- How do we define/recognize valid measures of evidence?
In the case of the chemtrail faithful I can safely
characterize their measure (singular) of evidence as: "Look!
See the chemtrails? 'They' are trying to poison us!!!"
No argument there.... but *why* are they trying to poison us!!!
Wait... I'm on the skeptics side... nevermind...
- Is the current "exponential" growth in tech
divergent or convergent?
I believe that the true source of divergence (in what? you
might ask, in everything, I might answer: politics,
technology, religion, ...) is that too many people are
complete, embarrassingly ignorant assholes.
And just what is your measure of evidence about what the
multi-objective function of
complete, embarassing, ignorant, and
asshole? And what *does* the pareto frontier of that look
like in these 4 dimensions? Anyone who doesn't understand the
question or it's import are
complete, embarassingly ignorant
assholes (by one measure)!
You are most welcome (as always)... anything else you would like me
to ask <grin>?
For some reason this last line of yours makes me imagine that you
are channelling Doug(las) Adams (aka Roberts?):
"So Long and Thanks for All the Fish!"
by
Douglas Adams (RIP)
So long and thanks for all the fish
So sad that it should come to this
We tried to warn you all but oh dear?
You may not share our intellect
Which might explain your disrespect
For all the natural wonders that
grow around you
So long, so long and thanks
for all the fish
The world's about to be destroyed
There's no point getting all annoyed
Lie back and let the planet dissolve(around you)
Despite those nets of tuna fleets
We thought that most of you were sweet
Especially tiny tots and your
pregnant women
So long, so long, so long, so long, so long
So long, so long, so long, so long, so long
So long, so long and thanks
for all the fish
If I had just one last wish
I would like a tasty fish
If we could just change one thing
We would all learn how to sing
Come one and all
Man and Mammal
Side by Side in life's great gene pool
(oooohhh oooohhh oooaahhhhh- ah ahh)
So long, so long, so long, so long, so long
So long, so long, so long, so long, so long
So long, so long and, !Thanks!
for all the fish!
