I would be among the 28% who voted for: "* Other-I believe something not represented on this poll." The following explanation indicates the OP is not able to think outside the box, even though it is relatively available to anyone really seeking to find this kind of explanation. In an effort...

The more you study it, the less it verifies itself, and the more it expresses cognitive dissonance. Arguably, there are two quite different gospels trying to emerge from the book, the context of one trying to bury the context of the other. For example, there are plenty of indicators exposing...

If you read the rest of what the apostate Paul said here, we can see he is suffering from cognitive dissonance: "For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are...

Really no excuse after you see these:

After seeing this, you have no excuse.

Sounds like the State of Virginia will only allow, by statute, $350,000 of the $5 million punitive the jury levied against Heard. But that may not be as easily dischargeable in bankruptcy. It took the jury ten minutes to come up with those figures. Probably not well deliberated, possibly...

Both have made statements; Heard on Twitter, Depp on Instagram. Heard has turned off replies on Twitter. Headlines already twisting the results for Heard. The $2 mill in her favor was in regards a lawyer, or former lawyer making public statements about how Heard decieved police in regards...

Pretty much. He will be owed $10-13 million

In favor of Johnny Depp: $10 million compensatory. $5 million punitive. In favor of Ms Heard: $2 million compensatory $0 punitive

Jury forgot to fill in damages and compensation. About to reveal...

Interesting. As one more thought experiment, i would challenge anyone to observe any phenomena, and think how it can be weaponized. I suggest that anything that faith produces can be weaponized: A tree, for example, can be weaponized. Cut it up into lumber. Criss-cross beams, and nail...

It's comparable to movies. All of the drama contained in movies is only possible due to a lack of knowledge. You answer the phone, for example, and say, "Hello?", because you don't know whose calling, or what they want. Drama, and knowledge, cannot coexist. This is why, when we are...

For example, a tree, a rock, a mountain, a planet, a star, and galaxy, a worm hole. These are faith-based phenomena. We can observe them, study them, run experiments and see if some phenomena repeats. Then we can get a degree and call that knowledge. But it remains the observation of...

Whenever i might have two hours to spare for a scientist. Science is basically the observation of faith-based phenomenon, attempting to derive knowledge from the observation of persistent, repeating phenomena. But the phenomena generated by faith is vast. You really have to be humble...

I am proposing that the domain of faith comprises the entire domain of imagination. Within this domain arises a new set of "laws" that generally predict how the smallest of particles will behave. It gets blurry: Is it a wave of light, or, is it a particle. Is it a particle, or a wave of...

As a thought experiment, i would challenge anyone to contemplate conditions that cannot co-exist. I believe this kind of exercise is needed to overcome the laziness of cognitive dissonance, which accepts double-minded mixing and mashing. The most famous of these thought experiments has been...

I wouldn't say i listen to the fud anymore than average person. What i perceive are grey, curtained off areas of the unknown that challenge comprehension. It's like the game of Monopoly where nobody questions just exactly how the bank came up with all that money to begin with, but without, it...

The way it is described here, sounds like the entire crypto-sphere of exchanges have been astro-turfed with a common "stable" coin to facilitate pan-exchange arbitrage across the global frontier. I would admit arbitrage is important...important enough we wouldn't want it to suddenly stop if...

Good point. Maybe the main metric should be how fast is the conversion from the coin to dollar-in-hand. It just seems to me that the Feds have a lot of interest in the money-changing metric. I'ld like to know how anybody else, other than an actual bank, with some legal amount of capital on...

I still don't get the stable coin concept. What would motivate anyone to put billions of $ to supposedly "back" a coin that would other wise be...unstable? Who mines Tether? Where do the fees go? Are there even fees? Do two people mine it? And why is this backing so important? Oh, I can...
