Thank you for acknowledging this is a legitimate question. I've no issue with all sorts of cameras and scientific instruments being placed on a space craft. I don't expect to get access to all the data that is sent back - though

You don't think colour photography is mature? And even if that were the case, do you not think there would be some scientific value to having the photo in colour that it would be worth the risk? Personally - I think its ridiculous that

At this point in history, with the economies of scale in production from phones etc, surely it's cheaper to put in a colour camera?!

I think this - thought/'inner life' being the fourth dimension. But the problem is that there are several senses of the term dimension - there is the mathematical/topological sense and the philosophical sense, and possi

Yep, it's dishonest. But it looks good... It meets visual expectations... And I'm sure it helps the product off the shelf. Write ups in the NYT are quite useful too! And I thought it was all about sound. She probably has a ti

Its one thing for a human to pay another human to call up leads or whatever, and an entirely other thing to create a factory to do the same job and hit thousands/millions at a lower cost than someone would pay the single human. The sc

The book the article is based on, seems well researched. One has to wonder, is the term 'philanthropy' a misnomer.. is it really 'misanthropy', with the very powerful determined to torment everyone else without end to a

In war, the first casualty is the truth. We have no idea whether this story itself is relaying anything of value. For all we know, stories like this could be a part of the war effort.

You are talking about the concept of countries - an idea. A country is something that is enlivened in the minds of individuals - without people thinking in terms of 'Germany' or whatever there are no countries. It doesn't a

I have to wonder, what primary sources there could be. I would be amazed if there were any.

To talk about 'murder', is to talk in terms of the provided lawbook - 'murder' is a criminal term. You are unable to think neutrally, your frame of reference itself has been determined for you. The term you mean I thin

By what means does a government have the ability to a/ take choice away, b/ give it back? Is it a moral consensus, if it is backed by force? It's simply that the whole thing is an illusion agreed upon. Or rather, stumbled i

Yep - its a simple enough point... look at the source code all you like, but if your compiler is malicious, you won't see the malicious code that is running.

Best advice I heard on this, is for partners to take turns to get sleep if possible. Perhaps it's obvious, but we didn't do that initially. You really only need 3 hours or so (in my experience) and the insanity starts to subside

Exactly. It's impossible to validate that this is really the illusion that the patient is seeing (which is highly unlikely to me) versus the possibility that the patient is making all this up (highly likely). I also wonder, how the pa

Not a masterplan, but definitely guides. I mean there are all sorts of meetings that occur where the rich and powerful meet and arrange this or that - eg Bilderberg, WEF, Trilateral Commission, UN, WHO, etc. These aren't elected bodi
