What kind of salt is it?

That makes me a sad panda. :/

I wasn't arguing against that. I was arguing against your statement that direct experience is the most reliable method of discernment available. It's clearly not. If you meant that to refer to subjective truth then it's a tautology and meaningless. You have made fairly absolute statements about...

Either you're changing the subject or we aren't having the same conversation. I wasn't talking about likes and dislikes. I was talking about the most reliable epistemic practices. My opinion about coffee is subjective and not concerned with the pursuit of truth (by which I mean objective truth)...

I'm surprised nobody else has graffitied your page. There's juan down below me. You need more graffiti.

BB made a comment in another about rabbis: It got me thinking that it might be interesting to discuss the role of a rabbi. Clearly there's some distinction to be made between a rabbi as a halachist vs a rabbi in any other role, where the needs of the community have shifted over time. What I'd...

Well said.

Hey Avi, have you ever considered how vulgar "double-slit experiment" sounds? In all seriousness though, I like beer. Tao, while we're on the subject, what makes scotch whisky so much tastier than Irish whiskey?

Joe, I'm aware that there are various Christian views in which Jesus is identified in some way with the godhead. There are opinions that yes, that person would still be a Noahide. Technically we're all Noahides by definition, whether or not we're adherents to the laws of noah. But I mean it in...
