Oof now you cut to the quick. Exactly right, unfortunately.

Argument coherence and the truth of facts are unrelated (I would also recommend reading previous posts). "Blue dogs are blue" is a coherent argument, independent of the existence of blue dogs.

I'm sorry for whatever happened to you. I can't restart your heart, I'm not qualified.

Sure thing. I started it by asserting you were a moron who hadn't taken a physics course. Oops, no I responded to an accusation.

As an aside: am I just supposed to be nice to fuck-wits fueled by overconfidence? I'm autistic, so it's almost a genuine question.

In response: SA worries about the abuse of the elderly inherent in American politics. Making the obviously senile perform tricks for corrupt handouts is just cruelty.

I have a PhD, I work at a university. So you could take my course. But you would have to be able do the maths, and understand some physics. Difficult, I know, but thems the breaks.

Weird that the truth isn't a democracy though. I don't think physics would have got anywhere if all that mattered is what is "highly regarded". The case of Thomas Young is very instructive in this regard.

Okay, explain to me what the standard deviation of time is. I will pre-empt nonsense, just "time", not just time in reference to the duration of a finite process. It must be abstract and universal, like the position-momentum case.

Untestable universes is not a rejoinder to "stop thinking" it's just another way to achieve it

The onion has to be funny, not just dumb. It isn't the Babylon bee.

I literally had an Israel defender on reddit agree that black people under apartheid should have accepted it for "peace". I live in south Africa, fuck Nazis, even the Jewish ones.

Irony: Jewish people in SA were a big part of anti-apartheid efforts; all the while Israel was apartheid's biggest mate (after Thatcher and Reagan got cold feet of course, don't feel too righteous in the anglosphere).

It wouldn't work, even in principle. They want to force you to live by their lunacy. It would be totally pointless if they couldn't exert power over the unwilling.
