Re: Can you ever be certain that you are reasoning correctly?

I'm saying that the so-called "naturalistic approach" (let's just call it science, shall we?) would have no predictive power at all without A=A being absolute. ---------- this A=A thing, ? you guys do know its become a joke in other forums, don't you? people spy on you people because you s...

Re: Journey to ixtlan

Um, do you really expect that a single soul will actually read that?

no, but if one did, it would show brains enough to do so.

and if one answered with depth, it would show intelligence.
which this board seems to mostly lack.

Re: twilight zones and groupthinks

prometheuspan, I disagree that this forum needs 50 or so subforums. I cannot stand a forum that is thus divided. What is so terrible about having a thread for each topic, rather than a whole subforum? okay you disagree. got any systems theory up your sleeve for why? do you understand why it makes se...

Re: Energy

the fractional tiny amount of heating that it might cause is orders of magnitude to small to make any difference. similarly, some worry about cooling the core. The sheer size of the energy pool is so large that we are not even talking about something the size of a gnat compared to a human. If the en...

i very much agree. however, i would point out that the other side of that is what happens if such a site goes viral.
