Hey, this isn't about religion. I don't care about pissing of Muslims. But I'm a part time library aide, and I took an oath to take care of the books. This is about people disrespecting books, and god I want to slam them with late fees or something. Librarians unite!

To all LOR members from the east coast: My name is /b/artleby, and I don't care much for politics. I prefer math, and science, and computers. But there comes a point when one cannot just sit back and do nothing. Things are happening which can not be ignored, and despite the fact that I have no...

You spelled "defense" incorrectly.

A mathematics/philosophy teacher with a good knowledge of logic and who quotes Bertrand Russell... you are certainly a welcome addition! Because I can't resist finishing the quote, "The elementary grammatical mistake of confounding this with the simple plurality of a given triad made the...

You say that like it's a problem or something...

Re: The Most Effective Universal System of Punishment: Isola You see, that's the thing TSH. It really doesn't take that much time at all. You see, any loss of social skills makes it harder to fit in. If you have a wolf which used to be an alpha, a beta, or even middle of the pack, they can...

How will this be difficult? If my preferences differ from someone else's, only mine actually matter. I don't see what's so difficult about that...

How dare you? The nazis worked very hard on those codes, how dare you compare them to this, um, <choice of expletive>? I mean, just 'cause they're nazis doesn't mean you have to be cruel... Also, there's not really much left you can say, over the course of three threads, and over 30 pages...

Re: The Most Effective Universal System of Punishment: Isola Here's a fun fact: When I was a boy, I had 15 dogs and my parents forced me to take an endless number of dog training courses. Now, let me ask you something TheSkepticalHeretic. Do you know what happens to lone wolves? A wolf which...

I'm for censorship, but only to censor that which I find unpleasant. Anything else is entirely unjustified. Also, most importantly, I am completely against the censorship of anything that would cause inconvenience for me.

Not if the God can dance... *note* I do not endorse the works of Friedrich Nietzsche

Holy shit CommanderEagle, your 300th post! This deserves some celebrating...

Don't forget the vasopressin, and certainly not the debilitating drop in serotonin levels! Don't forget obsession, and intense physiological pain caused by a mutation in the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex common to most mammals! Don't forget stalking love, or the love that causes someone to...

Just because something doesn't "exist" doesn't mean it can't be used in a language. A unicorn doesn't exist, yet a bear does, but even if no bears existed the concept of what a bear is is the same. The mathematical constants are words, and they are complex data. The power of a mathematical...

Emergent does not mean "it emerged" emergence is a mathematical concept. Here is a really rough description of how it applies Suppose I were to take twenty people, and give each of them a numbered card. Now if I were to give each person a list of instructions... If the person to your right has...

*shrug* I like to keep people on their toes...

Hey realisoph, Throughout this entire thread, you have made vague claims about how the modern view of the scientific method is somehow flawed. You have claimed that scientists need to look beyond mathematics, and have made numerous claims to the effect that mathematics is insufficient. You have...

@monitoradiation Wow, I always thought that I was somewhat of a grammar nazi, but you seriously take the cake...

Thank you, that is a really nice thing to say! Ok, first of all, "in-form-ates" is not a word. As I said before, etymologies can be misleading, especially with regard to science. Second of all, no. No they don't. "The laws of physics" is a model which has steadily been improved throughout...
