“My point was brilliant but my readers the opposite.” Lol

Derp. My bad. Yeah, I knew that. Kindly please disregard. Darned near forgot we even have a folder for Sculptures Made of Almonds: https://www.scienceforums.net/forum/110-sculptures-made-of-almonds/

Exploring what even is “the media” in todays tiktok twitter-fi instameta world could be a fun topic to explore (not this thread) if the right people came to it with the right emotional energy. /OTObservation

Wait, what? This place has folders?!? Since when? They’re the same thing. Are you familiar with Dissociative Identity Disorder, formerly known as multiple personalities? He will move closer to those abilities through practice and time. And more practice. Over more time. It sort of is just called life.

When I doo doo, think I made it number 2 /rimshot I’m in town all week, folks. Next show’s at 10. Be sure to tip your servers. False. Every. Single. Word that you EVER read is being interpreted by YOUR mind in an attempt to “divine” what the authors mean or may have meant to say. Given how needlessly hard the above exchanges with you here have been, however, I’m beginning to accept that maybe you “cannot” in fact do that, at least not terribly well sometimes. Not even when defining what it even means to “reproduce” a result, or follow the same methods, or decide upon a threshold for acceptable equivalence in starting conditions or operations?

No, because it’s a false premise. We DO understand a LOT about the “thinking of our brain.” Perhaps you meant YOU don’t or can’t understand? Which thoughts? There are many, generally with different causes. Lol. We’ve been able to do exactly that for decades. One can only hope.

Wait, what exactly do you need me to explain for you? I’m picking up on your anger, just not why it’s aimed at me.

Sure did, but that doesn’t negate the fact that you clearly have taken a slanted view of the positions of other posters here and felt justified in analogizing those with such an exaggerated and hyperbolic comparison. Getting back to my question which you evaded by asking a new question if your own: Do you believe that stance applies to or represents anyone posting here in this thread, and if so, who? If not, then why post it at all?

Affirmative Do you believe that’s a good faith summary of any single posters position here in this thread? Thanks for adding this. Searching for a path forward toward progress with you here: Is it possible you’re conflating the concept of a value judgment with the output of an arithmetical or algebraic equation?

In calling that practice objective, that’s where. The value judgment that it’s “good,” for starters.

So the aggregate of a bunch of subjective decisions and adopted principles is objective? Is there a threshold for how many people must first form a consensus before their individual subjective notions officially earn the objective moniker?

How was that NOT subjective?

Isn’t the decision about what constitutes objective itself a subjective one?

Yes

Yes Not fully False premise. Neither were built.

I thought perhaps this topic might generate cool tangents like "what does it mean to dance?" or "what is a fish?" or "is there music in the ocean?" but that flopped

Woot! Necro-trolling!!

This made me chuckle. There are scientists who are Christians, but what exactly is the area of study under the specific purview of “christian science?”

Perhaps. My hope was more that HE would clarify what HE thinks, but I do appreciate your attempts to mediate.

You know it's all about that bass, no treble... lol

Thanks. I’m just a bit shocked that exchemist refuses to engage in good faith. Wasn’t expecting that from him at all given his otherwise really great posting track record. This subject brings out such weird behaviors in lots of people.

That’s a shame. It was a beautiful short film. Try searching: PBS Nature Soul of the Ocean

Oops, what? Maybe video is unavailable outside the US??? It’s a PBS show (public broadcasting)

Separate, but related. This just aired tonight and makes the answer to my question feel far more obvious (some seriously incredible film):

Nice! Where is here?
