I've skimmed this, it makes no sense to me. There are some graphics. There are things like this: > The ISS genomes exhibited an average of 4568 genes, a significantly higher count than the average of 4416 genes found in the Earth

That article is so low on detail! There's basically just this statement: > Study findings indicate under stress, the ISS isolated strains were mutated and became genetically and functionally distinct compared to their Earth counter

Yes, this is always the case. The approach might be the best we've got, but it doesn't inspire confidence that we are uncovering some underlying truth.

Right - I'm more distanced from common usage, for sure. On the other hand, my assessments and understanding is my own. My brain is not "outsourced" to consensus or experts. I'm fine with that! I'm interested to se

If you doubted that they speak French in Marseilles, you could go and verify it. How do you propose one verifies how music sounded 2000 years ago?

I feel for this person. Partly though, it seems to me that he will never achieve the results he hopes for. He is a product of the culture - he cannot think outside of the terms he has been given. He says as much: > Despite my injury, I

Its actually logic. There really are some things that cannot be known. It is valuable and useful to distinguish between belief/hypothesis and knowledge. The worst thing, imo, is to believe that one knows when one is a state of belief

Consensus has nothing to do with how one can know what things sounded like 2000 years ago, when we have no means to verify anything. The consensus might be bang on. Or it might be wildly wrong. Or something else. Who can say? My point is

Feel free to give your definition of free will. My one is that one is more free if one is aware of the full scope of one's options. This is not an ephemeral idea, it is not related to the 'what might have been' aka the &#x27

If you have an emotionally abusive partner, and don't do something about it, perhaps depression is acting as a prompt for you to take action. Some part of you (your soul, say) knows better, and via pain (depression) is trying to shift

Who has knowledge though? Is the acceptance of this or that thought of another person's 'knowledge'? Are you filling up on knowledge or nonsense?

Lots of answers about free will. My criticism is that they all seem to make the same error, in treating the existence of free will as some sort of binary decision. My view is that the more one's model is coherent with the underlying re

Could depression, or other mental illnesses, be the outcome of one's bad decisions (or failure to make decisions)?

It is impossible to have an opinion on this topic without being personally scorched (as opposed to being 'globally warmed'). I appreciated the research you and the OP did. I pointed out the ideas that co2 was fingered as the caus

It's easy to get what's going on once you realise it's a sickness industry, nothing to do with health. You want lots of sick people to treat a lot. Doctors being short on time etc, is fine - it's business.

I know the fallacy, but I'm confused! Whose is the fallacious reasoning then, in your opinion? Is it the OP who interprets pollution to be co2, or mine as you interpret me to be narrowing the scope somehow?
712.
by verisimi 3y ago
Pollution is not co2, right? (The OP says co2, not pollution.) We also have both claims here - global warming and global cooling. Can't we also say, from broad claims such as the ones you hi light, that a sort of generic scientific

I agree. Psychologists are almost always the most unbalanced people you can meet. PS Apart from psychiatrists and priests. Probs they should all wear magic hats when pulling out their expert opinion in court.

"Conspiracy belief" is a nonsense term. "Conspiracy theory" is simply a pejorative label. To ask, 'are there conspiracies?' is akin to asking 'do people lie or cheat for personal benefit?' The answer

Well, do you think a teacher can love a class of 20 or 30 kids, like a parent can? I think they might do a professional job, but it would be impossible to give individual attention. And, around here (UK), teachers have a lot of non class

Yep. This is exactly how is see it. I don't think people realise the level of love required to grow a human. Whatever is received is that person's normal - what else could it be? But, I don't think all childhoods are equa

People are broken. Perhaps they always were. Perhaps this latest, is the cost of prioritising work over family - it is now common to have both parents working, with child care outsourced to professionals, that may do everything right, but
