Feel free to point out the irrationality of any part of my post. You are resolving your cognitive dissonance by ignoring documented differences among cultures, which is fundamentally illogical. This seems to be an increasingly common patter

How do we know that the universe isn't sitting on the back of a giant turtle? Most of the math that we use is self-consistent, and our proof system is, as far as we can tell, relatively consistent with the known properties of the unive

Perhaps I accept that there are more than 2-5 dimensions in the sphere of politics, and that occasionally one must compromise because no singular philosophy is perfect in all circumstances. That doesn't mean that an entire political id

As someone who leans libertarian, I tend to shy away from rigid legislative solutions to social problems and corporate overreach. However, articles like this make me wonder if it isn't time for the government to step in and implement p

The entire premise behind so called scientific experimentation is reproducibility. It is what allowed humans to move past superstitions, demonstration of consistent causes and effects. This is why economics, psychology, etc. are called &quo

I don't know what is more absurd: that the president uses a private medium like twitter as a seemingly primary channel to communicate with the nation, or that a private entity is being forced to operate as a public, regulated forum.

This comment comes off as intensely smug, from someone who has little experience with difficulty in dating. Things are not so simple. In fact, the very nature of social interaction is such that it cannot be preemptively, logically broken do

Well, probably by training the net under such conditions. Actually I see no reason that, with a sufficiently large and accurate dataset, a neural net can't be trained to pick out a "safe[enough]" emergency landing spot. And,

I disagree. A proper mathematical formulation can imply a final "smallest dividend," presuming it accounts for observable behaviors. For example, I don't believe we have experimental evidence of, say, the Plank Length, but we
