it seems nuance is lost on you...

What if one doesn't care?

Most of us will suffer, if we have a soul and nature mostly confirms that; but what if we don't possess that genome, how would god punish us?

Try harder...

Not to my knowledge, you're going to have to explain it 'here', can you do that? Yet you chose too, why? Does a psychopath have a soul, in your world?

I think it's a limit of what's observable/understandable, for instance, we can understand how a dog can smell, but not what it looks like for the dog.

Go on then, give us the 'proof' of it's actual physical existence; Rene Descartes tried but it didn't end in success. I'm a believer in concept of the soul, in certain contexts, but that doesn't make a soul real outside of my brain. You seem to be confusing yourself, or you're being deliberately obtuse, science, in the context of this post, is context free. 😉

Indeed...

One day, they'll learn to assimilate and then we'll be buggered...

What book is worth burning?

Oh, this again... I know my reality is absolutely limited to me; but others are watching... 😉

I'm not sure how this argues my paradox observation. A universe full of waves, sound or otherwise, is automatically bounded by the observer; which is why I definitely won that race... 😉 It's a black swan event

It's an annual tradition, it came round quick this year...

Why? I'm fairly sure I won that race, please explain why I didn't?

Limits, of understanding... Unless you believe you could win a race against an a faster human, just by thinking about it. 😉

Aren't you just misunderstanding Zenos paradox?

I'm refering to my intial post on this tangent, and on this topic, debate can only be usefull, in terms of understanding, if emotion is not part of the discussion. When it is, our only chance of effective communication and therefor understanding, at least of their position and motivation, is to not be an enemy and just chat. Like I said, we basically agree but WTF does look like an emotional responce.

Wasn't it Douglas that also said something like "if anyone were to discover the truth of the universe, it would instantly change" and "that's already happened". No checking into the future allowed.

No, there's at least three, if we include emotions; don't tell me scientist's never miss a valid point bc there angry with their interlocutor. Even a fanatic is capable of reasoned thought... LOL 😂 Look up secular...

Seems arrogant to me...

Not at all, I'm just pointing out that there's more than one path to disseminate information, even if you don't agree.

From your perspective, you're punching down; what do you think, they think about you???

This seems a bit of an overreaction, given the topic: I initially agreed with your post and added an enquiry on the topic of FE, my anecdotal evidence of a trusted source (they explicitly said that on a QI show), your trusted source is just different to mine, I just don't have access to the elves workings. Your style of debate often leaves me angry and I basically agree with you, not to mention my willingness to accept I'm wrong; imagine the effect on 'them'???

Low hanging fruit, the easy target's to feel so much better than I am, Ask not for whom this bell tolls, perchance it tolls for thee. IOW, every coin has a dark side. What makes you the arbiter of truth?
