  1. +10^100,000,000,000,000 Awesome points

  2. I’m sorry for your loss. I cried.

  3. You have great taste in breakup music

  1. I am afraid of the hyperinflation in points this might cause. Also, I’m fairly sure that the database can’t remember that many points, as ints are bounded on the upper limit as 2^16.

  2. I am sorry too. Good thing I still have the memories and the hope…

  3. I try my best.

Its great to mock out of ignorance isnt it? Harr harr harr I dont understand because I’ve never bothered to find out

I didn’t come out and say it because I figured you had a flock of people already. I didn’t come here to make enemies.

It’s not the message I think is relevant (I am at least Deist). Rather the wording. Idk why, but I found the wording funny.

Idk why, but I found the wording funny.

You started laughing when you saw the “f-word” didn’t you?

No, it was on “mortgage.” Idk why, but shovel and mortgage were so unexpected for me that my mind bugged out and made no sense of it. Just the semantic ambiguity was so… weird. Maybe also because I’m interested in computational linguistics and my brain associated the verb “hit” with no subcategorization frame.

I agree. The randomness of shovel/mortgage stood out to me as well. But still… he said the f-word!

Whatever bullshit there is surrounding the facts of Hiroshim and Nagasaki, the fact is that innumerable innocents were destroyed or burnt up in merciless, wanton “strategic bombing” raids, the most deadly of which were delivered not by the supposed bad-guys but by the Allies. The nuclear bomb with its promise of push-button erasure of entire cities is the ultimate statist fantasy come true. Such weapons are inherently aggressive and it should be a crime for anyone - especially an established government - to possess them in anything even resembling working order. This should be an obvious, no-compromise goal of all libertarians everywhere.

Three speeches by Michael Crichton:

Aliens Cause Global Warming

Environmentalism as Religion

The Case for Skepticism on Global Warming


The first two are awesome. The third is a bit of a rehash of the first two, but then Crichton adds some new material as he analyses some global warming nonsense. I highly recommend reading at least the first two.

ya i read state of fear when it came out, and really enjoyed it. Have you read it? What you posted is probably his findings from his research before the release of the book.

got to add this to my ‘to do’ list.

Yeah I loved State of Fear. I know the Aliens Caused Global Warming came out before the book, and it’s less about facts and more about method. The third speech has more facts in it.

YOUR HELP NEEDED:

There’s a YT vid that’s been posted on the forums a few times (I think I’ve even posted it once!) and I simply CANNOT locate it!

The video is about emergent order and the needlessness of central planning; it is accompanied by short video clips to support the naration. It starts out by imagining getting to know the cells in your body… something like “the cells in your body may not seem like people but if you could get to know them, you would think they were people, with all the cooperation, in-fighting, conspiracies, etc. constantly going on between them… yet without this chaos, this conflict, you would not exist” and then it goes on to discuss the example of a garden… “if you try to eliminate the snails, then the birds won’t come around and put manure in the garden” etc.
