That would mean that their gods would be wrong. It would also make their gods subservient to their subjects. If gods did exist, and they created and understood life and the universe, it would be very odd telling these gods that they need to change their stories to agree with current human...

One thing I often mention, which can't be repeated enough, is that good science can predict when applied. So if someone believes in a scientific conclusion, but all or most of the predictions that come from this conclusion end up failing, then it is poor science.

I believe that every student should be required to take a stats course. It's amazing how gullible people are when they are presented with stats. I have seen stats presented with less than 10 participants yet presented as reliable. And if the statistic seems to agree with someone's opinion...

Yep. But NBC decided to be misleading in their title on purpose.

And if you won't take my word for anything I've said, do take the word of Richard Horton, editor of the Lancet. "The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects...

I don't recall ever saying that I "believed in science". It's because I don't trust scientific research, especially in my own country. Why? Because it is so corrupt. It also so flawed. It is influenced by money, the media and politics among other factors. Let me give you a few examples...

I have to say, you sure do ask good questions!

Feel free to do some research. I just know the laws of my own country. But I'm certain that any monarchy, socialist nation, or communist nation would have state run media that would be more than forthcoming with unbiased information of legal action taken against them for forcing a Covid...

In our country the main person responsible for disinformation has been pardoned for the entirety of his work on this virus. He's untouchable for any crime he committed from January 2014 to the present. This is the first time in our country that a president laid out blanket pardons for crimes...

But we have given supporting data. And given evidence from professionals in these fields. We are not "fringe". Flat earthers and Moon landing hoaxers don't have any of this. They just have their opinions, TikTok videos, etc.

My experience has varied by state and city. I have a daughter with many health issues. She has had many visits to the ER. Most of the time she has been admitted within minutes. But one year we were on vacation in Florida. We spent 6 hours in the ER before we could be seen. Thankfully she...

You are correct. Often those with insurance are charged double the price of those who don't have insurance. It has to do with the negotiations between the insurance companies and the providers. It's somewhat complicated, but you are definitely not imagining it. In some cases it actually does...

Yep! One goal. Making money was just a happy coincidence.

Can I assume that you are NOT saying that those who disagree with you on this matter are the equivalent of "flat earthers' and those who believe the moon landing was faked?

Some people have reported an allergy to pork after having Lyme disease. Or at least that's my experience. If I eat pork I will be sick the rest of the day. This started when I had Lyme disease. I have a few friends who have had the same issue.

I am honest, open, straightforward, polite, and patient with my neighbors. I try to be there for them whenever I can. As I get to know my neighbors, I get to know how they want to be treated. So if a neighbor just wants to be left alone, then I leave them alone. If a neighbor wants to be...

Yes, that they are legally obligated to COMPLY. https://www.pcworld.com/article/2861037/sam-altman-just-made-the-best-argument-for-not-using-chatgpt.html Right away in the article it states "OpenAI is required to legally disclose what you've told ChatGPT if subpoenaed".

Did you know that chatbots are legally obligated to respond to subpoenas for whatever information you share with them? So be careful what you ask them or what you use them for. So if you ask ChatGPT the best way to rob a bank, and you are now a suspect in a bank robbery, ChatGPT has to hand...

I meant to add something to what I said later. As I stated earlier, I have been looking at older posts. So if you are a veteran member here, and you notice that I have been liking old posts of yours, this is why. I'm not stalking any of you. Sorry to disappoint.

Now and then I search for subjects on this forum to see what has been discussed. Some of the past users really had some interesting insights, great senses of humor, and really demonstrated their unique character. I can see why you miss them so much. It would have been nice to chat with them.
