Many things, but how this may be related or relevant to my post is unclear to the point of mud

My thoughts from 6 years ago are largely unchanged: https://www.scienceforums.net/topic/95589-do-you-believe-the-death-penalty-is-unethical/#comments

I suppose that depends on how much neuroscience is being held back by lack of access / funding for currently available equipment.

Exactly. That’s pretty much how language and culture has evolved forever. Who’s redefining words, now? 🙄 Mostly because none of us feels your point has any merit or is even worth discussing, but again... just to answer it head on: Late 16th century. https://www.lexico.com/en/definition/parrhesia

Given your current lack of even basic knowledge, you simply shouldn’t even try.

Quite the opposite really: https://ejusa.org/resource/wasteful-inefficient/ It is, and we have lots of evidence in support of this. https://www.nber.org/reporter/2020number1/benefits-rehabilitative-incarceration

Interesting link with useful info, but for me misses the point of the thread a bit. They (once using the menu to find the Economy section) speak of growing national debts and borrowing at low interest rates and inequality and migration crises worsened by climate change, and all of those issues are very real and very important, but they’re also very 10-30 years away. In terms of prepping now for impending doom, the economy this year and next year depends almost entirely on our ability to get the whole planet vaccinated from covid. If we can’t overcome evangelical and white male Republican opposition to vaccines in the US, and if we can’t get vaccines to the over 50 countries who still haven’t delivered even a single jab, or to areas like Brazil who have leaders still brazenly calling the pandemic a hoax perpetrated by liberal media elites and “the Jews,” then THAT is what will cause the economy to tank in the next 3-6 quarters (and that disinformation is being actively fed into us via state actors).

I disagree with your nonsequitur conclusion that this is “the only legitimate metric,” but just to answer your question directly: It may surely have come earlier in previous societies without writing or records available to us in our modern age, but first currently known recorded use suggests the idea came from Athens around 400 BC. During that time it is was described using the term parrhesia. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parrhesia

Those are both solid films that I enjoyed a lot. Most locals here seem to have been stocking up on ammo and tools allow self reload of shells... militias seem to be more common than I’d like.

I don’t believe this is entirely true in context of premeditated crimes, but may be in context of crimes of passion.

Much of the instability is already priced into the market anyway. The traders tend to make money on both the upside and the downside and it’s only massive unanticipated system shocks that cause huge crashes.

Economists have successfully predicted 10 of the last 4 market crashes

It really depends on context. Online many of us have been openly critical for tens of years now, whereas IRL it’s sometimes better to just keep quiet. For example, we’ve got some great neighbors, our kids play, and we enjoy their company, but they’re pretty religious. We just don’t talk about it, and that’s okay. People believe all kinds of silliness (like Donald Trump was the best president ever). We need to find ways to continue forward regardless.

Beyond this, it gets rather more complicated when we consider them indoctrinating their children or legislating and putting laws in place motivated by said beliefs. Some might consider it “parenting” and instilling values, while others might see it as a form of abuse and harmful to our collective future.

Perhaps there is research in this space. I'm not entirely sure, but that's not why I answered the way I did. Your questions have logical answers. Density will tend to vary (even if only slightly) between Volume A and Volume B. Likewise with mass... extract two equally sized volumes of clay and check their mass, you will see variance (due to the lack of purity in the samples). Similar with electrostatic force... will be pretty close and similar, but depends entirely on the sample(s) being measured.

Gees dude. You really like her. We get it.

Yes Yes Unknown, but likely yes.

If a fresher version is desired, simply review the most current version: https://www.scienceforums.net/guidelines/

Not from my news feeds. I reckon you must follow different sources.

Lol. No bounds...

That’s good enough to convince me!

What does this have to do with US response to humanitarian crises in China and elsewhere? You perhaps saw your many claims demonstrated to be false and so chose instead to Gish Gallop?

Which makes YOU the predator. Heck of a logical corner you’ve just painted yourself into. Absurdity ensues...
