    Non-sense data.

    Nonsense data? It's interesting that this pejorative word, 'nonsense,' describes the status of all knowledge not available to the sense.

     

    Also, I suggest podcast FDR25: Validating the senses.

    Could there be another form of sense data stream that humans are not tapped into, drastically limiting their own perception of reality? 

    There are many. Here is my attempt at a list. Would others please contribute from your specific fields.

    Magnetism,

    Electric charge,

    All of the radio spectrum, excluding visible light.

    All visible objects, the size of which is indiscernible to the naked human eye.

    Gaseous pressure,

    Ph of solutions.

    Gravity intensity.

    All sound frequencies outside of the range of human perception.

    The passing of time.

  2. Thanks for keeping this thread alive guys.

     

    Here's a quick update on the situation. One of the 2 women has had a second child, and made the exact same choice as the first one. As soon as her maternity leave ran out, she went right back to work. The newborn went right into daycare.

  3. Since a major aspect of the current culture war is a battle over narrative, I thought I would post an update on recent developments.

     

    For many decades, the left has been relentlessly beating up on the right in terms of equality, diversity, anti-racism, and environmentalism. It doesn't matter if these charges are valid, the point is that they exist in the 'moral high ground,' and their opposition is seen as unsightly.

     

    With this position, the left has been able to lobby the government, which bends at the knee of a compelling narrative. The result has been decades of laws and public funding funneled in channels which harm the sensibilities of the right. Recently events have given the right a moral crusade that gives them a high ground, while simultaneously disadvantages their cultural enemies

     

    Fire Safety,

     

    And bonus points... it actually is important :cool:

     

     

    The Oakland warehouse fire occurred in a radical leftist commune rife with HIV, drugs, and alternative lifestyle degeneracy. These communes are known as "DIY spaces" to the bums, anarchists, and drug addicts who populate them. You might even have one of these rent-free flop houses in your neighborhood or city and not even know it.

    The purpose of this thread is to save the lives of those who populate such places. As the incident in Oakland has shown, these dens of ill repute are often decrepit, hazardous, and in violation of city ordinances. As members of this board of peace, we are obligated to report building code infractions and get these death traps shut down.

     

     

    The campaign delivers results too,

    Follow your usual sources for more information...

  4. Doesn't sound like the best relationship I've ever heard of. I've never known of any couple that needs to have an annual vacation 'alone.' She needs to accept that he's having at least one sexual partner per trip.

     

    From your perspective I don't think you're in a situation to tell her this is wrong. She's already told you that she's fine with the arrangement. You suggested that her judgement is clouded by his wealth. You stated that her main concern is that a man provides for his family.

     

    It sounds like he satisfies all of her requirements, and she's willing to look away from the holiday issue to get what she wants. Nobody is violating the non-aggression principle.

     

    Again, not the best relationship. But she doesn't have noble intentions herself either.

  5. You're missing the spirit of the scenario, Bleak.  Suppose you and I are both ancaps, and are both imprisoned in the same cell.  Do property rights apply or not?  If they do, how does that work?  If they don't, are we to both hang up our ancaps and live as though we were...anarchocommunists?

    Your post might have been an attempt at trolling, but nonetheless I think you bring up a great question about property rights and anarcho-capitalism.

     

    Specifically, how do people that see private property as the means to settle disputes handle situations of ambiguous ownership?

     

    The part I quoted made me think of an article Jeffrey Tucker wrote some years ago about this scenario: Homesteading for Fun and Survival - Jeffrey Tucker - Mises Daily

  6. Surely, NASA would never fake anything.  Certainly not the photo (ahem) of Saturn published as image number 14 on their Space.com website here.

    Go scroll to the bottom of this supposed "NASA Website," which posts "NASA Pictures." Click on the "About The Site" and "Company Info" links.

     

    Kinda weird a government agency would have a link titled "company info." :P

     

    pretzelogik, come back and post your findings. :)

  7. In 2013, the last year of data available on wikipedia, 32,719 people died in/by motor vehicles. Statistically, that's over 89 people a day.

    On the day of this terrorist attack, which left 14 people dead.. 89 people died in their cars. The very next day, when everybody's flags were waiving at half mast, and the media was calling for stricter gun control....

     

    ...another 89 people (statistically) died in their cars.

     

     

    I guess what I'm trying to say is that I use this number to put tragedies in perspective, to see if the fear mongering peddled by the media compares to a daily killer, which probably every person in this thread can relate to, but which is completely invisible to CNN etc....
