  1. "Privilege" by definition involves disparity. If everyone has the same, whether great wealth or no wealth, there is no privilege. I don't consider wealth inequality to be a problem in and of itself. I do however consider issues such the inability to earn a living wage while working full time to be an issue. I want to live in your world. In my world there are minorities who do not get good jobs because those jobs are preferentially granted to certain groups. Some students don't make it into good colleges because the privileged take their spots. Amongst many other issues caused by privilege.
  2. What it is saying is that a pardon can protect you from a trial by the courts, but it cannot protect you from a trial by the Senate (an impeachment). Trump may have been found 'not guilty' of breaking the law in his impeachment trial, but that does not mean he would not be found guilty of breaking that very same law in a criminal trial. A pardon given to Trump would protect him from that criminal trial.
  3. I would say privilege is the problems. If everyone has the same things there is no privilege.
  4. 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.
  5. How do you explain the fact that according to your hypothesis we would be right in the center of the universe? Dumb luck? God?
  6. How is "if you believe it then it is true" part of science?
  7. I assume depth matters too. Even powdery snow should stop you eventually, and you can break through thin ice.
  8. Never should have shared that! 😂
  9. Some flies find water by detecting humidity changes with a sensor on their antenna.
  10. Many people will pay you if you drive traffic to them. For example, if your app drives a customer to a store that rents equipment, you can earn a commission on the rental.
  11. You seem to be using the terms "ethics" and "morals" interchangeably. They are not the same thing. Am I misunderstanding you?
  12. How about this? You start with telling us what you think would happen "If the entire universe, every single planck, even what is now empty space, was somehow converted into a single type of fermion". That might clear things up a bit.
  13. The impression I got was that the Republicans who voted against certifying the vote received such a rash of shit that they backed down from their frivolous position.
  14. https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/17/politics/michigan-detroit-election-results/index.html
  15. If two random responses from anonymous people on the internet aren't proof I don't know what is! Can't wait to see your published article. Congratulations, you've accomplished what you came here for! Really, really good work!
  16. What are the properties of these physical influences? How do they interact with each other? How do they interact with existing 'physical influences'? Do they interact with existing 'physical influences'? What exactly is a "hypothetical something else"? Unless you provide some detail, your question is on a par with "What would happen if Person A met Person B at Place C while Fact D was changing from one thing to another"?
  17. The Theory of Evolution says much more than "just...that life changes over time".
  18. I'll take that as a "no". You asked about "Darwinian evolution". Don't move the goalposts.
  19. Can you elaborate on these 'holes' please? Quite willing as is evidenced by the fact that we've moved on from Darwinian evolution!
  20. The Hindu calendar has a year zero.
  21. In the Gregorian calendar...
  22. Depends. The definition of a 'year' can represent the orbital period of a planetary body, an approximation of the number of days in Earth's orbital period, or 31,557,600 seconds in a Julian year. And let's not forget academic years, fiscal years, etc. Are you starting from the beginning of the first year to the end of the last year? Are we counting days, so that we have to include leap years? Are we using one calendar over another? If you are not going to be any more precise in your question then you can pick either of the two years surrounding the time that equally divides your total.
  23. In which calendar system? Gregorian? Hindu? Some other?
