  1. Teachers do it every day, they've been trained to do exactly that; a stereotypical teacher is a pedantic bar steward... 😉 Indeed, I literally couldn't do their job, they are so much more than me...
  2. You're right, health is a different equation, and as soon as I figure out the question, you can expect a new topic...
  3. Really? evolution seems to disagree...
  4. I think it's fair to say that I'm the DV king, in terms of numbers, I seem to piss a lot of people off, mostly by asking why. If you can support your hubris, then good luck to you; most of us can't... It's almost always a double edged sword...
  5. It's more likely you got Dv's bc you lack the hubris necessary to learn anything of value... 😉
  6. We'd have different people accredited with advancing geometry, other than that, not a lot... If thing's are understandable by a human, then eventually a human will understand it...
  7. When the infant mortality rate is high, then so is the birthrate, the antipode has been shown to be true in our modern era. The question is, which is healthier for humanity?
  8. How many ghost stories would it take to make ghosts real? Some introverts just need validation to become more confident and some extroverts can become less confident with negative validation. Most people don't really fit into a pigeon hole... 😉
  9. Indeed +1, but some times there's an attempt to weaponise the DV in defence of a specious argument... From member's that sould know better...
  10. Some people have a strange relationship with pain, some even genuinely enjoy the sensation, their reward system maybe enhanced, rather than destroyed; it's possible such people would choose to stay and maybe even engage jollily with their torturer. 😉
  11. If nothing dies, the cycle is broken...
  12. This is the question, at what point does a facsimile, resemble reality?
  13. The evolution of AI can be wrong, but it will get better...
  14. I think there's yin-yang aspect to this question, the other side of the AI coin is, perhaps, a more acceptable version of 'soma' from 'a brave new world'. Most of us are perfectly content with an external source of validation, if it's roughly human shaped...
  15. This is the reason, I think, that a written language degrades, in terms of understanding across cultures, both different cultures and generational cultural drift (evolution); whilst the spoken word remains understandable across generation's and culture's.
  16. Philosophically speaking, you do fit a well known stereotype; typically, not long lived 'in these here part's'... 😉
  17. I'll have to give it some thought, bc I seem to be missing something important...
  18. I'll be honest, it struck me as a verbose version of the same metaphor. My understanding is, the second tick rate is invariant (my apologies if I've used that word incorrectly, but it seems appropriate), so whatever frame one is in, only seems distorted from the outside.
  19. I get that it's unrepresentative at a certain level of understanding, but can you think of a better metaphor for those of us that don't speak maths fluently?
