PB, too much scifi here; too little science. Cheers.

Too much psuedo-science everywhere! I’m struggling with trying to communicate positively with people around here, especially the very noisy Trump fans that take over the local paper’s comment section, even though they’re in a conservative minority among a progressive…[Read more]

I personally appreciate @toms tenacity and sincerity, but/and not attributions of nefarious purpose. I over-use the word charlatan, when I should reserve its use for pushers of woo who are blatantly pushing it for personal profit. Most anti-vaxers, for example, aren’t in that category, but are truly ignorant of the facts at large, and/or are…[Read more]

I find April 18th important, for that date I don’t drink JWBL

Thank you for saying that, for I wouldn’t have figured out JWBL was a drink, and not Jehovah’s Witness something something. 🙂 (Even in my 60’s I haven’t yet attended any conversations in someone’s study. I don’t think I’ve ever even seen a smoking jacket.)

So @toms,…[Read more]

For @TomS in particular, I submit “Fruitcake Mathematics.” (This video is in an article among the 2018-09-16 Sunday School links.)

It’s a Fruitcake, all the way down… and it might be bouncy.

@toms – surely AZ is open to all comers, as long as they’re polite, which Earl is.

@davis – are you saying that humans are the only animals that are social, and feel distress?

@robert – that’s a beautiful looking pond.

Very quick answer

Well, my answer was quicker and the question I posed more immediately ignored.

I would like very much to stay focused on the original topic, unless original poster @TomS likes these loooong tangents.

In any case, please feel free to start your own topic, and try to allow for a two-way discussion by…[Read more]

LOL, just like the big bang, and we’d have to start all over again. Gives me more time to think about responding to @TomS. 🙂

That WDYYB bullshit is just old school pseudoscience.

I have a different take on that, possibly because of a naivete… I think I read Transactional Analysis, but today I had to look up WDYYB to see what it’s about. You’re probably ahead of me on that, and I’m thinking that if you’re right about it, I’m ok if I don’t waste any more time looking…[Read more]

@belen Belle, I see this as a tool for self improvement, which I am always looking for as I am a continuous work-in-progress. When @toms first mentioned it, I did not realize that it was a depiction of co-dependency.  That’s not to say that every time someone says, ‘Why don’t you’ and offers a solution that this is wrong, nor that every time s…[Read more]
