Coming back from death used to be fiction. It still is.

Because Star Trek is science fiction.

There are morphological differences between every living being unless they are clones, including identical twins. Further suggesting that physical differences (such as different melanin content in the skin) is the fundamental source of economic inequality in the world is absurd in the extreme. You may as well be suggesting inequality comes from some people having curly hair and others having straight. If history is any guide here, they will simply keep repeating the same ridiculous assertions and responding with the equivalent of “nuh uh!” to any valid criticisms or counterpoints. Fine, but your core mistake here is the suggestion that it must be either one or the other. That’s a false dichotomy since any rational view of the economic inequality we’re experiencing today must acknowledge and accept that there are important elements of both that are related in critical ways. One must consider the entire system as a whole, not just individual elements in isolation. Some people have far too much. Some people have far too little. Both of these things can be true in parallel and both can be addressed at the same time to improve the overall balance. Your stance ignores the fact that too often people who are equally or even more qualified also regularly don’t get those jobs and functions. The evidence on this subject is abundant and consistent, and you should seriously consider revising your stance which today doesn’t seem to be in any way tethered to reality.

No one ever works to solve a problem they are unaware of. It seems self-evident that people must be made aware of the issues caused by privilege prior to resolving those issues.

Exactly right. Agree with the nuance added. Precision of language matters here. I grouped clemency and commutation under the umbrella pardon power. I agree with the clarification Swansont shared.

Smart kid. That reminds me, I read about a chimp that could sign very well and, along the same lines, she called a fridge "open door food". My nephew, who probably 4 or 5, asked me if you went work, you were swapping your life for money?

Tonight after our thanksgiving meal, we flipped through the channels and the scheduled American football game had been cancelled... replaced by a dog show which our 3-year old cleverly called a “dog Talent show.” That made us chuckle... how does a 3-year old know WTF a talent show even is, and how cute is it to label a dog show as one? But that was nowhere near as cute as how during dinner a few weeks back when speaking and searching for the word for “watch” this same 3-year old described it as a “clock bracelet.” My pride regarding these self-directed still forming descriptions of the cosmos around us is boundless.

Why is it always barriers imposed by, or the fault of society, when someone fails ? What part does personal responsibility play in this ? Markus Hanke taught himself GR ( and many other aspects of Physical Science ). It was not provided for him, but he wanted it and he got it. Barriers did not hinder him. You, yourself, have displayed a questioning attitude. One of the best ways to learn about things you know little about. Yet others come here with the attitude that what little knowledge they have , is all there is. They ask no questions, but make conjectures and proclaim results which more learned members quickly dismiss. And yet their attitude, not barriers, allows them to double down and insist they are right ( until they are banned ). A good attitude, and a willingness to learn, go a long way in these days of internet access and on-line courses.

Well balance should still be factual. I do not know De Havilland but Parsons received engineering training at an engineering firm after his studies in mathematics. I do not want to derail it further but if one needs to dig back two centuries and still not find plenty of examples it does somehow indicate the rarity of such achievements, no? Meanwhile there are countless unnamed, non-famous with training labouring away to provide all the basic information we have on this and other diseases (at times, at personal risk) which are summarily dismissed because obviously what they do is too mundane and boring. Instead, we long for stories of the untrained underdog saving humanity by having flashes of genius that are misunderstood by those actually working on it. It sure is a great Hollywood story but it sure ain't what's happening.

You're putting words in my mouth ... maybe in my nose! I"M GONNA DROP THE ISSUE AFTER THIS POST -- and if no one gets it, no one gets it! END OF LINE. The nasal spray is synthetic way of getting scientifically-created/isolated viral fragments (vaccines) into humans/animals. If one has naturally gotten over say a flu, breathed out dead/weak fragments to others of my species (not immune), I may communicate that "vaccine". I orig called it a "Another type of Herd Immunity" before that thread was merged into this megathread. That was my theory ... maybe a pet theory. END OF LINE.

The top side of every 6 sided die equals 7 - the bottom side. So the top side/bottom side pairs are 1,6; 2,5; 3,4. If I can see the top side, I automatically know what the bottom side is. That is sufficient a metaphor to describe entanglement. And it very easy to understand because everyone has experience with dice. Right? Do you want interstellar drives? Or are you not interested in such things. Today it's science fiction. But with the right research & development, it could be possible withing 50 years.

It's an image for my example and you see that if we assume the universe of today's scientists be each one of the points[stars] of the left picture, Therefore The left picture is Thora [according to those oldest scientists] And if we assume the Thora with its real size be each one of the dusts on the welding mask[in real size means 0.1mm] Therefore The ocean[real size] will be the same sea that is mentioned in the clip that its size compared with the Kursi is such as the same above!!! And you can realize how much the light is over the darkness!! And the Kursi along the Arsh is such as when a finger ring has been fallen down on the great desert Sahara!!! And Arsh is absolute Light! My imagination of that is such as this picture: And according to those greatest scientists, we means human's brains capacity is not enough to realize them!! But they mentioned that the smallest bit among things is the seeds of the light! And according to today's scientists it's 'Photon' But maybe years later the scientists discover existence of a thing smaller than that within the light! But we have been sure that the smallest thing is within/inside of the light! And it guided us that we should zoom/focus on that the more! Means researching for the smallest thing within the light! Also according to today's scientists the Neutron Stars , each cm3 of them has sooo much weight!! Also these scientists have discovered that 99% of objects is Empty! And those greatest scientists said: "... Is TSamad!" And TSamad means a thing that is not empty and is filled! Aha, I remembered a concept of the great scientist Albert Einstein[r.a] that the light will be curved while is passing side of an object.. One day i was soldering/brazing a handle for this copper jug, then i saw the fire[oxy-propane] is waving around the jug!! Exactly followed the edges!! Then it reminded me to that concept.. Then I tested a Laser light around that and didn't see any curving around that, then researched in the Google and didn't find anything.. Do you know anything to explain that!? What Connection is between these sources of the Science!?! That: ☆ Those scientists said: some planets are completely water!, and some of them are completely steam/gas, and some of them are completely solid ☆ The Light has a series of seeds that the smallest thing is the same! * What Thing Was before the empty!? * Is there anything within the empty!? * Is the dark energy[of today's scientists] the same smallest thing and rejects being the empty!? According to the Logical Algorithm, IF we are existed with intelligence THEREFORE An Intelligent Thing Was Existed before everything and any second thing such as the same Arsh is automatically The Same's creature! Even IF He Wants make a body/form/size/face/place/time for Himself, He Is Not Able! And it's impossible! Because after Him everything is include the secondary things!! I would love to join a great discovery wise team of real seeker scientists Not any fake scientists who are fools and just have claims of scientists. Because a normal scientist should assume everyone says true, and he should test people's sayings into the great Crossword of the Science and put them side by side of any similar sayings and analyze THEN accept or reject! Take a while the fool denies and rejects something bcz he hasn't ever had believe in that

If people do not behave in the same way it is because there is a morphological difference between them. That is the fundamental source of inequality. It's also impossible to fix, and there is no reason to either. Should we alter the genetics of the potato so that it will have the same morphology as a dog? Why? Why should organisms be equal? To what end? Give up on this childish dream of equality and accept reality.
