   "no matter how many you add together", is where this argument breaks down in ZFC. The sphere is indeed the union of all of the singletons consisting of its points, all of which are measure zero. Banach-Tarski is mainly considered

   Paper isn't really that bad for the environment, right? That was an ad campaign to sell plastic or something. Paper trees are grown as crops and basically just fix carbon. The pulping has some local undesirable effects, but I don'

   This is such a poorly crafted argument that it's hard to imagine it's not in bad faith. You listed religion twice! The only way this is representative of any kind of "normal" culture is if you have defined it that way. L

    Bonferroni effects have, at least in the popular consciousnes, become much more front and center. I wonder how many people on the stre can define p-hacking. Most educated people know about the reproducibility crisis, and I would wager that

    The government will never allow high inflation as it undermines the willingness to write and sign long term contracts and trade agreements.

    If there is high inflation, the Fed will raise interest rates, crashing the housing market. Not saying you're wrong, but there are many factors to be considered.
