The "citizens" you think are the least employable people in the country.

So little confidence in the talents of your own people.

Yeah, fuck those young people for wanting to own homes and retirement accounts! Selfish little chits, doesn't anyone think of the greater good anymore?

Or economists. Or letters.

Oddly encouraging. Losing his self-confidence?

The longer you talk to a "classical liberal", the less liberal their views turn out to actually be. Ever notice that?

Is there... actually some part of America where people don't know what a fucking fist bump means? How out of touch can a person possibly be?

True. If they try put it off til October, both of them will be down with pneumonia.

They weren't. I've been wondering whether the commercial slots have something to do with it. If a media company is doing the planning, the answer is more likely to be money related than politics related.

True. I went to Catholic schooling as well, the ten commandments were not heavily emphasized. The seven deadly sins, on the other hand...

Trying to figure out how the decalaogue constitutes ten commandments as such is opening up a very ancient can of worms.

If the court system were to allow this law to be enacted, these states would join them in crafting simillar requirements: https://www.guttmacher.org/2023/01/six-months-post-roe-24-us-states-have-banned-abortion-or-are-likely-do-so-roundup

That's not how science works. It doesn't "constrain" anything. It simply observes, synthesizes, analyzes, and predicts "what does happen", noting its own successes and failures in doing so to refine the models with which we make our predictions. The "law" in scientific law is a metaphor, not the...

No one says that. And scientists for our part do not object to "compatibilists" until or unless they start to abandon the scientific method in favor of theology. We may think them rather silly, but I've got no problem with people who want to say "free will" and mean a deterministic universe. I...

It is. I'm not sure what action can be taken, though. Trump will probably win in November. If he doesn't, he or someone very much like him will win in four year's time. Either way, I'm preparing for the fights to come. As long as heavily racialized Christian theocracy is winning elections for...

What would make this interaction look measurably different, in a fully deterministic world? How might we test whether we live in a deterministic universe? No one is arguing that a rockfall can happen without the rock, only that with sufficient information, rockfalls can be predicted.

Then explain it. Huffing out is not a rational argument. I have answered every question that you have put to me, why not extend the same favor?

You've said a bunch of obfuscating nonsense, is what you've said. Try to think rationally: don't just tell me why you feel it is wrong, tell me why is it wrong to observe that the conditions which produced a piece of music must logically have preceded it? Don't tell me what you (inaccurately)...

Indeed. As it was. Jazz compositions are not produced ex nihilo. You wouldn't even be able to recognize it as "jazz", if it did not proceed sequentially from previous compositions and interpretations, that were also described as "jazz". Do you know why no one can tell you who composed the first...
