08:26:29 - arrival of off-duty fire fighter/EMT Hansen on scene. 20:33(?) Fire fighter/EMT Hansen. time of call - electronic voice date stamp. Exhibit...
Is this some kind of exercise in public relations? Or is the prosecution seeking to enter "emotional testimony" into the proceedings? What pertinent f...
4 more "bystander" type witnesses to testify to what is almost certainly stipulated in large part by the defence; such that their testimony will add n...
Before lunch today we saw the opening statements of the prosecution and defence, and prosecution examination of the telephone despatch operator, Jena ...
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-56544239 Read this, and explain to me how he charts the course of energy development as key to the deve...
How I imagine it, we commit to developing the energy resources to address climate change - using massive clean energy from magma to extract carbon, de...
I do not accept there is over-population, so I cannot answer your question, but I will say this: resources are a function of the energy available to p...
Over-population is not the problem. The mis-application of technology is the problem. Applying the right technologies, the world could support a large...
In the future I envisage, a petroleum crisis does not occur because we harness limitless clean energy from magma, and use that energy to extract carbo...
I am a real philosopher; insofar as I seek to communicate an idea abut how the world is, and how it might be - if we believed something else, in my vi...
Is that a rhetorical question? I do not doubt their piety - but rather suggest that they existed within a socio-economic and political context in whic...
Imagine Galileo, Hume, Russel, Kant and many others, with the blessing of the Church - had argued in course of the view that science is the means to d...
Okay, but we cannot ignore the unreasonableness of the argument! If you insist that, upon picking up a stone - and dropping it, I cannot know; which i...
You make the same argument here: but it only pertains if we have no other knowledge. We understand the mechanisms that cause the sun to "rise." In fac...
Or it could be that science doesn't require absolute and repeated proof of that which is proven to the satisfaction of reason - within the allocated b...
Nice computer Georgios! Science is true because it works. My question would be how do you not recognise science as truth? And why do you want so despe...
I think a herd immunity approach was considered and rejected as a non-viable strategy - and the lockdown measures put into place, and immunization of ...
Use of the word "systems" makes the instruction, to imagine two systems - non specific enough to allow you to race past with your conclusion while the...
I'd like to start to believe that's true but efforts so far look almost deliberately feeble. To my mind, if we want to keep using fossil fuels, and we...
I believe that a prosperous and sustainable future is possible, from where we are, by accepting science is true as common ground, and further I believ...
Yes, I do believe that in 50, 100, 1000 years from now the second law of thermodynamics, evolution, the bacterial theory of disease, h2O, will be h20 ...
Okay, deconstruct my knowledge claim that water is two parts hydrogen to one part oxygen! Deconstruct the bacterial theory of disease - such that it i...
If I might chip in to say - great thread, and I wholly agree - that both moral and epistemic relativism are toxic, and it's great to see that view bei...
Oh, right - you mean my determination to attempt always, to speak the truth, rather than blow smoke up your arse? That's why the friendliness, or othe...
Jacob Needleman you say? I'll have to look out for him. Because that seems broadly correct to me - although I say that, cautious of where he's going w...
What attitude? I'm thinking that's projection on your part. We'll see! Freedom is not all kinds of things in political theory; and it's in those terms...
Plato is closer. Concepts like justice are expressions of an innate moral sense that developed within hunter gatherer tribes that we homo sapiens live...
Well, so far - there has been no point to responding. As an attempt to educate you, it has so far proven an entirely fruitless endeavour. But I could ...
Right, but... ...I don't see how this follows. I think so too. Human reason naturally bridges the "is" and the "ought" I don't know what that means, b...
What does that have to do with the question - does anyone in the West still want to be free? There's zero implication to subjectivism in the question;...
I don't think it's truth versus pleasure. I think its power versus truth. I think there is an innate attraction to truth as a consequence of evolution...
I have no idea what you might possibly mean by this; even from context, relating it to limitations - what on earth do you mean? Do you imagine I was i...
I'm agnostic on epistemic grounds. I don't know - and furthermore, nor does anyone else. I'm content with that arrangement, and for whatever reason, a...
We are not free; so I don't think it a valid question. Freedom is an ideal; a starting point for thought that is then traded for social goods like law...
Oddly, in the picture of the Galton box, I see the exact opposite of your conclusion: The experiment itself relies on the fact that steel balls, poure...
I am not resorting to anything. It is my opinion - seemingly shared by others. My reasons for describing the LHC as a giant white elephant are slightl...
Very well, but that only raises another question about your question; particularly given that in general, children are indoctrinated with the idea of ...
