No it isn't vague. You're talking about energies and speeds that wouldn't just rip molecules apart but rip the electrons off the atoms. If Haley's comet came from Earth.

I'm pretty sure the point is that the amount of energy involved is well beyond anything that is plausible.

Finally, in response to pages 595-596, GPT gave the following response, which, once again, it's too dissimilar to the arguments I made before... This section is considerably more mathematically careful than most people would expect, but the core issue is still the same: A mathematically...

In response to pages 589-590, GPT's response mirrors some of my previous arguments... This section is trying to argue that the escaping “supercritical water” jets in the Hydroplate Theory would naturally behave like rocket exhaust and become extremely cold as they expanded into near-vacuum...

Well, I'm not mathematician so I plugged a few of those pages into Chat GPT and had it analyze both the math and the argument. Here's what it said... "The problem is not simple arithmetic. The problem is the model’s assumptions. The argument assumes that long-term comet orbital perturbations...

Monarchy is an entirely different issue. You can have a capitalist economy in several types of government. A constitutional monarchy would work great with a capitalist economy. The question is only what the laws are. If the laws are just then there would be no conflict with a free market economy...

Crony Capitalism is a term assigned to our system mostly by leftists. In actual fact, it is the only sort of Capitalism that has ever been tried for any lengthy period of time and it, as imperfect as it is, has produced a society with the highest quality of life the world has ever seen, by...

If Capitalism is likened to the game of football, the free market is the field on which it is played. A free market is a necessary, but not a sufficient condition for capitalism. Capitalism is when private parties, whether individuals or corporations, produce, own, and distribute the goods and...

Umm, it's only the 13th of May and yesterday was Wednesday, not Thursday.

Well, a rose by any other name, right? So, I actually got interrupted yesterday and failed to finish making the point I intended to make. That point being that if a capitalist society were actually allowed to mature out of its initial stages, you wouldn't be able to draw it as a pyramid at...

The point of your graphic is well taken and survives the following point, however... There has never been a mature, truly capitalist society. The closest world history has come to it was the first 100 years of America and it was barely out of diapers before the socialists had their hooks deeply...

There's no question that they are the worst ones! It's madness!

I get accused of hostility at the drop of a hat! Totally innocuous posts of purely logical arguments that don't begin to touch anything that could remotely be considered personal in any respect are responded to as if I was screaming mad and calling people Nazi and other N words. Christian...

Excellent example!

People used to be able to speak in generalities as a matter of course and people simply understood that it was a generality. Now everything has to be so explicit. Then when you're explicit, you're get accused of being hostile. Our society is disintegrating before our very eyes.
