Two German Guys Ride a TINY Elevator

Babymech says...

Parisians with mild claustrophobia must be the fittest folk around, then since the thought of getting stuck in that space should make anyone who's even slightly fazed by confined spaces take the stairs...

thats pretty normal for a Parisian apartment block. you can just about get one person and luggage case. My advice is to get some exercise!

Really Cool, Old and Super Dangerous Elevator

David Mitchell Argues about Stationary Escalators

Zawash says...

I usually take normal stairs two steps at a time, so the higher escalator steps (where I only take a single step at a time) actually are the lower ones for me. Would that mean that I get a higher momentum and speed at the top from walking up an escalator than ordinary stairs, then?

David Mitchell is not entirely accurate here I think (but certainly more accurate then Mr missed-his-name).
Escalator steps are not meant to be walked on, see e.g. here:
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-debate/that-stopped-escalator-its-a-tougher-climb/article623713/

So if you walk up a stationary escalator, the average person will have a lot harder time than on a regular staircase, so there will be less forward momentum at the top.

They're not 'difficult' to answer. They're impossible to answer because they don't actually make logical sense. The fact that you think they do make sense is actually kind of disturbing.

They're very simple questions. How do you account for the laws of logic, which are immaterial, unchanging and absolute, in a material universe which is always changing?

How do you account for the uniformity in nature? How do you know the future will be like the past?

It is not a 'leap of faith' to disbelieve that which cannot be proved. If you'd paid attention before (I know it's hard, but try) you'd have realized that your argument leads to madness. If you insist on believing in God, and your sole argument is that the existence of God cannot be disproved, then you should, by all right believe in every single bit of nonsensical information which comes along. Why do you take the stairs out from your apartment building instead of flying out the window? You can't prove that you cannot fly to work by flapping your arms (or, you can, but only if you try). You cannot prove that bashing your head with a hammer is bad for your health (again, not without trying it). The list of things you cannot disprove is infinite. Why choose that one and reject all the others?

You seem to have trouble following the conversation. My sole argument for God isn't that He cannot be disproved, my evidence for your faith in atheism is that He cannot be disproved. You outright deny God exists and you have no evidence for it, therefore it is a leap of faith.

You have not proved your case, no matter what you seem to think, and no amount of word salad will help you.

Unless you have something cogent and substantive to add I am done. Go hit yourself in the head with a hammer if you want to prove me wrong.


You've proven my case for me. You've admitted yout blind faith in atheism, and then you try to justify it by conflating the issue by saying belief in God is equivilent to belief in fairies, which is false. God has explanatory power, fairies explain exactly nothing. Then you try to trivilaize the question by equating it with any number of meaningless statements, which is also false. To ask whether the Universe has an intelligent causation is a legitimate question, and God is a legitimate answer to that question.

>> ^shinyblurry:

So in other words, you have no evidence that God doesn't exist so it is a leap of faith. I appreciate your candor. I also appreciate that you were unable to answer of my questions. They're very difficult questions for someone who has worldview founded on blind faith.

I, for one, welcome our new futurechair overlords.

If this does end up like the segway, though.....well, here's an example: the only people who have segways in my city are the policemen, who then use them IN THE SIDEWALK WITH PEDESTRIANS ON and make vague threats ("obstructing justice") at you if you don't move out of the way when you fail to hear them come up behind you. I think that our pedestrian patrol cops are a lot like daleks in that way: do a robbery, take some stairs, and you've made a clean getaway.
