    The Economist endorses Kamala Harris

    And Trump had to pay some hefty fines, lost the licence to do business in New York, has to pay millions in court costs for the cases he's still being prosecuted for, and they are not going to get him money. If anything, he lost more money in the last three years. He is totally dependent on...

    Can we talk about election fraud?

    250 years ago, only male, white landowners could vote. The system has been changed multiple times, mostly to make it more democratic. It still has some faults, like Gerrymandering and voter suppression, but over all it has worked for the last 50 years. The problem isn't that progressives want to...

    Name Calling Doesn’t Work

    If it doesn't work, then why do Republicans not lose every election? They are the OG trash talkers, not only Trump - and they are successful with it. @9-10ths_Penguin has perfectly analysed why that is. It's in German, but you don't have to understand what Mai is saying, just look at the...

    Who can fathom the infinite?

    We don't know whether the universe is infinite, we can only ever see a finite part of it. The same goes for black holes. We can't see inside them where, mathematically, may be an infinitely dense singularity.

    Who can fathom the infinite?

    The Mandelbrot set is a wonderful example of complexity arising out of a simple construction mechanism. (For those who think that complexity need a complex maker.) It is also an example of infinity - in mathematics. There is no such structure in reality.

    Halloween Party: Crowd Interpreted Tarot Thread

    I'm not drunk, yet. It's 8:20 am here, and I have to drive to get cat food. But there's already a bottle of wine when I'm back.

    Halloween Party: Crowd Interpreted Tarot Thread

    I like your interpretations. It's like the "horrorskop".

    Who can fathom the infinite?

    Things that are not in evidence are at best unknown. And we can at least say that there is no thing known that is infinite. There isn't even a hint of it, and most infinities can be excluded by logical application of known laws of nature.

    Halloween Party: Crowd Interpreted Tarot Thread

    That's totally not what I am (I'm swords all over) - but maybe it's what I should be (a bit more like).

    Kind of depressed

    Belief in reincarnation, love of health, nature and reading, not strongly connected to a religion, and you work in a library. You may be a witch. When you're at the library, monitor the esoteric section and see who's picking books from there. Start a conversation. You may find your coven.

    Happy Halloween. Your favorite spooky/scary movie or book

    Spooky and horror isn't my genre, but this one is an often overlooked masterpiece and I like it:

    Halloween Party: Crowd Interpreted Tarot Thread

    I like it, too, it has a strong symbolism and an excellent colour scheme. It is more egalitarian than e.g. the Rider-Waite by swapping out the page for the princess. But many people wouldn't go near it. It seems to scare them.

    Parenting license

    Second thought: This is a bit hypothetical and futuristic, but I have a point. Imagine you live on a space station or a generation ship en route to another solar system. Space is limited, air, water, food is limited and calculated for exactly the crew number that's there. Do you think that the...

    Parenting license

    First thought: The EU is one of the best places on Earth to have children. It could be better, but we have the best existing child care (on a country base, not EU), with lots of social security, free healthcare, free and fairly good education, etc.

    Parenting license

    If letting your children die is abuse, then, yes, child abuse is allowed in the US. (Religious rights of the parents trump the right to live of the children. If parents believe in faith healing and refuse medical treatment of their children, CPS can't take away the children.)

    Entertainment/media devoid of violence?

    A travelogue? As a kid, I read a lot about the discovery of the Earth, Vasco da Gama, Magellan, Scott, etc. A biography? Especially those of famous scientists. Curiosity can also be a big driver.

    Who can fathom the infinite?

    You haven't read (or understood) my last post. The difference between us is not S vs N (or I/E, or P/J). I'm an INTJ on the MBTI. As I said, you feel where I think.

    Presidential Vote

    If Trump wins, will there be elections in four years or will he be a fascist dictator?

    Hitler also didn't take over Germany in 4 years. And he planned to become a dictator from the beginning. Trump may have not. He is forced to - if he doesn't want to go to prison.

    Who can fathom the infinite?

    And of all the people who had "experiences" with ghosts, most of them will tell you that ghosts are real. Yes, not everybody sees the world the same. I just argue that my view is more consistent and more useful. We agree that there is a difference between concrete and abstract things, why not...
