    Gender Roles

    You are not the class representative you imagine. You are denying the womanhood of quite a number of women, and using your claim that others are "meaningfully different" from you to shut down criticism, when this difference is itself made up by you.

    Boeing Shares Plunge and Recover Post Plane Crash

    The contract in theory was simple: send us the software that the aircraft is to be deployed with, built with simulation hooks, as a comprehensive package. It's not that hard of an ask, all things told. Like, how hard is it to put together the list of signed software parts from a package...

    Butker Speech

    I still find it quite telling that they never actually attempted to pin the blame where it actually belonged: on those who despoiled the sanctity of the temple with greed, and took issue at being called out for it for a day.

    Are there really infinite transcendental numbers?

    Maybe it wasn't you? I made a discussion about numbers "not available math being questionable in their existence in reality, to which you linked me discussion on Grothendiek universes and the discussion of inaccessible cardinals. It was a brief exchange which I read more about, and which led me...

    Butker Speech

    Wow, that's a lot of words to end with "You should ask people on this forum who have young kids if you want answers on that." It's almost like you're prevaricating answering the question as to why you think anal sex is somehow more inappropriate, seeing as you ended your post claiming it wasn't...

    Are you saying his name is missing a [tfuc]? (Not that there's anything wrong with that...)

    Butker Speech

    I'm being dead serious here BTW. Go ahead. Say it out loud for the class why you single out anal sex. Not to mention Matthew 19:12 seems to indicate not having kids is just fine, and that it's not actually God's will for anyone to reproduce.

    What does anal sex have that makes it any different from sex in general that makes it particularly more inappropriate to bring up in front of kids?

    Testing Philosophy

    I think largely the advancement of philosophy is to ever move things more solidly under the domain of math from other places. At first, it was "how do we know anything" and then it was "this logic thing seems to work" and then "well, what are the limits and applications for logic; what...

    Boeing Shares Plunge and Recover Post Plane Crash

    Oh, that's the funny part: they did use the GHS RTOS for the flight control logic in particular. The reason they went with VXWorks for the core rehost was, AFAICT, owing entirely to the fact that they started in VXWorks because the avionics industry has a boner for VXWorks and no other reason...

    Butker Speech

    It always struck me as disingenuous to discuss the identity of the people who killed Jesus. The people who killed Jesus were "those who were invested religious profiteering". Some were Jews, some were Romans. Jesus was followed by both Jews and gentiles, and killed by both as well, of the...

    Are there really infinite transcendental numbers?

    This is why I bring up "measured" numbers, and "access of numbers through natural phenomena". https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inaccessible_cardinal See also Grothendieck universes.

    The Race For 2024

    Like, they want to pretend that all the reasons for an extremely polar view of someone are invalidated by the polarity of the view. Like, oftentimes when someone says something about someone else's mother being fat, it's just due to bias against the person... But sometimes the other person's...

    Columbia University is colluding with the far-right in its attack on students

    I will take issue at that; certainly "asymmetric rejections of the generalized goals of others" exists. Fairly universally we view unilateral violation of consent as something "evil", when approached from a direction of ethical philosophy (or at least most of us), and this does create "sides"...

    According to Robert Sapolsky, human free will does not exist

    An action's production by a deterministic process doesn't provide any challenge at all to responsibility, nor does deterministic manipulation by another agent. The key here is in your erroneous interpretation of the concept of "challenge" here. Deterministic manipulation does not "challenge"...

    The Morality of Atheism

    People did and still do find "value" in flat earth and adrenochrome conspiracy videos on YouTube. I don't think that humans "finding value" in something is actually a good measure of what HAS some "true" value... Unless you mean "value as an explicit example of unhinged and otherwise valueless...

    Boeing Shares Plunge and Recover Post Plane Crash

    What I'm seeing here is significant admission that the expenses in simulator development (and the expenses in development of aircraft software that they did not foot properly) were directly related to my experiences, which were about 5-8 years ago. Note that one of my principal complaints here...

    Columbia University is colluding with the far-right in its attack on students

    From the evidence of history and military action in general, there is a clear distinction here in that the numbers we see coming out of the events, and the frequency of "collateral damage" here is much higher than other such situations. It's implausible, given how far the collateral damage is...
