So after ½ a minute, she's traveled half the distance. After ¾ minute she's traveled ¾ a kilometre. And so on. And, although there are in infinite num...

So let's suppose it takes the runner one minute to run 1 km. That OK?

Can you see that the series ½ + ¼ + ?... is infinity long, and yet adds to 1?

Don't set off up the garden path so quickly.

You're overthinking it. ½ + ¼ + ?...=1

Anything moving from point A to pointB must first travel half of that distance, which will take half the time of the whole trip. Before that it has to...

Again, you want to make a difference, let teachers teach.

Yep. And how long is it since you protested in front of a school? And do you think that would make a difference? Try going inside, instead, and listen...

Me, for one.

On the contrary, that phrase is hackneyed.

Yes, he will, if you can forge that advice in a form that makes Trump appear greater to himself.

Trump is not the US. I don't want this to happen.

All holograms are Goats.

I'm in. Debates offer the structure needed for depth of analysis.

This deserves an ad hom. And if you adhere to the Goat Theory of the Universe, you can say it exists, if it is a goat.

An ad hom would be if I claimed an argument here is wrong because the author's mother wore army boots. But what I claimed, indirectly, is that philoso...

And while there may be an element of cynical calculation in some of the administration's crisismongering, this is looking less and less like a politic...

Yep. Next?

Holographic patterns. As if this forum were for failed physicists.

Yep.

A good answer is that to exist is to be the subject of a predicate - that is, roughly, to exist is to be spoken of. So Santa Exists.

Any philosophical discussion that reaches for QM has gone astray.

I can't see how that could work.
