I think she's describing Hume's Guillotine (http://www.philosophy-index.com/hume/guillotine/), or the is-ought problem, which is that certain statements describe what "is" and other describe what "ought to be", but you can't go from one to the other.

So it's raining outside. And if you go out side without a coat you'll get cold. So you ought to put a coat on?

Depends if you care about getting cold. The first two are facts, the last one is a choice, and the facts can't tell you what you want. The heart wants what the heart wants.

You sir, are a moron and traitor to the US.

Patriots don’t violently attack their own government and representatives because they lost an election. That is the opposite of patriotism. It’s called insurgence.

Democratic tyranny? Is that what you ass hats are calling elections now? Only when you lose them. Interesting you had no problem when the minority, the party that received fewer votes and was representing far less than 1/2 the population was tyrannical. Clearly you support being treasonous, anti constitutional and despotic if it’s your guy.

Redcoats? So real American patriots, you know, the kind that stands WITH the US and election results even when they lose, not against it, are now considered invading British monarchists and those that wish to dispose of elections to install an unelected monarch for life by force are the defenders of democracy? You need a history lesson, buddy. You would fail a 6th grade civics quiz. You’re arguing at or below Bob level.

Edit : Perhaps I misunderstand you....by patriots do you mean those who stood against the Trump insurrection, and by democratic tyranny are you referencing the treasonous Trumpsters and the Republicans who legislated as if on a vendetta against over 1/2 the country? In that case you’re right....and many were wearing their red MAGA coats and hats to prove the point.

in general, hindu eschatology resembles the big bang/crunch. the cycle of expansion from a single point only to collapse to another single point and another expansion. these cycles are billions of years apart. (also some idea - that's too fuzzy to recall in detail - about matter changing and slipping into an alternative dimension might be a model of the great beyond)

will use Russell Bertrand - although not a poet, have read poetry that echos this thought (not gonna search) almost verbatim - when he said, “The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.” this was pretty much summed up the Dunning-Kruger Effect. (https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/355363-one-of-the-painful-things-about-our-time-is-that)

the other you noted. meditation is healthy. of note, Sufism tends to focus on intense focusing, in music and song...and some of the musicians are peachy keen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QRivHR0c28

and the poetry is beautiful (EX: Rumi). so religion has spawned some good things, too.

in short, religion is no more destructive than the person implementing it. do believe in ideas. whether it comes from a white cassock or lab coat. such is the freedom to keep a mind free.

or take it up w/René Descartes*. he seemed to be better at it than I.

*Descartes died when he was run over by a horse-drawn coach. This is where the saying "Don't put Descartes in front of the horse."

BTW: Earle song?

I saw a video on Twitter of the carnage pretty close to ground zero. The ground was covered with that gray dust like the kind that coated NYC after 9/11; a total moonscape. The person taking the video showed that there were bodies and parts of bodies everywhere.

Also, 2.7kt is pretty damned impressive, considering Ft Man was like 12kt.

Sculptures hypnotically reasonably good.
Music hypnotically bad.
Editing and subtitles awakeningly mediocre.

I mean "it uses motion to achieve a specific effect".

Interesting how anything with a shiny metal surface looks like a statue, like something with value. A coat of paint instantly makes the same object look like a stupid toy.

I found it astonishing to learn that the depiction from HBO's Watchmen was, if anything, sugar coated and not an exaggeration at all.

It's like having a fur coat and then wearing another fur coat.

Upvoted for the coat switch, they both looked better!

Don't sugar coat it, man.

Great message on the back of the coat towards the end. Really makes this!

The leaves are irrelevant, they grow back.

As far as rotten ones, they don't have rotten ones, they're heavily coated in pesticides - The future of tomorrows food!

I totally over thought that. Picturing you on break sitting at your desk in your white lab coat at some university watching videos on VS trying to calculate the erosion affect of sound and vibration on granules of sand to determine how long it would take before they would have to change the sand again and maybe offer a better quality and grade in the future.

Don't do that man. Although it wasn't your intent, you exposed me as a "duh."

I agree.
What I think it was was an acid bath, rinse, and maybe a coat of clear enamel or something to make it smoother? That's just a guess based on a minimal knowledge of metallurgy. Acid is often used to bring out patterns in cut meteorites and patterned steel.
