My preferred theory is "coconut crabs".

So, I guess the biggest question to the whole discussion is the central arc: Did a guy throw a tantrum at a temple over commercialization of religion and get executed for it because his friend turned him in? I think that's the real core here; the temple incident. I think the real question...

For some reason though, I just haven't been able to really hang on to either linear algebra or calculus? Finding derivatives and integrals is just a blank in my head and I have never really grasped what I need to know to understand why derivatives and integrals. I know the tangent line to a...

I don't suppose you have the time to try and find a more easily expressed identity here? I'm not even looking to prove any of the identities I find. Most are "intuitive" insofar as I just played around with sliders in Desmos. I haven't even really nailed down what f(K) is in d(x)f(K) =...

So, I did a bunch more experimentation last night, probably getting close to crazy-me levels of interest which might imply it's time to shelve it again until next spring. Between last night and this morning I discovered the ability to find an integer equivalence. d\left(x\right)\...

Also, I might note, moral desert responsibility is a shifted goalpost. The compatibilist doesn't discuss, nor need to discuss, moral desert responsibility in defense of compatibilism. In fact, moral desert responsibility only starts far later in a discussion about as far removed from basic...

If things are locally real, as Superdeterminism wages, this is false. The limit of the speed of change, the speed of light, demands that the environment cannot force something to be anything else than what it is before it gets a chance to be that which it is, as it is, exerting its own...

Send enough people to keep them from getting kidnapped/killed and/or accept the kidnappings or killings when they happen because they are few and the unfortunate consequence of the ongoing horror that has happened until now.

Or would have gotten a lot of them just there. The thing is, not enough people exist in Isreal who don't want the Palestinians dead.

Guy just wanted seriously to know whether I would do shit that annoys them. They're fully within their right to ignore me, and I have no problem with that. It's one of the best reasons I could see to do it, and while it makes me little sad it's done in peace, I think, at this point. I do talk...

In fact, I think your response might use "person" a little freely. There might be an issue here in that a jury of Trump's peers are... Well, just saying that "peer" requirement might be hard since I do NOT count him as a peer of any kind. He is human shaped trash. To be a peer to that might...

Tom, with all due respect, Israelis could have easily sent in peacekeeping forces and engineers all this time to build and protect schools and hospitals until Hamas is seen as the violent gang they are and gets pushed out. It would have put the peacekeeping forces at risk of bricks, and hate...

A recent scientific study has indicated that conservatives tend to crave the boot. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/conservative-and-liberal-brains-might-have-some-real-differences/ I will note my recent introduction to my paternal family has strongly supported this with caveats...

The one thing Jesus had to say about anything culturally analogous to gender transition was Matthew 19:12, in which he said "eunuchs are a thing, let eunuchs be as they are, maybe consider becoming one yourself." Jesus preached love for the refugee, acceptance of the foreigner, generosity to...

Right, and definitions are debated in a specific way: by actually finding contradictions within the presented definitions. Definitions are not themselves to be considered "flawed" unless they involve contradiction against other definitions. YOU include a modal fallacy in your definitions that...

Well, I think I recall something about normal distributions and a relationship to the Tanh function, particularly in that the Heaviside step function's Fourier Transform is a normal distribution? This is based on a VERY fast look through literature. That thing I was playing with a couple years...

I would expect a nontrivial number of failures, and a number of returns promptly to Russian soil. What they do there or on the way is anyone's guess.

No, the accusation is that you believe evidence for God exists. Post 281. Elixir just posted it.

Like a child that has made a mess and is being told by an adult because the child needs to learn to just admit when they fuck up and move forward. It was, I believe, quoted or even said as one of the last posts of a page, and I was honestly flabbergasted. I haven't gone looking for it since...

Well, my point is that people if people want to talk about gods, people should be clear about what they are talking about about. I personally think it's stupid to argue about things that can't exist, for which existence can't happen even as an ideal. We are on page 15 of this topic and I think...
