The only references I found for it on Google were to your post.

I've been saving this - an asexual children's rhyme: Jimmy and Carol, sitting in a tree S-I-T-T-I-N-G.

Good life choices are easier to make in some places than others, e.g. Indian reservations vs. affluent suburbs.

I don't think they're paying attention to me. Perhaps they'll listen to you.

This is completely at odds with the fundamental basis of modern physics. There's no legitimate physicist in the world who believes it. Light propagate...

My post wasn't intended as real criticism. I was just giving you crap.

"Bellicosity" means you're an asshole, "Bellicism" means you're an asshole on principle.

Your post started me thinking, so I thought I'd check the single red county in Wisconsin. That's Menominee County, home of the Menominee Indian reserv...

I thought this was interesting. https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1f8DYW.img?w=1920&h=1080&q=60&m=2&f=jpg

Bellicism - The policy or practice of resorting to war even when it is not necessary and is avoidable. You've taught me a new word. Thanks.

The only thing I'm afraid of is putting more wood on the NOS4A2 fire.

It's clear you believe what you're writing. But you don't respond to that criticism honestly. You just deny the value of the evidence and cynically re...

The possible role of observation in "collapsing the wavefunction" or whatever is a completely different phenomenon than the observer effect. That's ex...

Yes... well... Hey! That's some damn good poetry.

I've looked at some of your posts. They are thoughtful and well written. My problem is that responding to Nos4a2's posts just gives him an audience ev...

Giving an audience to someone who does not engage in good faith with the argument is not defending the truth.

I have no problem with responding, especially if you have been specifically addressed. It's just that for most, it's just the same arguments over and ...

Hey, you can't agree with both @"Benkei" and me, can you? We are disagreeing with each other.

But all of you are just making the same arguments over and over again and he is not being responsive. He doesn't engage with the argument, just blows ...

Isn't Mishima a noir character? Shakespearian? A dark, brooding, ambiguous figure?

I agree with this. I think the distinction you make between duty as a director rather than a motivator is a good one.

I think I do understand, but I disagree with what you wrote. As I noted, I don't think duty is the strongest motivator or even a particularly importan...

No. I don't see it as contradictory at all.

This is certainly not true of me. Motivation comes from inside. It comes from love, empathy, fear, hunger, hate, shame, guilt, friendship, fellow feel...

I don't get it. I only take a peek at this thread once in a very long time, but you guys are still responding to NOS4A2 after hundreds of pages. I can...

I subscribed back in the 1970s. I finally gave up because so many of the articles were over my head. I didn't take another look until the 2000s. Might...

I don't think there's much of a disagreement between you and me and what there is is metaphysical, epistemological, not scientific. You and I just see...

One thing that Becker wrote and that I endorse is that, even if different interpretations can not be distinguished empirically, they have epistemologi...

It has always surprised? confused? me how often the Treaty of Westphalia is referenced (blamed?), 375 years later, in relation to current internationa...

What we have here is a failure to communicate. This statement doesn't challenge Bell's theorem, it's implications, or your interpretation. It's my ped...

I never said you misinterpreted Bell's theorem, I said you misrepresented what I wrote. Which you've just done again. I don't think our misunderstandi...

You have misrepresented the things I wrote in every response you've made to my posts in this discussion and I'm tired of it. What I'm saying is not th...

I understand that phenomena at atomic and subatomic scales behave differently than those at human scale. It is common that phenomena at different scal...

I don't see how the two phrases are interchangeable at all.

I wrote it from memory then went on the web and added more. I listed things I judged to be his accomplishments, i.e. they were accomplished based on h...

Are you talking about me again? If so, stop misrepresenting what I wrote.

You keep misstating my position. It's frustrating. I never wrote and I don't believe that the subatomic world is describable in terms of classical phy...

I didn't say that the two approaches disagreed, I said that one of the reasons many worlds is appealing is that some people see it as addressing the c...

I'll put it on my list, but I generally don't do well with harrowing.

This is a subject I'm really in interested in and, from what I've read, your posts are well written and interesting, but they're way too long. You're ...

I think Joe Biden is the best US President in my adult lifetime. I made a list of his accomplishments trying to avoid arm waving and stick to concrete...

She doesn't make clam chowder, but her fish chowder is wonderful. One of my favorite things. Yes, you probably will. And I probably won't boil my pean...

Give my wife a call. I'm sure you two can work it all out. Perhaps we can make arrangements for her to throw you in front of a bus when she reaches 86...

As I noted on another thread, I did read Becker's book and enjoyed it. It was a bit too People Magazine for me - about biography, personality, and rel...

You know, I never asked. I guess it's because that's when her mother died. Her father is still alive at 96 and she has not liked what she saw in the p...

Except you'll find people who disagree with that. The whole many earth's interpretation was developed to address that issue. Reality is a metaphysical...
