breaks out at an orphanage with a dozen kids and a fert...
