mitch70 said : @write4u Thank you, fine sir

w4u I don’t blame people here for how they view me (yourself included), but instead of assuming the intents of others, I think this forum will do well with a little more consideration of other’s perspectives without the assumption of them being morally bankrupt (like myself).

I hear you and in gener…[Read more]

And what claims are they @lausten?  Nobody has substantiated any claim about nuclear risk.  Nobody.  The boredom you project is inevitable.

And @write4u, the full solar cycle is virtuous is it?  Why are Germany’s emissions up by a quarter again?

@write4u Thank you, fine sir

I am not here to educate you or to preach to you. If you want to do a debate about a certain issue then do a proper challenge. If you want to consider it trash talk, go right ahead. Have you ever trash talked our President Trump or talked about the disinfectants without doing any research?

Go to Fox News and they have an interview with…[Read more]

How fickle are the sport fans? A sport’s person can be the undisputed world champion for years and 1 day that person does not feel “right” he or she is branded and ridiculed by people who feel cheated because their expectations were not satisfied.

Apparently so. I don’t understand how people turn on her so easily, expecting her t…[Read more]

Au contraire @write4u, but reduction of intentionality to QM is an unnecessary, imparsimonious (a word that should exist) step too far.  Is greater complexity, not less, going down and coming back up.  I can’t stand the ignorance of irreducible complexity, because I was guilty of it and worse for decades.  But the emergence of intentionality is in…[Read more]

@write4u, I always go with the parsimonious until it’s time for a paradigm shift.  Quantum woo was proposed decades ago.

@lausten, the only movie referred to is 2010, which has that awesome scene, moves me every time I recall it, where Dave manifests to Hal who has just laid down his life for the lying cowardly humans, and tells Hal something’s…[Read more]

@write4u, Anil Seth, worth every second.  Short and sweet and hopeful.  Thank you.  Glad you like David.

@mriana, superb all round, thanks again.  John Shelby was one of my bêtes noires, like Richard.  No more.  Beautiful.  The WCG was cunning in that there were holidays.  Especially the massively indulgent Feast of Tabernacles.  Even my three…[Read more]

@lausten: superpositioning, I use it metaphorically.  The Cheshire Schrödinger God is such a usage.  God exists and does not, grounds being and does not.  And of course that is not a balanced dichotomy.  There is no rational reason whatsoever to posit that He does.  It’s a matter of desire, disposition.  A well that can run dry as you have found.…[Read more]

Aye @mriana. I brainwashed myself in to the chiliast cult of Armstrongism from age 15 as a shallow, wee-wee end of the pool bright, lower middle class English child of The Bomb. The cult did the astounding thing of deconstructing itself 25 years later. Not far enough for our rich tastes obviously. 25 years on my deconstruction continues. Only…

Thank you everyone.

I’ve been deluded all my life @lausten, it’s human after all.  Who doesn’t believe things that aren’t true?  Reason is… the slave of the passions after all.  But I was give strong delusion for 50 odd years (very odd…), although it was edited along the way and went in to free fall 5 ago.  I’ve documented the trajectory to…[Read more]

@write4u part of humanism is science and no I did not say that which you quoted as me saying. Mikeyohe said it.

Auchhh, I am so sorry for not realizing you were quoting that. I must admit that puzzled me. Thanks for the correction!

I hope that my missive about “secular morals” was sound reasoning?

@write4u part of humanism is science and no I did not say that which you quoted as me saying. Mikeyohe said it.

Again, I agree @write4u. The North believed all humans should be free, while the South wanted to enslave anyone not a male WASP. Ok so I’m stretching a bit, but not by much because they did try to enslave Native Americans too.

Though I think W4u wins the gotcha award in this little exchange:

No, why don’t you walk into a pharmacy and get your vaccination.

@mitch70

only white people can be racist.

That’s not true. There are Black people who are racist against white people. Malcolm X wasn’t exactly white people friendly.

Slaves were happy people is the new motto.

Um… no they weren’t. Why do you think there was an underground railroad and slaves running away all the time? No human…[Read more]

Your sub-conscious brain. The process is called Homeostasis.  Consider that when your brain is under anaesthesia, your body is just an object, but it still maintains homeostasis.

Exactly, “but it still maintains homeostasis”  because your body is NOT just an object.  My point precisely.

You make sub-conscious sound like an on off swi…[Read more]

Congratulations for your English, @write4u

@write4u

Mriana, get rid of this human virus. It is infecting the entire forum Center For Inquiry and what it stands for.

I would love to get rid of him. First I have to give him a warning and in this case it would be for trolling, because we don’t have a rule against Fundamgelical evangelizing. After that, I have give him 2 more warnings,…[Read more]

@write4u He must think this is Star Wars.
