People spend far more energy believing than not. Atheism is freedom from the tightrope the faithful must walk, falling off, on one side they find the eternal flames of Hell, on the other the cloudy kingdom of beautiful Heaven, all the time, dreading for their entire lives, what might happen if...

I could probably talk on this for hours. I've used CVD (chemical vapor deposition) to grow films in the lab (seeing a vacuum plasma for the first time can be an amazing thing). There seems to be one contradiction in this video, and I could be wrong about it, but there are three materials...

I stayed away from those two bubbles: AI and SPCX. Maybe they're not bubbles now, but I'm pretty sure they will be. Either that or I'm going to lose out on the two biggest future moneymakers. Whatever happens, eventually I'm sure that both will make money in the long term, but not without...

This doesn't make much sense. Adolf Hitler was an ENFJ, a type that I know well, and most of these people have been anything but toxic in my life. So I don't think you can identify toxicity in a person from their personality type. Toxicity comes from corruption of the individual, and...

It's even worse than you might suspect. As we've been pouring CO2 into the atmosphere, plants have been absorbing it, converting CO2 back into O2, and compensating for the excess Carbon production that we've been engaging in. It's truly a symbiotic relationship that we seem to be completely...

I feel bad that one of my own type has been so crude and nasty with you. But as you may be aware, there are a lot of good and bad people in the world, and type doesn't have to be an indicator of this. My warning about AI also extends beyond this. I've heard some stories about using AI as a...

Last I heard, data centers were driving up electric bills for nearby residents and businesses. You might think that they could build solar panels atop those data centers, and they might help a bit, but I've been inside those data centers, and the power demands are pretty outrageous. The...

I know he's written a book or two, and I think I even read one of them, and I know one of the young kids at the gym was reading it, but I told the kid, whatever the book was, something about 12 rules of life or something, there are a LOT more than 12 rules to life. So Peterson was a bit short...

I haven't been able to figure out what this guy is. I know he's a PhD psychologist, but that far from makes him godlike in capabilities. There are many PhDs in the world. Last statistic I saw said that 0.8% of the people who live in my community have PhDs. Less than 1%, but the population of...

Okay, I see now that I should not have called you, "Sweetie" in my last post.'' However, having been around MBTI typology for many years, I'm aware that "unaware" male F-types and female T-types have a different role in life to the "tough manly man" or the "tender sweet woman". What I've seen...

Okay sweetie, you may have to go home, put on your suit of armor, and then come back and join the battle. All of which I find somewhat hilarious. Okay, just a little bit hilarious - I have to be polite, here.

Yes, but these were originally fishermen. They had to learn how to write first. And that may have taken some time. Maybe 30 years. Maybe they weren't that smart and it took a long time.

LMAO

I have no intention of challenging this. However, I would like to see a death certificate, by a licensed doctor. My suspicion of course, is that he didn't really die on the cross, as all of the texts suggest, but that perhaps they took him down, assumed he was dead, put him into a tomb and...

It's not necessary. I don't even understand what most of the topics are myself.
