It was a real fight from McGregor, much more than from Mayweather, until round 6 when Mayweather took control of the match from McGregor, by just outl...

Stamina won the match for Mayweather. But, McGregor won on points until the last two rounds.

K, this works pretty well. http://www.vipbox.live/boxing/485533/8/money-belt-:-floyd-mayweather-vs-conor-mcgregor-12-rounds-super-welterweight-live-st...

I have some links; but, they're under heavy traffic and not working as well. Anyone have a good link to the fight?

Hmm, well Wittgenstein said that where you cannot speak then better left alone or in quiet. And, what do you mean about getting ahead in life? After a...

I like to use Godel's incompleteness theorem to elucidate the matter. There are some propositions in any formal language that can be true; but, can't ...

Some hand action there.

What? If we all knew what it is that it is about then it would be really nice and peaceful and quiet. Kinda Zen'ish.

It is what it is.

Sad thing is that suffering becomes a pretext for martyrdom and platitudes of righteousness. I see nothing wrong with bearing one's own cross, as long...

Thomas Sowell is my favorite conservative economist BTW.

I just like playing with words; but, I'd be a conservative if the people representing it were actual conservatives.

Conservativism is too serious to be taken seriously. Like for real y'all.

Libertarianism might work as an ideal with a level playing field for all companies to start with while not abusing patent laws. But I digress, just as...

Well there is no reward for being wise and a good person. It's a rather selfless desire and pursuit. Not many people are motivated by selflessness but...

Well, economically were not at a stage where we can sit back and relax. Compounded with the fact that human desire knows no bounds it'll stay that way...

I mean definitions are circular but do denote things, otherwise solipsism?

Yes, and if a lion could speak we would not understand it. This hinges on the notion that rationality is distinct and not continuous over other domain...

Most of the best engineers already have some technical expertise as in formal education in technical schools to then later develop more skills in the ...

What has been said cannot be unsaid. It is what it is. And where of one cannot speak then better leave unsaid.

The future is a mystery, the past history, all we have now is a/the present. What has been said cannot be unsaid. It is what it is. And where of one c...

I feel the need to post this here: Isn't 'It is what it is', put together the three laws of thought into one propositional attitude entity? It has all...

Isn't 'It is what it is', put together the three laws of thought into one propositional attitude entity? It has all three properties of thought put in...

Isn't this a case for scientific or even platonic realism and not for the mind body divide that you're trying to construe?

It is what it is. God that phrase is catchy, like a mantra that needs to be told and told again to a disordered mind.

It still is what it is. Whereof one cannot speak thereof one ought to remain silent.

It is what it is. >:)

It's a hypothesis, but I feel like Tiff civilizes the place from people who love fish tacos like Hanover. I could be wrong!

It is what it is.

So, as I understand it, you're basically saying that complex systems have emergent phenomena (epiphenomena) within them that could not have been appar...

I have another way of answering that question, via the CTD-principle mentioned earlier in regards to @Wayfarer. If it can be proven either true or fal...

That is true to some extent. We just don't know how a human simulated mind in a computer will end up like. It might become depressed, schizophrenic, o...

But, what is being asked of me is to prove grounds for there existing a false negative. It can't be done and seemingly will never be able to be proven...

Well, it is true for any formal system. Again, making the distinction between believing a proposition is true from it actually being true. For all els...

So, your argument is some sort of Zeno's paradox, as in we're not there thus we'll never get there? Because I don't see what you say or have reference...

I think the CIA does a better job than any military at subversion of a population. Then again, there's Cuba and many South American countries that wil...

If you can disprove the Church-Turing-Deutsch principle, then I'll retract my assumption.

That's not entirely true. Godel's incompleteness theorem asserts that there are some propositions within a system that cannot be proven inside that sy...

That's approaching the level of making a metaphysical claim. I see no grounds to assert that. There's a bigger issue at play though. Does everything h...

There's little to no evidence pointing that there are extraneous (metaphysical) factors at play when analyzing the mind (brain). And most of said evid...

That's again not a problem as long as there's no hard limit in terms of the physics of the human mind that 'cant' be emulated. The arguments against p...

Sure, you can't surmount a mountain in one giant leap, but, everything is pointing in that direction as we speak. Self-driving cars, then planes, then...

The fact that the human mind is simulable. There seem to be no hard physical laws that would prohibit that from that statement not being true.

Well, because AI will know us better than we know ourselves. We created it, it is a sentient being corn out of our efforts. Everything we know, AI wil...

It'll take some few generations before Afghanistan is ready to embrace American values.

Sounds like Rome struggling with the Vandals back a while ago. Let them be, just introduce a lot of high-tech and see how long it takes them to realiz...

So, what is going on in the depressed mind when one only feels gloomy and sad? Is it all a deficiency on some neurotransmitter level or maybe an exces...

You'd be surprised what releasing endorphins from cracking some joints in a specific manner and place can do. Never doubt the placebo effect also.

It is what it is.

Why isn't this a topic about pragmatism and the latter Wittgenstein? I don't see how there's even something unrealistic being said with such a tautolo...
