Little boy sit on the corner and cry
Big man come and he ask him why
Says I can't do what the big boys do
Man sat down and he cried too
It ain't me, it's the people who say
Men are leading the women astray
But I say it's the women today
Are smarter than the men in every way
That's right, the...
Here it comes:
"Kakistocracy: This term specifically denotes a government run by the least qualified or most unscrupulous individuals. The word originates from the Greek "kakistos," meaning "worst." In a kakistocracy, decision-making is often driven by self-interest rather than public good...
The question of whether we enjoy autonomous, libertarian free will or only experience the illusion of same is unanswerable. The universes that contain one would be indistinguishable to us from those containing the other.
Libertarian free will is the idea that the will is not the result of...
So two is an abstraction which seems to mean to you that there is no such thing, but one and zero are somehow different.
Incidentally, how many options are there when the options are one and zero?
How horrible for trees if that were true. It would be like locked-in syndrome, but without the...
Figure of speech, right? Hyperbole, correct?
Here's the thing: If the Republicans take the House along with the Senate and White House, they will do things that are catastrophic to ordinary citizens but not to them and there will be no guard rails to inhibit them. There will be no cavalry...
I don't either. As I've explained my posting is for other reasons. You'll see what I mean in the rest of this thread. You can probably tell who my target audience is.
I refuted your claim that "there is no science outside experiment" in the very post you just quoted. Here's what I wrote there...
Here's a related viewpoint. It's a little different because instrumentalism doesn't actually address external reality, just personal or subjective "reality" as experienced by the individual:
"instrumentalism, in the philosophy of science, the view that the value of scientific concepts and...
Motherless children have a hard time
When their mother is gone
Motherless children have a hard time
When their mother is gone
Motherless children have a very hard time
All that weepin', all that cryin'
Motherless children have a hard time

The king of Marigold was in the kitchen
Cooking breakfast for the queen
The queen was in the parlor
Playing piano for the children of the king
Mark 00:10
If her daddy's rich, take her out for a meal
If her daddy's poor, just do what you feel
Mark 00:34:
What's your name? (What's your name?)
Who's your daddy? (Who's your daddy?)
(He rich?) Is he rich like me?

Did you notice that in both songs, the singers are making similar...
I've been driving all night, my hand's wet on the wheel
There's a voice in my head, that drives me heel
It's my baby callin', says I need you here
And it's half past four and I'm shifting gear
When she's lonely and the longing gets too much
She sends a cable coming in from above
Don't need no...
Yes, but not the root problem.
In my opinion, it's conservative indoctrination media, which has created such people by the tens of millions from the pool of susceptible minds. Those people are presently unfit to live among. They will have taken their smarter neighbors who can't get out of...
Now it's time to say good night
Good night sleep tight
Now the sun turns out his light
Good night sleep tight
Dream sweet dreams for me (dream sweet)
Dream sweet dreams for you
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Good night sleep tight
Now the moon begins to shine
Good night sleep tight

Actually, it is YOU that does that as I just demonstrated. You ignored my refutation and here you are now repeating your already-corrected error. Apparently, you didn't look at it, yet here you are representing that all you get for answers is "nuh uh."
You serve, I return, you drop the ball...
You meant that it's exactly that way, right?
This is the reason I for one have long ago given up fetching answers for creationists and other faith-based thinkers, and you seem to be coming over to it as well.
There will be times when you may want to share your considered opinions to serve...
I met an old mistake walking down the street today

I didn't want to be mean about it but I
I didn't have one good word to say.
Mark 1:20
And the dictatorship begins. The first thing a dictator does is disempower checks and balances. He wants absolute power, and who will stop him? Not his simpering, slavering sycophants in Congress and SCOTUS.
Did you know that many are genetically prdisposed to dislike a host of vegetables?
"It might depend on your genes. Specifically, whether or not you’re genetically predisposed to perceive bitterness—and therefore bitter veggies. As Eric Burton said, "And God, I know I'm one"
