  1. This highlights the problem, it's automatically ambiguous bc of the language, in this case, a visual representation of an auditory representative of a common cultural experience; IOW lost in translation, or it could be a tree... It's why mathematics is the language of physics.
  2. When enough people aren't comfortable enough with what they need...
  3. All you have proven is, you don't understand the subject...
  4. We'll never know... It's the old Dr Doolittle problem, if we could talk to the animals, they wouldn't make any sense...
  5. OK, conscious of what?
  6. This Putin love in, strikes me as more of an attempt to diminish Chinese influence bc they're the kid we dare not try too bully... He's late to the plate bc Putin, Knows which side his bread is buttered, IOW he's already their bitch... My apologies for the mixed metaphor... 🤢
  7. The same can be said about Henry Ford...
  8. You're only confusing yourselves. 😉
  9. It's loud and it's tasteless and I've heard it before...
  10. Really!!! They've written a few... 🙄
  11. You'd think, but the only lesson we can take from history is, we don't learn much from history...
  12. Indeed, not every dust devil makes it out of the deserts of Africa, but they all start somewhere, and they all need a lot of encouragement to reach full potential; a butterfly in England is unlikely to contribute much, to the probability of creating a hurricane in America. It might, but probably not... 🤒
  13. Please sir, can I have some more... 🙏
  14. Indeed, definition's do seem to be an ongoing problem. What you don't seem to understand is, the expectation is real (objective), it's only the words 'dark matter' that's subjective; an arbitrary title for something we know but don't fully understand; not unlike your contributions thus far.
  15. Why, what temperature prevents?
  16. Essentially, the individual can hold a moral absolute and express its value, in order to persuade other's; ethics is the brake that stops one from enforcing that value on others... You're conflating my arguments in order to be obtuse Not my job, if you hadn't noticed, I'm not a fan... 🙄 Good for you, I genuinely applaud your fortitude in resisting a 'bacon sarnie' in order to stick to your moral stance; but we are talking about veganism in this topic... And that means no cheese, and arguable no honey either; no good can come from this... 😉 Mostly bc it's an emotional argument and I've already explained why that's not relevant here...
  17. Depends on who one trusted... 🤒
  18. The difference is, individuals can have morals society needs ethics. A moral can be an absolute, where as an ethic is a democratic version of a moral. The NHS is a typical example; free at the point of need, coupled with the doctor's hypocratic oath, combine to make NICE appear rather nasty; and thus it drowns in absolute need...
  19. Bullshit, they haven't even decided what the actual question is, whomsoever they are? Which bit's did you understand? I only ask bc it reminds me of the time I, arrogantly, said to my little sister "let me read your PhD (microbiology) paper" to which she said "what's the point, you won't understand any of it" 😉; the wink stung the most...
  20. No one should read the news, if they want to hold onto sanity, we should eat our breakfast in front of a mirror...
  21. 6 though 10 is also important... 🙂 How do you propose to test that theory? I know, my theory is, we can have a magical chat with the universe, that I can tell the kids as a metaphorical story; that I hope they grow into a meaningful understanding of the universal...
  22. This is why the vegan argument doesn't work ethically, bc it's emotional. frequency is completely irrelevant, the focus of ethics is to remove the emotional argument... Essentially, the auditors of life. 😉
  23. McCarthy must be spinning in his grave as America votes for a Putin, wannabee... 😉
  24. Please explain, bc I'm pretty sure Maimonides thoughts weren't about quantum. Here we go again, Dunning and Krueger writ large, you don't know enough to know why you don't understand, so you feel no shame in displaying your ignorance...
