    How does one determine, using the scientific method, that the earth is billions of years old?

    That is exactly why I consider ethics to be the discipline which includes philosophy (and all the other disciplines too) in it. Ethics is always about what we're going to do, and not only what we are going to say or think.

    Worth a read (long), interview with retired General PETRAEUS: ... I think that the Biden administration has performed impressively, and I say this as someone who publicly criticized the administration for the decision to withdraw from Afghanistan and the conduct of the withdrawal in August...

    Sorry to hear that man. Definitely talk to your doctor. Ask your doctor how, given your condition, you can safely work with the most weight possible. You've got to engage those large muscle groups, for your health, if at all possible, somehow. After the deadlift and squat, the next exercises...

    Seems like the Russians expected the Ukrainians to surrender quickly and they didn't at all. So now they're like, "Now what?"

    It wasn't an appeal to popularity as if I was appealing to their opinion, it was an appeal to the fact of the matter. They all appear to be OK, with tax burdens significantly higher than ours is. OK. OK. If we basically slash our tax burden down from 35% to 5% our revenues will drop by like...

    People in every other 'developed' country disagree and they all appear to be doing OK. They all have far heavier tax burdens than Americans do. "If", yes, but see above. We aren't at that tax burden yet. I'm not saying we want to actually 'get there', or even approach it, not without at...
