    Self-criticism in the American Left base

    You should read up on the argumentum ad populum.

    Self-criticism in the American Left base

    I just explained to you that the closest we have to that is secular / humanistic morality. Curiously though, you decided not to quote that part. I don't, but even if I did, that doesn't change anything. A morality from authority isn't objective. It's subjective to that authority. An...

    30,000 feet of water?????

    Indeed. I once saw an interesting documentary about this. Dealing with the difference between human learning and chimp learning. Rather ironically, the conclusion could be phrased as "we humans are a lot smarter because we tend to be dumber" :tearsofjoy: The explanation was that we humans...

    Why the double standard?

    I'm a software engineer. I know how these things work. I also know for a fact that there is no "steering" going on by any governments and it is purely based on user activity. You can do the test yourself. Spend 2 weeks not clicking articles concerning gaza / israel and instead actively search...

    Arrest warrant for Netanyahu and Hamas leader

    If the people with arrest warrants get arrested, they will be prosecuted by the ICC, regardless of what the US thinks about it. Off course, the US is not a member of the ICC. Which in itself is off course telling. However, neither is the point. The point is that the arrest warrants exist...

    Self-criticism in the American Left base

    Strange reason. Somehow I doubt it.

    How shall we correct this injustice?

    I disagree. While I certainly agree there should be consequences (punishment) for misdeeds, it is quite obvious that as a deterrent it doesn't really work to prevent misdeeds. I think education is far more effective then punishment. Also overall culture with focus on ethics in general. A...

    Evolution, maybe someone can explain?

    You once again are showing that you tend to argue in bad faith. I acknowledged the blurryness of the lines at the boundaries - and noted that such will exist at the boundaries of any grouping (paraphyletic or otherwise). Meanwhile, things like whales and tunas and sharks aren't in such blurry...

    Evolution, maybe someone can explain?

    I don't know, was it? Right, because tiktaaliks are found all the time everywhere in any strata, right? Or is it?

    Why the double standard?

    And the answer is: there likely isn't. There is only the algorithm that you trained to serve you with stories about Gaza/Israel instead of Russia/Ukraine I did answer. Digital newsfeeds are composed based on interest of the target, not based on what goes on in the world or what is most...

    Why the double standard?

    The companies that own the platforms. You are talking about news outlets who have their own reporters and publish their own articles. If it concerns facebook, x, youtube, or some other such platform then they don't have their own reporters publishing their own stories. Their stories come from...

    Arrest warrant for Netanyahu and Hamas leader

    https://www.icc-cpi.int/news/situation-state-palestine-icc-pre-trial-chamber-i-rejects-state-israels-challenges This just in. The international criminal court has just issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu, Gallant and Mohammed Deif (hamas leader) for warcrimes / crimes against humanity. Good...

    Why the double standard?

    If you wish to call it that when people point out to you that you can't manage to reply to a post while staying on topic of the post you reply to. To recapitulate: the post in question concerned the fact that digital newsfeeds are composed by algorithms based on a user's online activity and...

    Evolution, maybe someone can explain?

    to qualify as a fish, an organism must exhibit traits such as aquatic living conditions, gills for respiration, a streamlined body with fins and scales, cold-blooded metabolism, specific reproductive methods, and a skeleton made of either bone or cartilage. As always when it comes to setting...

    Evolution, maybe someone can explain?

    Cool, so you agree then. The team successfully used evolution theory and evolutionary history to predict the anatomy, location and age of transitional fossil between fish and tetrapods. So what are you arguing about or for again?

    Evolution, maybe someone can explain?

    Right, misunderstood you there. Indeed, bony fish are closer related to tetrapods then to sharks. But that doesn't matter. Tetrapods don't fit the criteria of fish. Bony fish and sharks, do. Paraphyletic group, remember? Tetrapods aren't part of it. Tunas and sharks are.

    Why the double standard?

    If it concerns digital newsfeeds through mail or on some type of social media platform, and even certain news sites, then most likely this is the case, yes

    Why the double standard?

    Another reply completely irrelevant to the post you are responding to. Are you capable of staying on point?
