What's your worldview?
That's your privaledge not an answer...

What's your worldview?
Tolerance is not conditional, but hate is...

What's your worldview?
And that's your flawed, world view; what ism sums it up for you? Nihilism, perchance? While other's call it murder:

So, you won't tollerate them, because they won't tollerate you; Don't you see the problem with that? What has god got to do with it?

Being tolerant, doesn't mean you have to like their brand of stupid... 😉

What's your worldview?
I hesitate to answer bc I think it's an absurd question (please don't think I'm ridiculing you), it's like saying "which aphorism is your philosophy?". One's worldview depends on the world one lives in, one has to think beyond it's limits and look for the awe that puts one in perspective; our relationship with the world depends on our ability to forgive it. If you watch the world through the medium of the popular press, you're borrowing their perspective, not thinking of your own; don't look at the screen, look out of the window. This is worth a listen, it goes some way towards explaining my point...

Mind-brain (split from I ask recognition from physicalists of at least 1 non-physical dimension where concepts, the inner voice, inner imagery and dreams 'reside'
That depends on how dark it gets...😉

Is US higher education the best in the world?
Higher education, higher than what? The best education, teaches you to be higher than your teacher's; while accepting your no different...

A big enough lump of lead, travelling at a relatively big enough speed, would put those numbers to shame. Why is so much of this discussion, so emotionally charged?

Will China replace the USA in 5 years?
More of a "matrix" given the number of people who want in, verses the number of people who want to keep them out; bc they're the real enemy. Blue pill or red?

Relish in your moment of awe and accept the consequences; why am I so special? God was a good got/go to, but all we get now is, dark matter/energy has put a spanner in the works... Your not... 😉 In a lot of way's "genetically fittest" is a feedback loop, IOW your fit enough to live now, tomorrow is anyones guess...

Is depression caused by low serotonin?
Indeed, but it's not for everyone... The magic bullet is a kind of myth, in that it makes us feel better; does depression have a cause? Pehaps, but it certainly doesn't help itself

Will China replace the USA in 5 years?
All we know for sure is, every empire comes to an end; and it's never the enemy they can see that's the problem...

You're assuming the awful power to destroy here on Earth, would be replicated out there in space; for a start, we wouldn't be able to hear the bang... 😉 What's the point of blindly shooting nukes at the problem, they can backfire in a much more devastating way than a lump of lead. Like I said on page one, our best defence is to keep our eyes peeled bc if we don't see it in time, we could fire every nuke on the planet and have no more effect on it's progress, than a spider's web in your path.

What sort of question is that? When a Tesla could fall on your head? The first option is to think about it?

Trump account airs Reich video (split from Political Humor)
That depends on the direction of your moral compass, for instance, didn't John Lennon die bc someone read ' A catcher in the rye', wrong?

Your favorite science popularizer?
I haven't thought about him, what are your thoughts? This is a social contract, a discussion if you will, a question has to have a point; so what's the point of your's?

No, I assumed you understood the physics of a black hole.

I agree time is the deciding factor but at some point a nuke is not just the best option it would be the only option. By the time society decided it's our only option, we've sailed past the event horizon... 😉

OK, let's give em even more fuel and try to control that explosion (every time). Look your missing my point about 'when not how much' if we see it early enough then a very small push is enough to lead us to salvation, but we run into the old 'the effect drops with the square of the distance' (mind fuckery) IOW by the time we can see it from earth all of the 'so called' power of the nukes is but a leaf in the path of a train. Did you know, there's a 22% chance a Tesla will fall out of the sky? You won't care if the nuke land's first...😉

Well, just to be clear ICBM's aren't designed to reach escape velocity, they run out of fuel 'wwway' before that, the when is more a matter of, oh shit... 😉

Extreme male brain theory of autism
By way of explanation, it's my understanding that a huge number of women go undiagnosed bc they are better at hiding the symptoms, so a study or thinking that's based on a flawed premise is therefore going to have a bias, they address the difference between a male and female brain but they can't address the true nature of autism. I haven't been diagnosed, but I definitely fit most of the symptoms.
