I'm not sure you understand, what I wrote. 😉

I look forward to challenging your beliefs.

Why do men like lesbians so much?
No, lesbians are a much better excuse when explaining, to their mates at the bar, why they laughed at their chat up attempt...

Fractal Topology of Spacetime (speculation)
I think the fundamental problem with FTS is, it's not using the correct language to describe the physics/reality; I know this to be true bc I can understand it.

Fractal Topology of Spacetime (speculation)
Then we're back to 'local', and there's a definite minimum size of 'local' as described by Max Planck.

brain just wants to be happy, what to do in life, try to be happy? Boring isn't it?
I see contentment as a base state, from which we safely process the emotion.

Is it ethically bad to use a large amount of (recycled) plastic on your land?
Let's hope bacteria catch on to the yummy taste...

Fractal Topology of Spacetime (speculation)
How can you know? Since we don't know the size of space... Or to put it another way, I'm at the centre of the universe, as is every 'me' part of the universe; it seems to me that even the observable universe could be seen as a speck, in that context.

Indeed, boring old morality verses what I want, no contest, I'll happily kill my descendents; it's virtually ethical... 🙄

I don't know, but I do know what it's like to be hungry...

It can be possible feel other senses without being in the area of its senses?
most of the eroginous zone's, aren't genital... Don't make me break out the "Pulp fiction" debate... 😉

Today, I learned that I'm dislexit...

Maybe, we just replace the word happy with the word content...

Why god would want us to be happy?
Seems to me, it's more an example of meaning being taken out of context, bc we can't comprehend/understand the culture from which the god/wisdom is born.
-
Why god would want us to be happy?
Fair point.

Why god would want us to be happy?
It wasn't my claim, are you moving the goalposts? I'm not a theologian, I have no idea; my point isn't what a deity might look like to <insert ism>. In the context of this thread, and as an atheist, it's not god that wants us to be happy; it's a human, that thought it was a good idea to be nice to people, even when they're being arseholes. (edit. not a cryptic accusation of anyone) You're welcome...
-
Why god would want us to be happy?
Nor is history, but the patterns do match... If you're an atheist, you don't believe in god, therefore anything the bible said was not written by, or directly influenced by god. When did I say that? I'm just pointing out that a good argument doesn't include a mythical being...

How to kill a small animal to shorten its suffering?
It's a moral dilemma, but good animal husbandry includes an empathic connection to the animal and a philosophical understanding of the nature of death... And that's the fundamental difference, I have no understaning of a strange animals suffering or life goals...
-
Why god would want us to be happy?
My point is, any argument from an atheist that uses god, is a logical fallacy. What about it? Nope.
-
Why god would want us to be happy?
Seems more like the meaning is lost, as no god has ever directly written a word, citation needed; it seems to me that a metaphor needs a relative context more than it needs a god.

How to kill a small animal to shorten its suffering?
If the cat was a human, I'd hope you'd call an ambulance and thus transfer your decision to an expert, rather than commit murder; ethically it's dodgy ground, in terms of a cat... 😉

The Bird Brain of Alcatraz
Before I get started on the stupidity of incarceration, what is the political point you want to make?

Tariffs inadvertently reduce carbon footprint?

Fractal Topology of Spacetime (speculation)
Indeed, that was my thought, at some point a fractal has to stop in the physical world...

Tariffs inadvertently reduce carbon footprint?
If Trump is right, it's by accident. Just bc the markets 'sigh' in relief when it's not as bad as it imagined, doesn't mean it wouldn't be better off without such an idiotic idea/deal. Also, didn't the Isreali Palastinian conflict start after his first term?
