The part where you were able to graduate high school. Oh that's a beutiful one. It's rare you get such clear double think in a single statement. Wonderful. "The validity of the moon landing does not include"....Goes on to list statements literally about the validity of the moon landing. LOL.

Yeah, I was even careful with my wording because I realized he was going to be really stupid again. But again, this is the dude thatthoughtwe sent massive saturn rockets to 'fake' a moon landing. So, yeah. I didn't say he said anything about the Saturn Vs--rather that he thought those...

lol, it is really bad. I said X was wrong, not all the facts contingent on X for their existence! It's actually a new level of delusion for Tan; I'm not sure he even achieved this with Hitman. It's pretty intriguing how far someone will go while trolling (To "Pretend" they are retarded) and/or...

You realize what the rockets were, right? They were the launch vehicles which transported the Apollo space craft into the trajectory needed to reach the moon. These produce about 2 kilotons of energy, and you can feel them launching miles away--there were millions of witnesses to them launching...

Yeah, I'm not getting this. The Saturn 5's went up...If he believed the moon landing was fake, then he must believe those rockets went up in order to help fake the landing. Has he really become delusional? I actually kind of can't wait for his reply--this should be golden.

What in the fuck? I literally quoted where you said you thought the moon landing might not be real....Have you lost it now? LOL.

I hate the quote system, that will link you back to the post where you're clearly asserting that people are telling lies about you claiming the moon landing/911 (You specifically said I lied about this too, before this post. I just let it go because I figured your humiliation had gotten the...

Are you just straight up lying now? Like is that you're new trolling method? Because, much like I tried to tell you during the moon landing 'revelation'--it's not going to work out well for you.

Tan, do you think anyone believes you at this point? I mean really man. Shut the fuck up, you idiot. You will never change the idiocy you displayed. Claiming people are lying about shit that is written in black and white is what's lead to no one taking you seriously. You doubted the moon...

I honestly don't think there are gods. I assume its just magic, and people assigned 'gods' to it as a way to explain it. That article TJT linked earlier makes a good case that some magic event happened that destroyed a moon, and it was the rise of the this notion of gods--one of the meteors hit...

Some things I noticed, all the effects of the children's magic carry the same color (Before they blow up) and the symbols the WW put on the ground correlate to the Weirwood stones.

There are a few articles on it but essentially there is a correlation to every 5k spent and years to divorce--growing shorter with more money spent. Studies didn't show the direct cause of action, though. So who knows. I imagine, as you said, a large debt isn't good for a marriage, since most...

People who spend a lot on weddings are statistically much more likely to divorce.

All the Brans through History, Bran the Builder, Bran the Breaker, Bran the Night King--all areactuallyBran. lol.

Well, if my theory were correct--The Great Other would be just a very powerful set of Green Seers who were collected in one tree and didn't want to end the war. ?A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies,? said Jojen. ?The man who never reads lives only one. The singers of the forest had...

Just my theory. There were a bunch of Child of the Forests who were hooked up to Weirwood trees just like the guy teaching Bran. These were the 'old gods' that people worship (Maybe masters of ice magic? Their duty was to witness and preserve things). They create the white walkers as their...

Don't usually post here, but Cad is spot on in this. Just relaying my experience, my wife and I don't play outside the bedroom--but we have 2 very good (couple) friends who do (They've invited us to a very discrete group of 'wife swap' parties; we've politely turned them down.). One of the guys...

Gamergate. LOL. They really can't help themselves, their religion demands it. So I ask him why he bothers responding to trolls (something he's been doing a lot of around the time of this interview). "It's the same thing that the women went through with Gamergate," he says. "They were just...

See, I think the process is free will--but as Jive said, my semantics behind it are probably different--so for the last few posts I've been talking past Jive and others (I admit) but I think we agree on a fundamental level, just not on a semantic level of what free will is. As an organism we...

Yeah, Harris (Read some of the book on the train) is arguing from the general perspective that we all view ourselves through some ethereal 'consciousness' in your head (Conscious observer) vs your brain. My opinion on this is that it is a non-existent distinction (Which I think is the point...

Yeah, I'm usually with AMD, the price per performance under a certain threshold, especially for 1080p gaming is better. I'm using a 280X now. But will probably go to a 1070 as the 'final' upgrade for this computer (Next time it is going to get one, it's just going to be rebuilt.)

No, an amoeba is acting reflexively. For free will, for me, requires something outside of reflex. I know the argument is that what we view as non-reflexive is merely our ignorance to the complexity of the chemical/signals which make up the action, which fair enough, that may be the case one day...

You don't know reality exists, though. As you said, it is just a perception through your meat sensors. If your meat sensors tell you the matrix exists, it is as real as reality--as you said, the choices are the same. However, to an outside observer, your actions have stopped--the concept of your...

I think the problem here is I'm not communicating what I mean. Your consciousness, who you believe you are, is based off of those functions. Depression, for example, is a stress reaction--something in your 'unconscious' is broken and sending you stimuli that you are under stress or in...

Again,what is consciousness? Your consciousness is made up of those chemical processes--this isn't something you can take apart. If the chemical processes in your brain interpreted photons differently, you consciousness would beradicallyaltered. These are not discrete concepts outside of basic...

My bar for free will is essentially the capability to take actions that are more complex than the stimuli presented (IE it's not a simple cause/effect relationship). Sleep walkers can take any number of actions depending on what their mind is constructing, just because its not based on outside...

Yes. An alien didn't jump in and take over your brain. This is disconcerting the same way people who realize how time truly is, find it disconcerting. (Edit: Because, people show the ability to navigate complex tasks while sleep walking. You can make choices, you piss on the couch one night, the...

Not at all. Your heart does not affect your cognition directly. Your cognition is baseddirectlyoff of the structure of your brain. They are linked in a loop that makes the choices for the organism. It is your decision making body, and thus that is where your 'free will' comes from. Your heart...

Unless the liver malfunction is flooding my brain with pneumonia, then it has no link or affect on my personality or the 'biological sense of me'. And there in lies the difference. I can illustrate tons of inexorable links between 'who you are' and your brain function. You're attempting to...

The Expanse This was really the surprise hit for me, what an amazing Sci-Fi show. Was worried because it seemed like it only really got popular toward the end when people realized Sci-Fi might actually NOT have put out dog shit for once. But this show was really 'golden age' TV quality.

Yeah, exactly. I view cognition as a kind of summary report for the actions the organism has taken. It's a way to feed data back into the system so the neural network has more data to make choices on later. In the end, yes your choices is a summation of a bunch of chemicals and electrons...

He wouldn't say it openly (I agree he'd be very against accepting that as his position), but he's building it in order to deconstruct it and assigning the 'free will' label to his construct. But that's the thing, his 'construct' is just playing on people's false perception of themselves, the...

This argument has always seemed to be like what Cad said on page two--difference with little distinction. Even if my cognition of the event was formed AFTER the neurological determination to do the event--I'm still doing it. The neurological determinism behind the event is still me. Harris is...

Same mole/bathroom. Stay straight and true, John!

Except it clearly is based on the books, numerous times its been shown people who know a great deal about magic can not cast it (Maesters). In addition, even people that can cast magic, not all can do all spells. (For example) You have an entire religious order who are clearly comfortable with...

Dany's fire resistance in the books is due to her bloodline, but it doesn't come directly from her blood. Rather, because she is Valyrian, she has the ability to cast very very powerful magic. From what we know of the Red Priests (And the Maesters), spells aren't simply something learned; not...

The topic of the original point is not relevant. You are so dumb. Really, just offensively stupid.

I don't think you need to worry about him being powerless; he'll most likely be dead. Even if he is powerless, moments of doubt and pain are pretty essential to any really good arc. Losing your powers is a trope in comics for a reason. At the end of the Gauntlet Story Line in the comics, they...

He is the resident pornographer; it's what he does.
