Read on, Fool.

So it begins... Very exciting!

It's a logical statement, not a prediction of outcomes. If X can act on (e.g. move, torque, annihilate) Y then X has a property of being able to super...

:up: Regarding C3, yes, that would be my answer too. In addition: Yes, but that's not the end of it. There are so many opportunities to go out of your...

Actually (resurrector!) maybe not. The Cree in Canada were a traditional immediate return hunter-gatherer tribe centred around kinship groups. They we...

There's nothing particularly special about this though. If you have a particular neuron wired into your brain, you'll get different information out of...

Use a cubicle? Have that talk? If the sight of difference traumatises the little girl, I'm not sure that's anyone's fault but the parents'. Otherwise ...

Found your shift key, huh? Well done!

You might be onto something there... Caucasians that forced themselves on almost every indigenous peoples on the planet...

:rofl: The one astrophysical journal. :joke: It's the current reigning model, I take no credit for it (unless the name "insanely rapid" catches on, in...

Yeah interest rates will have to rise, they've been kept artificially low for a decade now.

Relevance?

Well it is, whether you think so or not. Even Wiki opens with:

Precisely why scientific evidence needs to be reproducible: if no one knows how to verify your results, it's not science. On this, instead of inventin...

It has no problem with the non-real (gods and goblins, souls and supermen, karma and... I can only think of K9, the robot dog from Doctor Who) so the ...

No, he assured us he has read this stuff and has a good grasp of it. Well, much more than 37bn. Part of inflation theory is that the universe must be ...

That's Love Island, not science ;)

Yes, it's a matter of mentality switching from the comparable sanity of special relativity, in which an object cannot recede from another faster than ...

Yes?

Ah! Sorry, the typo threw me. Keep it up, comrade!!! :rofl:

So the wheel is matter, and the spin of the wheel is energy. So far, so physicalist.

I'm not seeing any evidence that there was an interesting direction you wanted the conversation to go in. I naively thought, from and that there was s...

Something is wrong.

For prejudicial people, maybe. I still like the old fashioned ideas of facts and logic, curiosity over never needing to ask. Different strokes for dif...

I haven't claimed to figure anything out. I've put forth no meaning of my own. Apparently I've been sufficiently even-handed that Carlos thinks I've m...

You're welcome. First key thing is that the " inflationary period", while brief, was insanely rapid, with every point pretty much moving at speed c aw...

I'm responding to your hostile posts in a very polite manner. If you don't like the state of things, you have the power in your hands to improve them ...

But it does. Those estimates are themselves based on inflationary cosmological models.

Sorry, that it's no loss to an atheist/physicalist that we have no teleological meaning. That you can't compare the value of this meaning in a creatio...

I'm doing no such thing. Everyone is free to try to take the conversation in an on-topic direction, although no one is obliged to follow them. I could...

Too late, surely. When was the Conservative party last the steward of a strong economy? Certainly not Thatcher's 15% interest rate which killed invest...

Like inflation theory?

Wayfarer hit me with a similar accusation earlier. It's not true, though. My description is limited to the constraints in understanding how different ...

By ideosyncratic I mean ideosyncratic. Look it up.

The second sentence doesn't support the first. Jewish is an ethnicity. Judaism is an ethnic religion, as you apparently know since you tell me that: O...

Indeed. I have a sneaking suspicion that I might have nailed your idea of common sense up front:

Is this your first day of having conversations? By the way, scientists make their arguments to each other, and it is based on sense (empiricism) and i...

No takers. From the opposite perspective: 1. An existential meaning is personal, so long as one is rigorous in excising bad faith (religion, communism...

Electric charge?

When was the last time I saw a debate settled full stop? That's not a useful criteria and you've shifted your goalposts some. There is nothing stoppin...

Yes you can, you just can't do it mindlessly. EDIT: Or try and pass off ideosyncratic views as common sense, which happens a lot.

Hello Hello Human! What do you mean here, that beauty is intrinsic to beautiful things? It almost certainly isn't.

Okay, this isn't the first time you've tried to hit the destruct button, I'll take a hint. There's no bigger anti-smoker than an ex-smoker, and no gre...

Worse: "... and I know you don't either, so it's a conspiracy to force us together against our will." Bingo if he's a Jesus freak. It looks like the e...

Objective truth has nothing to do with it. This concerns belief. If you believe in an afterlife, your idea of life's meaning will be with respect to t...

I didn't say you were arguing for a narrow framework, rather that your posts betray an inability to think outside of one. And it holds true only in th...

No, I'm saying that something like "the meaning of life is to honour God so that he will let you into Heaven" has no value outside of religions where ...

... And decency. And history. Historically we have rejected men dictating womanhood to women, white women dictating womanhood to non-white women, midd...

I'm glad you were alert to the statue subtext of the conversation :wink: It can't have much value to you since you haven't looked into it :p The value...
