I'm sorry if my word's or thought's offended you, just remember they're just images on a screen, there's no physical or emotional threat intended, I'd say the exact same thing to my best friend's face to face. My philosophy on this is, understanding that an external locus of control is a waist of emotional energy, and understanding why an internal locus of control, is the path to peace. 😉 IOW do what you can control, with good intent, and don't worry about the world you can't control.

The bullet's are less effective, with the square of the distance...

Not really, we have yet to identify an alien in the context of this discussion and much like a ghost, we have yet to categorise it... 🧐

Isn't it obvious???

There's no such thing as fish

Ohh snap, welcome to my labyrinth of echos... 😉

Like I said, he doesn't understand puberty...

If you listened to the pod-cast, maybe... You'd understand, just a little bit more, what the map might look like...😉

As I mentioned in my previous post, it's cogent to my argument; I don't care if it's you, or not, bc there's bugger all I can do about it and the mere allegation was motive enough for you to press the button trigger... 😉 This is a logical fallacy, in more than one way, for example, it's not a binery question; either you believe in nuclear antiproliferation or you're a bee keeper. I don't care about your justification for virtue signalling, if that's what floats your boat then all power to you; just don't expect me to clap. It's funny, other than the fact that I never deveated, according to the rules of 'Just a minute'.

Indeed you do... There's no such thing as a sentient iceburg,

Mostly, a path to knowledge doesn't include a mysterious or ghostly apparition; unless you believe it does...

I'm just happy that my locus of control is mine to influence, I don't care what you do with yours... 😉 Hmm, another neg for a reasonable post; it's getting difficult to not assume...

you're welcome...

Your point being??? Hubris won't kill you, it just makes you unhappy, until you die wondering...

I don't, it was an assumption; which is cogent to the topic. Now where's the fun in that? 🧐 Bolded mine, is it though? This world has been walking a tightrope of disaster, since the revolution that produced a nuclear weapon, which, at best, is a tangential threat; bc there's absolutely nothing you or I can do, to stop the fuckwit that actually pressed the button, and it's not something we can change, unlike the less obvious potential disaster's...

It's essentially doing what you are, it presents compelling anecdotal testimonials, often with multiple sources, and presents it for consideration of the audience and two scientist's, one a believer and one a denier. It's a bit rich to demand scientific evidence in the context of this discussion.

It's a radio show... 😉

Uncanny

Maybe later, I'm watching a film ATM... 😉

My thoughts are, he's a good teacher at a certain level, IOW he's read at least two pages past his student's, but doesn't understand the question of puberty... I'm with @Eise +1, just late to the conversation...

We have a miriad of evidence that ghosts are real, yet no one, who didn't want too, has seen one; imagine the career of David Attenborough if he spent his time on TV trying to show us a unicorn instead of a dragon "I'm here at the last place on earth, to show you this magnificent creature, and there it is; no wait was that a donkey?"

Indeed, but as much as I'd like politics to always plow the middle furrow, I just hope the suffering is short and sharp, rather than a long and protracted deviation, which is what we could get if Trump was half as clever as he thinks he is. Most politicians don't get too, bc enough of the population usually get to vote, if the GOP get their way only white women and their rich husband's would get to.

The faster we achieve the political extreme's the faster the pendulum swings the other way, I just hope I don't have to suffer... 🙏

Assimov was very careful to sepperate that from his hyperspace fiction.

Huxley was indeed prescient on the subject. Let's hope Nietsche was too.
