  1. How do you know? Could a ray of light say "Dang it, today I will take the longer route." The explanation is coherence
  2. Just because you say so doesn't it make so. Propose an experiment that verifies your view. A materialistic view of the world is easy to validate. Consume your favourite drug and see how it changes the way the mind works based on the intake of a single substance.
  3. Only alien workers who are unionized work that erratically.
  4. This is disputed Even if the 100 year long dimming was correct it doesn't prove the Dyson sphere, unless you assume the aliens have unions for space construction. They work for 100 years on it, then all of a sudden there are major changes. Doesn't make sense.
  5. Physics is descriptive. It doesn't deal with questions why something is caused or why something is the case. Reality determines the models and not the other way round.
  6. That's odd because the photometry done is only 3 years old.
  7. No, it's not. Nobody is evil in the universal sense. Is Brian evil when he sleeps, has lunch, brushes his teeth, takes a dump? There are specific instances when Brial behaves in an evil way and you may choose to avoid him or defend yourself against him.
  8. Why? And what has logic to do with physics?
  9. It became famous for having no flux. That can be explained by several hypotheses the Dysonsphere being the most unlikely one.
  10. Do you have a study for that?
  11. There is an in group preference to be found among babies who cannot have been influenced either way. In the light of group selection it makes sense to prefer people who look like you over others.
  12. Existence is not a predicate. Saying that something does exist doesn't add anything anything meaningful. The same is true for non-existence. Saying that unicorns doesn't give you further information.
  13. No. The government ruled out other forms of delivering epinephrine and granted a monopoly to the manufacturer. Naturally, they take advantage of that and increase the prizes because there is no competition left and epinephrine is essential. In countries with a socialized medicine, you get epi pens at a fraction of the cost (10€) https://www.docmorris.de/jext-300-mikrogramm-injlsgin-einem-fe/06896664
  14. Unless there is a niche I don't know about, it will fail or fall into obscurity. Here is why. There are already platforms for all kinds of social media. Want to do microblogging? Use twitter. Want to share catpics? Use Instagram. Want to have your own personal blog? There is tumblr. And so on. Replacing a platform is possible but very expensive. You need the infrastructure, investment and so on. So far, the whole market for altcoins is burned and it's not likely to recover. Also, the quality of the articles is pretty bad. I am interested in technology, so I picked the first one to see how good it is. https://steemit.com/technology/@webdeals/new-car-technologies-that-will-help-to-save-your-money If you write about a subject be sure to get the names right. It's Bosch. More importantly, the system introduced there is not new at all, it's been around for 70 years. It was used in a large scale by Daimler Benz when they made the DB 605. Other articles aren't better. Article on math are a transcription of Vsauce or a copypaste of other blogs and so on.
  15. Concepts are both mental representation and abilities. The concept of dog allows you to recognize dogs, the concept of addition allows you to add numbers. Representation and ability are not distinct, but they reinforce each other. First you apply a concept succesfully to an instance, then you formulate it in your mind. By applying and delineating it from other concepts you learn more and are able to use it more properly.
  16. Where did you find that? Read som Amren and be ready for a surprise.
  17. The principle that THREADS THAT GET BUMPED BY OP AGAIN AND AGAIN are boring and contribute little.
  18. Get your history straight. Franz-Joseph was Franz-Ferdinand's uncle. How exactly were Franz-Joseph or Karl Slavic? How did they promote the Slavic cause?
  19. I live in a small appartment, yet I find place for a stock of Weckgläser Also, you can store food, drugs, and water for six weeks in an 120 liter box.
  20. It's common sense to have food and water and drugs stored. No idea why that creates such a fuss.
  21. Stay away from steem https://medium.com/@BlockByBlock/the-ugly-truth-behind-steemit-1a525f5e156#.gtr8cgilf
  22. There is no alternative to twitter as a platform. The best application is of little use when few people use it.
