Or perhaps, they are the sum of the whole. Which, mind you, the parts are not always the sum of the whole, meaning, sometimes, the whole is greater th...

As a strict matter of fact, most if not all laws that govern the world we live in dissipate during at least one known and observable phenomenon, a bla...

One might argue that firearm laws don't prevent firearm deaths entirely. Of course not. No more than requiring a license exam to ensure a person can s...

You can actually make your own AI, that is to say, configure it entirely based on a few prompts or an entire library, with enough resource and where-w...

Let's imagine a dark room. Then you turn a light on and it's no longer dark. You don't just sit there reminiscing about how it used to be when the lig...

And yet the irony of it all is, these people have yet to come up with anything that they claim to be so important! Complaining is the cheapest thing i...

Well, like I said, invent a new concept that hasn't been so already. Propose one, at least. Most all concepts are bilateral in nature or otherwise sha...

I would imagine some would say something along the lines of "it's all been perfected long ago" and thus anything else is simply a deviation and less e...

We'll never really know what those before us thought of and discussed before the written record. War and the nature of this finite world itself tends ...

Fun fact: if @"Hanover" had to become a fish, he would become a flounder because he would admire the ability to lay on his side whilst maintaining ful...

I advise against it.

Do the insane really have rank, though? That speaks more of humanity as a whole, at least the society in question that placed them or allowed them to ...

I feel like listening to the voice of a TPF moderator would have some sort of effect similar to what happened in "The Evil Dead" so while I myself wil...

The Count responded to me. My G-mail said so. He normally doesn't give me the time of day. I'm so excited. Perhaps I should eat something. No, no, I'm...

Logic comes from predictability. What works consistently over what doesn't that generally offers tangible benefit, usually life saving circumstance. D...

By definition a mistake is non-intentional. The concept or state of being "clever" requires conscious intention so as such the concept is, well, a non...

That's great. You made an inaccurate statement, that statement basically being: "social expectation is not required (forced upon )". Scientific facts ...

Animals that don't fit in are ostracized. Ostracization in the animal kingdom has a 90%+ rate of death. Are you religious and believe humans are set a...

I imagine there might be less bullying, but perhaps not, as you've not specifically precluded weight or size in general, as well as the phenomenon of ...
June 16, 2025 at 03:14
I would like to have a discussion (not really just a reply from anyone who has any insight) on the possible correlations between the fact that lion ta...

A mind is a terrible thing to waste. Perhaps something has taken him? Perhaps.
June 14, 2025 at 00:14
Ideally, one should not bow to the wicked (immoral, excuse me). Of course, in practice, just as you mention in the example, people have children and t...

The argument is some people's definition of an "oppressive regime" is one that punishes criminals for their criminality. There is no world government ...

We frequent different depths of the Internet, that's all I can say. It is. It certainly is. :grin:
June 13, 2025 at 03:19
I'll admit many posters here have me beat as far as strict encyclopedic memory (knowing/being able to immediately recall all the "buzzwords", and base...

I've illustrated no dishonesty in any interaction we've had on this web forum, whereas you, as others would agree (and perhaps may be inclined to soon...

See, this is fine. Up to the point you fail to realize "magma energy" is akin, at least in the argument you framed, to anything that is non-dependent ...
June 12, 2025 at 14:13
How could you be so dense? What is tied to every single name, claim, and refusal of such is one thing: human nature. People are liars. Natural opportu...
June 12, 2025 at 12:47
Of course not. Furthermore, conflating metaphysics with intellectual "logic chopping" is absurd. Yes, logic is required for any sort of meaningful com...

I enjoy reading his posts. Not habitually or in an obsessive way, just casually as I see new ones on the front page. I have the site loaded up a lot. ...

Let's just say I see a young me (albeit much more intelligent) in you. I would hate for brashness and your obfuscation of "pushing the envelope" or "b...

Have you ever? :lol: Hey I may not be one of the players here, not so popular (as you might be able to gather from my username, I don't desire such), ...

Why not post about something fun you did today, maybe a walk in the park you went on, or a new meal you've tried, with photos! Boy, do I love me some ...

I think he's talking about space, perhaps harvesting resources from asteroids or other planets or perhaps solar energy (either as is currently harvest...

I think it's more hijacked by those who are larger and less intelligent to bully those who are smaller, skinnier, perhaps talk with a bit higher voice...

This is factually incorrect. Possessing one or more qualities, such as liking the color blue or behaving in a way that warrants negative attention, su...

What makes a climate activist any different than a "don't put lead in paint" activist. They have a point that can be scientifically proven. Sure somet...

Sure, if that's what it says that's what it says. But of course some legal contracts (yes, those things most people don't read that in fact legally se...

Surely pain is measurable. Sure, specifics of such, as one could imagine privately without needing speak such graphic details are unique to those who ...

To be fair, the consistent "caller of chromosomes", as it were, is not @"Harry Hindu", he's simply responding to what information he was given to acce...

Argument being, posting on some random website is not a requirement of life or a human right. I.E., you went to some dude's house because you wanted t...
