If the water runs off into streams and rivers and on into the ocean, then it can be said to be "wasted", but if it soaks back into the ground and rejoins the groundwater, it is still available in the aquifers. This is the premise

The main thrust of the argument (one I agree with vociferously) is that life is not a category, it is either an aspect of every physical system or it is one pole of a very-hard-to-quantify spectrum of such systems. Another way to put it is,

Morality is importantly a question for the individual. The question is, what do you weep for, not what do we weep for. If you're taking moral cues from others, you're not doing morality, just groupthink.

That's a lot of contortion to attempt a defiance of etymology. And anyway the conversation was about redistribution, that prefix of course demanding an additional contextual layer on which the word is applied. Trying to imply that in g

Have you dealt with a rental agency in a population hub any time in the past 15 years? It's awful service and such a pain to do all the research anew on pricing every time you want to do a drive. Much easier to manage your own predicta

Distribution implies few to many, concentration implies many to few. We could call it semantics or we could call it using words correctly.

A serious answer to your question, something I learned from interacting with a couple especially open flat-earthers once: they want everyone to "trust their senses" and "do their own research". In one sense you could say

I see the confusion now. Theory of mind is about recognizing the existence of other minds, not about being able to plumb the depths of one's own mind. If anyone had the latter skill, psychotherapy wouldn't need to exist and no o

I figured it out watching locals. The hand symbol has a rather obvious intention so the 3 dots in a circle symbol obviously has a different one. Didn't take long to intuit from the fact that locals simply didn't interact with that

The division problem is arbitrary and irrelevant to any notion of theory of mind. If you have a better example, you can feel free to offer one. I already did so above.
