Do you expect anything else from the WoW community?

I don't like the iphone just because it's with att. I like android because it does more and there are more free apps. If iphone moves to another service I will still prefer the android phones. This negates your argument that the iphone is infinately more popular and I'm sure I'm not the only one tha...

Yeah, this was awesome. Nice directing. There's nothing that gets me in the mood for some pvp more than a good video like this. I wonder why more films don't have giant space fleet battles like this. Even stuff like starwars seems small scale or with too short of sequences. The first movie that come...

This is something I'm interested in at the moment. I've had difficulty dealing with several friends recently because of the topic of absolutes. It would be nice to have some additional logical and scientific evidence to back my claims of absolute mechanisms.

Allow me to pick the low hanging fruit on the environmental regulation question. I'll start with placer gold. That is the gold that is taken from streams. Traditionally placer gold was collected by manual panning, then sluicing machines, and then someone got the bright idea to use mercury. Mercury ...

Perhaps, you were really asking if Logic is based on reality or based on nothing. This is a complicated manner, though. Here is just a few short quotes to give you places to look into. It does seem I've mislabled what I really meant to say specifically with the use of the terms physical and metaphy...

Last night I had a heated discussion about the nature of logic or rather how we can know about it and develop it in our minds. Granted, we were both drinking a little bit, so our arguments were both lacking when it came to sound logical reasoning. My position was that logic was metaphysical existing...

My art is music. Help me out Hieder…. Menudo art or not art? Menudo good art or bad art? BTW can you mimic that guitar piece, Mediterranean Sundance (Paco's link above)? Back to if photography is art. I think corporate ensembles and most pop music groups in that vein are more like photographs than ...

Artist here. I make art. I love my art and use it to entertain myself. I doubt it would market, and I don't buy art that is similar to mine, though, I do try to make my art in the style of other people's art as a learning tactic. Making in the style of others, mimicing, is a way to learn tricks to a...

I think the biggest problem probably stems from the idea of what a war is in these days. Sure, the whole conflict has every element to fit the definition of a war, but legally it isn't a war. War declaration takes an act of congress. What we have today, and in subsequent scenarios following WWII, is...

Thanx for moving it. I can see how this could be a deep discussion, but I initially intended just for some casual remarks or response. You're right, he did say that about capitalism or at least it was his general argument, but that's not how libertarians think so he wouldn't be libertarian on that n...

Someone posted a link to John Stossel's blog and how he did a show on Atlas Shrugged. I looked up the show on youtube and gave it a watch last night. It was pretty good. It was done in the fashion of a sort of panel. The audience either supported or (mostly) bashed the political ideals presented in ...

Many people in our Kantian era think, mistakenly, that absolutism is incompatible with a contextual approach to knowledge. These people define an "absolute" as a principle independent of any other fact or cognition; i.e., as something unaffected by anything else in reality or in human kno...

No you are exactly correct and this is the very thing that I am getting at! We are actually in agreement on that point. Inductive reasoning or if an argument contains within itself the evidence that proves the case. This is exactly what foundationalism is. Descartes first philosophy on epistemology ...

The standard for a proof in logic is that the case is completely explained by the given argument. Anything that isn't a complete, bulletproof argument that covers all sides in logical infalably is just evidence to support the case. Making an argument that has been seen to be an explaination for an o...

Read the rest of my post. I explain how I come to that conclusion very completely. Causality must first be proven to be absolute. We can't prove that.

Nice to see another chem major.

Put me in line if I'm being too foundationalist and taking all the fun out of it, but isn't it true that nothing in physical reality can be absolutely proved? I'm often corrected when I use the word "proof" when I should have said "supported". Finding proof in physical reality wo...

Proper English would be yhwh. The third reason it is ineffable because nobody remembers how to pronounce it, presupposing there was indeed a way. I was always told it was done in respect and preservation (or perhaps to prevent the attempted imagination) since finite humans have no way of naming or ...

2: You don't have much time to play EVE because your modern art gallery show is next week and you're all out of random objects to pile together and the monkey who paints your canvases has the flu. But arn't these the type of people you are looking for? Someone who can make a load of cash off of a b...

Hello, I'm a 25 year old student in Alaska. I work for the Alaska Libertarian Party and hold an executive position. I go to school for chemistry, but I had just changed my major from journalism last year. School is my hobby, but so is composing electronic music, playing with fire in a circus, and at...
