Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.

FYI: Sublime Text's plugin API has recently (v. 3118) been updated with some cool new features relating to inline minihtml, which makes something like this more feasible. While it doesn't currently exist, someone might implement s

No, we really don't. What we know is what has happened in "nature", and while we can try to extrapolate from that, we really have no clue as to what is possible. Even though you grossly exaggerate how genes work with regard

It is. I see it more like someone saying (to stick with your example): "Don't buy iPhones - they'll kill you!", and scientists answering "But they're totally safe, they won't kill you." Meanwhile, the

Sure - it is the current situation to some extent. But I think would be solvable via regulation, not to mention that this is a different discussion entirely. I don't think they are necessarily behaving in an irresponsible way, though.

Why does it matter what would or wouldn't happen "naturally", though?

How is "privatising/patenting seeds" synonymous with "G.M.O. Foods"? The Nobel Laureates are not talking about the business-practice of certain companies, but rather about fear-mongering about G.M.O.s themselves, e.

The data retention directive was also pretty controversial.

I don't think that's right, as the techniques are still called machine learning. Though the distinction between the terms "machine learning" and "artificial intelligence" is somewhat unclear (depending on usage

If so, the UK is different from mainland Europe in this regard. I do find it peculiar, though, that "neo-liberalism" is of a different form than "liberalism", and hence not really "new liberalism":P

by eivarv 10y ago
Generally, when people say "liberal" in Europe they mean "economically liberal", while people mean "socially liberal" in the US.

I'd argue that this is because "natural" and "unnatural" or "artificial" are poorly defined (and usually useless) terms.

Yes, but they're not different points on a scale that goes from religious to irreligious, if that is what you mean. One can be an agnostic christian, for instance, in which case one would believe that it is unknown or unknowable whethe

Agnosticism is the stance that what we are talking about is unknowable, as opposed to gnosticism. I think what you refer to as atheism seems closer to antitheism than anything else. The difference here is the same as the difference between

What sysk is saying that atheism is not the belief that no god exists, but rather the lack of a belief in a god. It's also not as if any two unsubstantiated and unprovable positions are just as likely to be true; see Russell's te

This has been my experience as well, in addition to an increase in energy use.

I'd point out the poor validity and unreliability of Myers-Briggs, but it would perhaps prove your larger point.

Do you have any sources re: GSM networks being "harmful to bees and other insects"? The results [0-3] of a quick Google search suggests that it's not the case, and I couldn't find any research claiming it either (though,

You've identified a correlation. What solipsism is objecting to ("big claim"/"hypothesis") is the statement "There's a reason for that", which implies that there's a causal relationship betw
