Indeed and fear of failure leads to ever more boring games and ever more exciting, and expanding, half time spectacles; the most enjoyable game I've watched was the England v France game, probably the best game in terms of the beautiful game... I'll leave you with an SAS internal joke, apparently, "who cares, who wins."

Wouldn't that amount of energy suddenly introduced into a closed system, cause a catastrophic system failure anyway?

My apologies to everyone, especially @sethoflagos my only excuse is, my friend invited himself to mine with a bottle of JD, insisting we finish it before he leaves. My normal tipple is a locally sourced scrumpy (hard Cider) which gives me plenty of time, post tipsy (about an hour) to see the event horizon of incoherent BS approaching. With JD it's so much faster, in fact the moment of recognition is already too late. To clarify my position on the topic and hopefully resume the scheduled program's, both word's should be subject to the same rules as the judiciary, as in beyond reasonable doubt, perhaps the scientists/philosophists can come up with a more accurate word that describes certainty.

It's satirical...

Please clarify your question...

Why should I, you haven't answered mine... 😉 Is that a fact???

Why not?

That's ironic, for some...

The oral traditions also transphered stories of moral teachings and wisdoms on how to live in their society (no doubt the details of the stories change but generally in step with the culture), over uncounted generation's, Aborigines et al, before the book belivers took over. Perhaps a calliberation would be most effect at avoiding dogmatic belief that strays from it's intened moral direction. We don't need to burn the book's, they just need a regular servicing/updating with a woke editor that can explain the changes in republican...

Thanks for your advice, but problem solved +1

I'm sure Bonnie and Clyde would agree. What's that got to do with my statement, science needs ambiguous language (sarcasm), besides what level of lie is your binary cut off point set at?

Thanks, I'll give it a go and get back to you. It worked, my great has never been so full, +1...

I did say I didn't want to get all solipsistic, but it was kinda my point throughout this thread, whilst I realise solipsism is no way to understand reality, it is a fundamental position for scientific enquiry, if one doesn't personally witness a fact/truth one is reliant on a potentially flawed editor, of knowledge, to discern a fact from a fiction. I'm not suggesting that Venus doesn't exist bc I'm not currently in orbit with eyes on, all I'm saying is, be careful when you demand that a fact is immutable bc of what you're are told, by a trusted yet fallable human.

I largely agree, but what I mean is, a book is reliant on the oral part to keep it relevant, the more generations a book skips, the greater the chance of misinterpretations, and after a few more generation's it's possible that all meaningfull knowledge/wisdom is lost.

I have a Huawie p 2019 and an old Dell running windows 10, and they refuse to sync, the HiSuite downloader runs and after troubleshooting says they're incompatible. I'm not bothered about that, other than I can't transpher my mp3 file's from my computer to the phone, which is one of the primary reasons for actually having the phone... grrr Can anyone suggest a work around, for either syncing or transferring the files, I've tried Emailing my self but I can't afford to buy enough capacity.

How many facts do you actually know? Given how much knowledge we're sitting on, can you list more than 10? I don't want to get all solipsistic, but this is a fundamental question of science/philosophy and is ill served by semantics.

There's a reason it's called a pyramid of understanding, a teacher that doesn't know how to transition between the levels, isn't a very good teacher; when I was a 7 year old child my teacher told me there's no such word as can't, when I was nine I'd learned enough to push back on that fallacy...😘

OK, so what's your point?

If history has anything to say, this is ironical since drift in meaning is inevitable once fixed, in a generation or two we don't have the relative context in order to glean actual meaning, even a roseta stone (the key) only goes so far in deciphering the code; maybe the writer had a literal lisp or did the stone carver stammer... 😉

That's been my attitude towards book's and the transfer of understanding, re, our current knowledge, I've always contended that a transfer of understanding between generations is more effective, orally, than any sort of text based transfer.

Again, it's just a guess, there is no value if it's guess doesn't please you and it's all about the "revenue"; listen to "Rage Against the Machine - Wake up" and watch the associated movie, everything is explained... 😉 If we had any sense, we'd ignore the difficulties of scaling and throw as much money at it as it takes, it'll still be a pittance compared to 'defence' spending, but imagine the effectiveness of an army of sociopath's correctly educated, not to mention lazy arseholes like me, happy to sit on my arse all day and just think about stuff... Yet none of them seems to have taught you to consider the possibility that you might be wrong? Or did you get 100% of your answer's correct, to every question asked by every teacher? Are you "that guy?" Or are you prepared to admit to being a fallable human? Some of your brethren, have done some pretty fucked up shit, bc they were in love with their AI; should we consider an intervention?

Isn't that called a proof?

TBH I think AGI is another fusion reactor, perpetually 20 years away/out of reach, and yes a seperate discussion; I think 'viral' is an apt word in this case, as in, some of us are naturally immune. There is no universal teaching system, I can't even memories my favourite limerick, but I have other skills.... Exactly, the more likely they can predict what you desire, and if what you desire is validation; there's a word for that, but it's German, "schadenfreude"...

Indeed, but you can't say it's true or a fact, that those people believed that, they may have called it two different name's, not bc they didn't know the difference but bc it represents two different times of day, as in sunrise and sunset, we don't believe there's two different sun's.

Exactly, truth and fact are both based on a believe in an honest editor/teacher, one hopes; anything human is falable...
