While I do agree with you, saying “look at this singular datum point” doesn’t quite sound right.

So just to double check with everyone…

dAta- singular

data- plural

I mean it is an accurate description of it, so that might be a connection… but if you know the actual history of the term then please share

I don’t know why, but I never made the connection of this pose to the term “reared-up” (meaning ready to go/launch) until recently.

Oh I’m definitely an addict. Sometimes the first sip is way too good to just be about the taste. Its a bit annoying during the summer, coffee makes me sweat too much, but if I haven’t had a cup by 1pm or so, then I get a bad headache.

For me there’s a certain amount of stress relief when I feel good contact with the ball. It can also be fun to try to be accurate the same as with other games like darts.

I’ve got a family history of it and probably should get checked early bit haven’t. Here’s to hoping that the article I saw that said THC is toxic to polyps literally saves my ass.

I can’t remember a specific example, but that does sound familiar. I remember someone claiming a possible reason for their strength was that slavers would breed slaves like animals for certain traits.

There is a combination of sounds that could perfectly describe advanced technology capable of ending world hunger and suffering. Verbal communication is like spells. All words have an effect on our mind and emotions, it’s just that most word’s effects are too small to notice. There could be some perfect combination of words that resonate with everyone and brings about world peace.

Seems like that would make it easier to counterfeit. How do they keep up to date with which designes are valid?

Your being pedantic and defensive because you know and don’t like the answer. I can’t force you see reason so keep on living in your delusion. May it bring you peace and whatnot.

If someone puts a clearly empty jar in front of you, and I say there is something in it while you say there is nothing. Who is responsible for proving their point?

This isn’t a belief the same way religion is. It’s an observation of reality without assumptions. Every religion is man-made. They are obviously fictional in too numerous of ways to list, and none of them would be good enough for you because they would not be proof. Once again YOU CANNOT PROVE A NEGATIVE.

There may be recorded history of people making claims of religious events but none with any actual evidence. You don’t need to invalidate claims that were never validated in the first place.

Maybe this… maybe that. You can claim maybe for literally an infinite number of things, but unless there’s evidence or logic to follow, then it’s meaningless.

If you want to believe then go ahead, but don’t expect others to take you seriously. That’s my biggest problem with religion. Expecting others to believe the same things you do is incredibly arrogant.

They are not making the claim. The are denying the claim that there is some sentient creator. Those making the claim that there is are the ones who are responsible for proof.

Proving a negative is basically the definition of illogical. If it’s impossible, then requiring it is illogical.

They are not demanding the negative be accepted out of some unproveable belief. They are demanding that people use logical reasoning when forming conclusions.

The one making the claim is the one who has the burden of proof. Requiring someone to prove a negative is completely illogical.

I would also say that someone’s disbelief in someone else’s claim is not a belief system in itself.

Occam’s razor is choosing the simplest answer. There is no simple answer when it comes to teleportation. I’m not sure there is a full break in consciousness when we sleep. Consciousness may not even be the right word…

In this case I’m not defining consciousness as simply being awake, but instead defining it as the perspective from which each individual perceives the universe.

That sounds like a form of last Thursdayism. The entire universe could’ve been created last Thursday with everything made to seem older, including everyone’s memories. These philosophies are usually shot down by occam’s razor.

If you make a perfectly exact replica of yourself do you suddenly perceive the universe from two perspectives?
