That could also be quite relevant. It does rather seem that fairness should be conditional/subjective. At least some of the time.

Perhaps not. However, the question remains - can/should equity be ignored when considering the objectivity/subjectivity of fairness?

That seems fair...

What about equity? Is it fair to give each child one cookie if one of them is starving?

Comprehensive critical thinking takes effort. Letting others do your thinking for you is much easier.

He voted for a scorpion. He got a scorpion. He should be happy that he got what he voted for.

Last month I did a little experiment.

I wanted to see how the exact same post would perform on both X (Twitter) and Bluesky.

The results were...interesting...

He may not frame it as such, but he's essentially speaking to the fears of those he sees as the easiest to manipulate. Primarily because they are.

He thinks he's a king.

Exactly

I’ll never forget hearing from people, eager to help & already active in this field, whose calls were not even returned.

I would add to that: the need to be part of a 'special group'. When humans fund groups that make them feel 'special', they will reshape themselves rather than risk being expelled.

Atheism is not a religion.
Atheism is not a worldview.
Atheism has no dogma.
Atheism has no tenets.

Atheists are just not convinced by any God claims.

That's it. That's all.

Indeed. If they are so sure of their faith, they should have no problem considering counterarguments. Which could help to put an end to the endless cyclic regurgitation of nonsense.

Clearly, there has been a memo circulating the apologists' circles.

Philosophists are the worst for that.

A far more reasonable explanation than anything requiring an '[entity] as an external cause'.

I had the same concerns. How close does the material need to be in order for time dilation to be 'averaged out'? Also, just how much of a factor difference would there be? It sounds like a complex system.

If the material was already within the gravity well of proto-Earth, then it may have been that there wasn't a huge difference.

"... along with the other two who have just turned up randomly."

Surely that has been considered before? Which begs the question of why it was dismissed so readily for an 'energy' only identifiable by its 'effect'?

But can we leave after?

A Merry Christmas to you all.

And a hope for a better New Year for all of us.

Yay! Progress.

Without free will, the con of sin has no traction. They really failed to think that one through.

It also seems like a plausible explanation as to why 'dark matter' is supposed to be the way it is.

I wonder if they would say the same about the Pyramids? After all, they are religious buildings.
