  1. Where does the article say that it is instantenuous? Quantum communication is secure, because eavesdropping breaks it down but you have to transmit the information using electromagnetic waves.
  2. Strawman, poisoning the well and many other fallacies. I am still waiting for you to present us a reproducable experiment that refutes Einstein's theory.
  3. The halflife for news like that is 2 to 3 days, then something new happens. You posted on Friday, meanwhile the new hot shit is the G20 perhaps next week Trump tweets something or a dindu gets shot. The action is dead, essentially. The media don't care for some shitposting autistes and last time I checked, spam filters at those companies are still working. To take down a media company you need a lot of money. All the critique about gawker didn't change a thing, only when Thiel supported Hulk Hogan did something happen. The impact of /pol outside a filter bubble is marginal. Plus, since Pizzagate nobody in the media takes them seriously.
  4. Logic, causality and so on are hardwired in mammal brains. Empiricism is largely based on statistical analysis, be it frequentist or Bayesian.
  5. So what is the reaction? Posting edgy gifs?
  6. You can't Truths are tautological. You can make statements about nature that are very likely, but you can't proof them to be true.
  7. Compare that with The first two sentence of Das Kapital and then a cursory glance to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodity_(Marxism) and you will realize that your presentation is subcomplex to the issue at hand.
  8. Where does Marx say that only labour creates wealth?
  9. Really.
  10. Can you give some citations where Marx wrote that?
  11. She profitted from the North Sea Oil, the outsourcing of shady financial deals to London and good luck. She is in part responsible for turning GB into a rentier state.
  12. Were you a hipster vegan?
  13. Libertarians, Ancaps, Free Market proponents focused only on economic problems. They didn't realize that the culture is more important than economy. And that's where the Left has had cultural hegemony for well over 50 years. The Alt Light and the Alt Right both realize that to change a society for the better you have to first win the culture war. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Camp_of_the_Saints You can go back the last 50 years and find that smart people came to the same conclusions. Now, these talking points have begun to infiltrate mainstream discourse thanks to independent media.
  14. And that has been done.
  15. As long as you don't have evidence to back up your theory, it has the same epistemological status as witches. First you come up with a theory, then you look for experiments that validate it.
  16. So to summarize the post, you don't have any evidence that 'SGR' is wrong?
  17. Fringe journal posts fringe article. That's not evidence. I am asking for evidence as in reproducable experiment that has been validated.
  18. When you come to a fork in the road, take it. You can observe a lot by just watching. It ain’t over till it’s over. - Yogi Berra, philosopher and baseball player.
  19. You could study Neuroscience which includes both philosophical and psychological topcics. No idea if the trend is over, but a few years ago, NeuroX (Neuroeconomy and similar things) was the big hype. I'd also suggest reading some Ruth Millikan. She is the best philosopher you never heard of. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruth_Millikan
  20. I am sure May will be more fortunate in her dealings with the EU when it comes to Brexit. Oh wait, http://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/820463/Brexit-news-EU-citizens-what-happens-EU-nationals-UK-rights-residents-Britain What was the point of the Brexit again?
  21. No, parametric down conversion only happens very rarely under special circumstances. Two photons can only be entangled when they come from the same photon. Energy is conserved when one photo turns into two, so the new photons have twice the wavelength and half the energy. The sumtotal of the spin is conserved as well, which is what entanglement is. Knowing how one photon is polarized thus tells you the polarisation of the other. The superposition of states is also what makes entangle impoosible to communicate with. You may know the total spin, but not how it is distributed among the two. Lets say you know that the spin is 7. That leaves you with several possibilites of how it is distributed among the photons: 1 - 6 2 - 5 3 - 4 4 - 3 5 - 2 6 - 1Insert other media When you break the entanglement, you determined the state of 'your' photon and conversely the state of the other one. But to transmit that information you have to use electromagnetic waves which have an upper limit with c.
  22. How are varieties in Lamarckism passed on if not through genes? You don't need a computer to process the data from a blueprint.
  23. You don't even have to use philosophy to argue for white identity politics. A simple though experiment suffices. If group A is atomized and group V has cohesion and fights for their interests, who will succeed in the long run? I suppose some Libertarians rather stick autistically to their principles and lose than admit that they have been had.
