Is this another free logic example? We don't minimise surprise as I understand. The brain rewards surprises in learning. Young children in particular ...
:100: That I think your friends and neighbours being murdered in the streets might give you something more to aim for than But it's disappointing to h...
And, worse, mental health problems. Most serial killers were abused as children. Most homeless people have mental health problems. This is what's sick...
The analogy is with continuing to engage with someone long after you've realised they're not bound by normal debate conventions, like knowing or carin...
Not upset, just not averse to calling a spade a spade, and I've learned the hard way when to draw a line. There's an element of newbie poker involved ...
Bohmian mechanics is not a collapse interpretation. I think the only thing to be learned here is that you parrot stuff you've heard of without any com...
In collapse interpretations only. No, it shouldn't cause EM radiation. Collapse simply changes the state amplitudes. You're back to thinking that phys...
There's systems more fundamental than conscious systems. Consciousness only occurs in biological systems. One would expect therefore that a complete t...
:up: Exploring this point a bit more, one of the capacities of human intelligence is an ability to model larger social networks. So yeah I think highe...
Obviously there is, since consensus in science is built around evidence. Where there is no evidence, there is no orthodoxy. The correct interpretation...
That's untrue even in Bohmian mechanics. The electron is still moving, the relevant point is there should be a time-dependent electric dipole from the...
He was trying to get R's gun off him after R had just threatened a crowd and shot a man, yes. R's defense was that he felt, if his gun was seized, he'...
That he took a machine gun to a protest against police murdering black people? That the group he approached with said gun was largely black? That said...
No, you're not scientifically unorthodox, you're ascientific: your beliefs concerning nature are not impinged by scientific facts. I've already given ...
But you did say that. And, no, the paramedic did not say he was shot in self-defence. He said he had a gun pointed at Rittenhouse and thought Rittenho...
I did, because it is. You're not making an argument here, you're just reasserting outdated beliefs. There's nothing more here than someone insisting t...
The fundamental belief here being that a particle cannot be in more than one place. Remove the belief and the question vanishes. All that remains is t...
That's just a fundamental belief. For all we know it's spot on. (I don't believe so either, but I don't claim to know things that haven't yet been det...
That's not right. The wavefunction is a mathematical entity. MWI came from taking that entity as a literal description of the universe. It would look ...
Are you talking about Covid, or generally? In terms of Covid, it's all about probabilities. By vaccinating myself at the earliest opportunity, I've re...
Better than letting Fox News dictate how to solve it. Unless you're an employee of Fox News. I'd say the weakness is in not doing the right thing to p...
Yes, that's the weird thing. If police encountered an armed man who wouldn't disarm, they'd shoot him, and that would be fine. And R didn't want to be...
Iirc the self-defence argument was that R's first victim tried to get his gun off him, and R 'felt' that he'd be shot with it. Which is interesting. I...
So something like G = g + g S G is recursive, because you can take the whole RHS and substitute into the G on right: G = g + g S G = g + g S ( g + g S...
Back in those times, you were obsessing over Hunter Biden without any evidence of any conflict of interest in a Biden administration. Nowadays you're ...
By universal I was meaning ranges of values, not types of system. Your examples all suffer the same problem: for a given system, Hooke's law applies o...
Indeed, hence my analogy with the self-imposed ignorance of the UK Conservative government. It's too difficult to handle the fallout of acknowledging ...
BTW perturbative quantum field theory was recently put on pretty firm mathematical footing (see Perturbative Algebraic Quantum Field Theory by Kasia R...
No, but a) it was about immigration in general, despite the specific example of Russia having nothing to do with any other immigration case, and b) yo...
Let's check first how wide of the mark I am. Correct me where I deviate from what you say you meant. 1. Russia engaged in a bizarre demonstration of p...
I don't see how. The field equations are general (hence "general relativity") which seems a good condition for a 'law'. Hooke's works as long as you d...
Ego seems to be root of the problem. You want a legacy but are guaranteed none. The best I can think of is: you're more likely to be remembered if you...
As far as I can tell, this is the explicit part one of your thesis: that you're being constrained against discussing a particular and interesting even...
