Colbert Nails Author of The Purpose Driven Life

[SirPhilip]

What isn't popular?-- your reading comprehension classes or Joobz, FZ, and I? Preference of? Or preference for?

Clearly the reading comprehension classes.

 

[SirPhilip]

Actually, it isn't reasonable to assume that at all because what is ejaculated was not participating in the brain chemistry. it's like a gasoline tanker.

Aptly written and concise response. Is that so much to ask? No errors in reasoning either, and could explain why fatigue is considerably less when retained. Keep in mind we have two situations here. One is which everyone is familiar, the other is very uncommon. It is very unlikely prolactin alone at least from what I can tell offhand, is responsible for the acute antagonization that occurs when this process is reversed. The 'mood lift' is more or less synonymous in character with adrenaline and testosterone fluctuations.

With that said, a study monitoring prolactin and testosterone levels would definitely be in order.

Just curious - but what Old Testament laws are trying to be imposed on you? And is it the laws or the laws and the punishments that are trying to being imposed on you?

The laws of each of the other cultures mentioned are mercifully and rightly consigned to the dustbin of history.

The Christian churches representing the majority of Christians in the world are insisting that these books are the word of God.

Some senior figures in Australia'a state religion wants to move us closer to these laws. A regular columnist in Australia's largest broadsheet newspaper suggested that if our new Prime Minister really was a Christian as he claimed, then he would consult the Bible before making any decisions about making laws. He specifically mentioned Leviticus.

So are western democracies in imminent danger of introducing the death penalty for gays? No.

But is it fair to target the ancient Judaic laws over the laws of surrounding cultures?

While people still insist they are the inerrant word of God then it is absolutely fair.

For someone who has no idea how to use a comma you sure think very highly of yourself, Sir. Maybe one day you'll stop trying to convince us all of how smart you are and just answer a question or two honestly and directly.

 

[arthwollipot]

what was the topic again? just sayin'.

Not sure. I lost track some time ago. Want some popcorn?

Do you need extra, um, butter?

I wonder if he teaches a class on quantum superposition too.

 

[Foster Zygote]

You'll go straight to Hell for that. Of course, you'll be able to eat all the popcorn you want as they show Short Circuit on an infinite loop.

 

[Wheezebucket]

I'm pretty sure that's Heaven you're referring to. And not just because Short Circuit has the guy from Hackers in it...

...but mostly because of that.

Now you can forget that. How am I supposed to explain quantum superposition to people who want to think I use commas incorrectly or I don't answer honestly or directly.

Flattery appreciated, but my actual concern is I'm never direct enough, and being interested in language it's reflected in how overly compact I write (often to the point of quirk, as others have noted). Smart people can actually tell that by the way.

You don't use commas correctly. And quantum superposition does not state that we are simultaneously alive and dead, as you claimed. Irwin Schrödinger himself expressed bemusement that some, like yourself, had reached that conclusion.

purpose driven life and you best life now

I could, but they serve better conversational and narrative stops, so there.

And quantum superposition does not state that we are simultaneously alive and dead, as you claimed.

Something which is alive is observed distinct from being dead in that it has self-arising volition, or more fundamentally, movement. If all possible matter states (perhaps as information, conceptually you could use bits) exist, no forward movement in time would occur. You would have a bounded, static omniverse. Since we are made of matter, essentially reducible to information, and an intractable quality that allows self-movement, we are in fact really neither dead or alive. Either conceptualization has it's parallels to some human experience, an excellent illustration of this contrast was depicted in the Terminator films.

Irwin Schrödinger himself expressed bemusement that some, like yourself, had reached that conclusion.

Probably because his experiments simply involved finite matter interaction, and didn't actually address anything philosophical. It did however provide a valid analogy.

Thanks, that made my day.

 

[SirPhilip]

Thanks, that made my day.

You're welcome.
