How do you know what the truth is (people lie)? Some people know what the truth is but don't want to admit it, even to themselves, because it's something they don't want face.

Yin and Yang

Do you?

Who would have thought that such hilarity would be played out in the real world?

The chemistry of being called a fucking moron perhaps.... wait for laughtiming (oh shit).

God damn it, puppy, I thought you had a point but not this BS, now I feel foolish. OK back to the topic, it may have rational arguments but they can never be definitive. I think it's more likely they use the wager to defend a position they believe but can't prove, and my point is there's nothing inherently wrong with that, for instance, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle believed in fairies yet he's still celebrated.

In what universe?

I bow to your greater knowledge, but there's always a but. https://quotational.com/author/sheldon-cooper/

Guilty (my bad), for is read maybe.

My only point is, it's possibly not entirely correct because we need something we can't see/observe (or understand why we can't see/observe) to explain it in full, all observations so far say it's correct, but?

My mistake, I miss-read your post. I have no doubt, hence my question. How many of them would consider themselves bad people? 1 to 5%, if memory serves, of the population is a sociopath/psychopath, the rest of us do, as you suggest reflect our upbringing, not our default state.

I'm sorry I retract my +1, I missed this bit, it's a non-sequitur, humans invented language but not because of an alteration. The only thing it can possibly alter, either way, is society. Our current models that predict dark energy is only rationally consistent if we believe in the current model, which is incorrect.

It's more than just this, we're an intelligent a species, which ultimately gets in the way of a binary explanation, yin and yang just present the extremes of human nature (the nuance lies somewhere between), we need to recognise it but not be guided by it.

Good post +1. Why do both sides get so worked up about a deity rather than the path they choose to follow? A scientific/academic path is no less difficult and no less valuable, than the high path of humanity.

Rare? WTF, it happens every single time.

Are you?

We can but hope.

I'm struggling to see a win for the Donald, in any real sense, NK is never going to completely capitulate; as fish face in star wars said "It's a trap" and the Don instantly fell headlong, despite the clever buggers shouting NOOOO, WTF have you done?

Some of us can and some of us can't, just do what you can and be content with that.

History shows their demise is built in, blessed are those who believe without seeing; nothing to do with god BTW. People are good people by default they just need a reason to have faith, in people.

Well, for example, you buy the machinery needed to fulfill the contract (and countless others) if only you get paid in full. My point is when it's your own business you don't get paid by the hour, there is a level of trust inherent in the contract; too small and the customer can't pay, too big and the customer doesn't have to pay. Success is finding the balance.

Customers, but before you ask getting paid is the number one thing in its demise.

My business was landscaping/general building and the majority of my customers came from a retailer that sold garden buildings and conservatories. The same customers often wanted more work doing or had friends that did. The problems came from large jobs/contracts and how to structure the payment.

You have to know who your customers are, how to get more and how to get paid.

Don't worry John, given your political views, you'd probably get in; although It may have a few questions about why you're so determined to piss on their parade.
