I mean, an unstaffed warehouse is about enough space for some showers and an oven. Maybe they think by metastasizing the tumors that are the death camps, it will be harder to end their function and operation or to understand of their existence.

Yes they are. They are literal, actual objects. Right there is a possibility for how reality may be shaped and it is "scissors" shaped. And over there is a possibility that is "book" shaped. Whether these possibilities are posed to the question "which of these would I pick up first so as to...

Ah yes, off the cuff definitions given 7 years ago: the standard itself of accurate discussion. That said, you don't understand "randomness" so you don't understand what that definition even means in the first place. You absolutely refuse to do any actual study in any of the fields that would...

I would say it is in fact quite the contradiction to say that they can be so. If you would like to demonstrate two objects being in the same place at the same time in the same way but also still two different objects rather than a distinctly new sort of third object, or rotated through new...

Yes it is shaped roughly like a spikey, 4d worm-like structure with "blobs" occasionally dangling off or around it. Well, before it's shaped like a worm it's shaped kind of like a frayed rope, but much more squiggly, and it looks kind of "melty" at times In fact, I recently saw an image that...

No, it is not. My body is in many places across space. It isn't even necessarily in one distinct volume.

That's pretty much exactly how "place" is defined, yes. It is one of the most basic ideas of physics and math, and one of the ways we specifically know something is hinky and requires more investigation. It is the real corollary to "no contradictions", and the first intuition that drove us to...

Two things... Different characteristics... Same place... That's A and !A at the same place and time. Two "possibilities" with different characteristics at the same place and time are contradictory. That's a contradiction. The fact that you can't see the contradiction RIGHT THERE is your...

What, the one where I said u apologetically that I want to invent ideas for the world that allow us all to realize a future where sex pests like Epstein never develop because the humans that could develop like that are developed into something else, perhaps someone happy with AI generated cat...

Except that every compatibilist represented here, from me, to pood to Mr. Board Member to Carrier has observed that when you say "determinism" you mean "fatalism", and when we say "determinism" we mean "determinism". So when we say "determinism is compatible with free will" we say something...

Not that I recall in this thread. Rather, I think he is a pedophile enabler, though, which seems rather trite as a distinction. At best I can say he is an enabler and a pedophile cheerleader. That said, the "15 is not a child" argument, when presented with adults who fuck 15 year olds...

No, we do not. This is why I brought up the insistence on using the terms "determinism" and "fatalism", which we can distinguish, rather than "determinism" and "(pre-)determinism" which are much harder to tell apart seeing as how they are the same utterance in practice. This Does not lead to...

I explained what I meant, how to do it through education and family planning. If you want to demonstrate, with some moral principle, why solipsists who would own the world and narcissists who would burn it and fatalists who would hand it over to others are in any way positive or wonderful or...

TheBeave's behavior is not observed in isolation from the rest of TheBeave's behavior. THAT, and not any single star in that constellation, paints the picture of this support that is observed. We have a clear pedophile. We have someone clearly defending that clear pedophile at every...

And we have shown again and again how: the brain does have the power to choose its own future state. I spent some good amount of time even describing that whole process and even demonstrating for you how you can make a system for which you can trivially observe the process of it choosing its own...

I would pose that all philosophy, if valid, can be validated by reconstructing the claims using computational structures. The constructability of a philosophical structure is proof of its reality, because while science does not deal in proof, reality is self-proving... Hence why science works...

Yes, I do think that people who regularly defend awful people in the course of awful things they do, are likely awful people. The whole "15 isn't a 'child'" 'defense' is chief among these. It is "flocking together", commonly done by "birds of a feather". I have not made any secret that I wish...

No, God does not exist, depending on what definition you use for the term. Any proposed Omniscient Creator God ends up in the same bucket, is the same thing, owing to "omniscience". In fact the word "omniscience" itself or even the word "necessary" injected in the wrong part of a sentence or...

Yes, actually, at this point I AM! Instead of having concerns over the fact that it does look like the island was a place for secret and private sexual activities, some of which apparently involved a dental chair surrounded by masks of historic dictators, we are just told to think these are...
