  1. 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...
  2. Imagine that, it has peanuts in it...
  3. 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.
  4. 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...
  5. Context, is kinda the definition of here... sorry, if here is out of context...
  6. Most of us, aren't here... Language is a bitch, for most of us...
  7. Human, the last time I checked; though I may have been drunk at the time... 😉
  8. 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...
  9. I find the notion that money can self replicate/regulate, to be an abomination.
  10. Why are you so keen to change what people are? As Markus suggests, being content with who we are is much less damaging than wearing a mask, to make other's content with who we are; not that that is even possible, unless they're content with who they are, and that kinda defeats the reason for a mask.
  11. Dark language. 🤔
  12. You just need a thesaurus, some of my sentences are just the set up to, or just jokes. I wish I was special...
  13. Imagine that... 😁 Cybermen are allergic to gold, right?
  14. That's the equals part, right?
  15. I knew I should have added 😇.
  16. Strange that, the closer we get to disaster on this planet, the more money we spend trying to get off it.
  17. IOW, down-hill is just a direction...
  18. Indeed, we have to start with the fundamentals, for instance what physics expert can repair/build a car? First, we have to understand the limitations of knowledge as it pertains to understanding the human condition.
  19. A friend of mine once said "never go to the next lesson, until you've understood the last" it's the curse of knowledge that you think there's a "deeper understanding"; there is just understanding, some do and some don't; a good teacher improves the number that do and struggle's with those that don't. A good student just struggles.
  20. For the rest of us it means, let's try to understand our fellow human's before we cast them/and us into Dante's Devine comedy.
  21. Neither, the police are quite adept at inspiring violence at an otherwise peaceful protest. Like I said, the difference is the intent on the part of the protester's and I think there's little doubt the Trump army intended violence, when they descended on the capital, because they didn't get their way in the polls; so no, the two aren't equivalent. You can't/shouldn't just dismiss a legitimate protest because some of them defended themselves when attacked. Violence is never Ok, is more of an excuse to deny legitimacy in this context; I have every sympathy with pacifism as an ideal, but then I've never been attacked for waving a banner. The difference is, they used that motivation as an excuse to be violent, rather than a reason to protest.
  22. But it is a discription of us... One imagines...
  23. In answer to the topic title; the difference is intent. BLM had banner's that explained why they're protesting... And the easiest way to discredit that explination, is to provoke violence...
