| I always dreamed of learning to do proofs of higher level Mathematical concepts. I wonder if knowing how to do these proofs would bring me closer to God. Some people say that mathmatical proofs are simply a formalized deductive rationalization of intuitively obvious truths. My favorite branch of ma... |

| Not explicitly. Learning mathematical proofs is merely a method to determine the aspects of the universe as set by us. In other words, mathematics was and is our tool to extract truth from the seeming chaotic nature of the universe. It will allow us to gravitate towards the truth of the reality of ... |

| I think most racist people know their racist they just don’t think it’s wrong. Or they have just taken that word with pride and learned to wear it because they believe people are bullying them when they call them racist but they still don't see it. They think they are being called racist because th... |

| I'm not saying SJW isn't a thing, I'm saying it's a buzz phrase like a lot of other neocon talking points. It doesn't have one definition, it has no criteria and thus no clear meaning. Therefore, it has no use and should not be discussed. Autism is a real thing that arguably has less clear meaning ... |

| I think we need to be crystal clear as to what constitutes hate speech. Calls to violence should definitely fall under that category, as should Holocaust denial/defense. Should Bible verses such as Leviticus 18:22 or 1 Corinthians 14:34 (and similar verses in the Quran) fall under the hate speech c... |

| You're right about some of what you said about the video, because annoyingly this video is clearly speaking to the target audience, with the wider references to SJWs rather than just what people said in the video, instead of just what is actually in the video, rather than speaking to someone like y... |

| Premonitions are simply the law of averages at work; if you have a thousand dreams, what are the chances that not one of them at least vaguely occurs? Premonitions always feel different to me than regular dreams, and the details seem far too specific to be mere coincidence. They also tend to come t... |

| Very good posts from League_Girl and ASPartOfMe. There's one thing left I can think of which is dangerous. Once you apologise when you do nothing wrong, now, in the worst case, they own you. Because you just set the precedent. You just said you did wrong. You just said you were racist / sexist, etc... |

Love these fairly ridiculous polls. I guess five black guys is a reference to that meme image? Maybe?
Lost it to a partner when I was 19.

No, but I've always wanted to try it. I don't know what would work for me, I think something heavy like metal if we were just straight at it but slower, more sensual music like classical, jazz, and the like if we eased into it.
Same question. |

| By agreement, the astrologer needed to get ten of the 12 correct, to win. He got none correct. Geeze. You would think, even without any psychic powers, you would be able to figure out at least a few people, based on their personality alone. Maybe he wasn't given enough time to really feel them out.... |
