My apologies to all, this is the last post I remember; since my friend turned up with a box of Doom bar and a bottle of JD. That reminds me of an interview with Carl Sagan. And for me, the first 8 mins of this Richard Feynman lecture. And the question why at 15ish min.

But maybe, your the one that saves me... Don't look back in anger, I heard you say...

Killing in the name of?

Arbitrary, is just another way to explain why we don't understand...

The point I'm trying to make (badly) is, first we have to understand the simple explanation, before we delve into the minutiae of the complications; so my argument is, the further science delves the farther it gets from the edge of the razor. So if only a few can delve so deep, modern science is by definition blunting the edge of understanding, for the rest of us and so promote the very member's you seek to disavow. But then I never suggested it is always reliable, An elegant answer, is more pleasing; it doesn't have to be correct to inspire understanding.

At least one...

Indeed...

You seem to be arguing against your premise in the OP, since you placed the question in the "general philosophy" forum. Scientifically, the razor is almost always valid, because it can be reduced to a binary question; that's seldom true in life...

Trap and confine, are two very different words.

No, I'm replying philosophically; I understand Archemedes principle - I don't understand why it's incorrect...

I thought I had...

You don't seem to understand that the explanation is, different wavelengths of the same field is at play, in the answer...

The lowest common denominator would suggest a hot air balloon, no wonder the lunar landing's were debunked...

I think the OP has a point though, perhaps not when applied to science but philosophically speaking; the more complicated our world becomes, the more we resort to a simple explanation i.e. the elite's are trying to make it complicated. And that blunts our/most people's understanding. I think the philosophy behind the intention/knife edge applies to anyone who wants to actually understand this world/universe; and how many of us actually want's that, rather than the simplest explaination as to why I shouldn't even try?

If I had a super-power, "lucky me" would be at the top of the list...

The problem is, not all of us are contributing to life, whatever the hours we work. You may as well ask, how does a token of food fill our bellies, better than food? If all the billionaire's, spent their money on feeding people, rather than filling their ego's; some of us may live another day...

Imagine that, it has peanuts in it...

Lunchtime. doubly so...

It's been discussed many time's, I once asked Swansont why the heat death of the universe wouldn't result in a universal BEC; if I remember correctly, density was, at least, part of the answer.

Most people fear, what they've been taught to fear; the shocking part is, it's incredibly easy to teach; all you need is a trusted adult. And no means to question them...

Context, is kinda the definition of here... sorry, if here is out of context...

Most of us, aren't here... Language is a bitch, for most of us...

Human, the last time I checked; though I may have been drunk at the time... 😉

Yet they all do it, "google v nation state's" is like asking "how do we stop ourselves?". And I've got a fucking pension, that I'm currently trying to liquidate...

I find the notion that money can self replicate/regulate, to be an abomination.
