Re: Brit v. Japan

I am going to go with the same logic Goodspeed uses to state that rushes are bad (or should be, in a balanced environment), and say that Japan should lose way more than they currently are. You know Japan is effortlessly shrining like crazy and building pillarless wall segments? You are preparing pr...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_Diagrams One of the best books I have ever read. Sorry for hijacking, but you did say "books in general" and I love to share Stephen Baxter's work with people. looks interesting. i have too much to read this summer but i will probably get that for next...

Re: anyone read these logic books?

Even if determinism was true, it wouldn't guarantee the existence of exceptionless natural laws, or the possibility of prediction/explanation in the sciences, at least under a ded...

Re: Objectivity does not exist.

i've got no idea what your point is. saying "i do not claim absolute knowledge" doesn't mean anything, and there are things we have knowledge of. saying "i claim no knowledge" doesn't stop "there are facts and we can know some of them" being true. mixing yellow and blue...

Re: Objectivity does not exist.

i haven't thought about it but i probably agree that our appreciation of things (factual or otherwise) may be inherently subjective, but the OP disputed that facts exist at all, which is nonsense. actually the incoherence of the OP is that the first point refers to facts (there is nothing factually ...

Re: Reducing Workday hours

Its obvious that not all can at the same time. Its possible that all have a chance, but i doubt even youd argue that chance is higher than that of a person with "fake privilige", right? If you inherit a million dollars, a network of businesspeople and a company, sure its easier to become ...

Re: Reducing Workday hours

i know quantum physics is more the setting of the foregoing discussion about determinism than free will, but let's be real, quantum physics is so beyond the realm of any of our understanding as laypeople that it's a somewhat pointless topic to try and engage with, so i'll discuss determinism in the ...
