>Avatar or signature use is against the rules, as is spamming
Thanks janny, but I too know how to read the rules and not break them. For example; I broke none of the rules you just listed. Don't worry, I'll make sure not to mention or deny mentioning a sage in this post too.

>axioms don't have a why. at least nothing better than "it just works" or "it's interesting." see? it just werks is pretty powerful. explain axioms? now we're in deep philosophy land. axioms are things assumed to be true. what is truth? [insert some definition here]. "Okay, but whyyyyyyy?". [insert explanation here] "Okay, but whyyyyy?" [wash rinse repeat]

Congrats, you just figured out how science actually works.

>you will get a feel for what they represent. if you want to do better, you need to provide a model that works better.
"I don't know what a field is and believe that not knowing what it is that I'm quantifying is okay" is what I got from that.

Lol you're dumb.

It's like you didn't read my post at all since I said the exact opposite. You can quantify the manifested/things with dimensional properties but that doesn't mean your assumed quantity and standard of measure actually exists or pertains to the thing your measuring. Basically:
Human measurements don't have properties and are as real as unicorns...which are another idea/concept. Saying "time" exists is like saying "inches" exist. Now fuck off.

>I think numbers and equations prove things are real instead of what actually pertains to reality such as empirical evidence.
Math will tell you how many apples there are, but it cannot tell you what an apple is. It's useful when you assume a standard of measure for something.

>Even a tripling of utility bills for 100% renewables isn't the end of the world. It's a much preferable trade-off to 5C warming.

I've got news for you. The day I pay $1200 for an electric bill is the day I pack my shit and move to the woods where I will burn more coal and wood and create more C02 than I ever would have being supplied by such a grid.


>but global warming is a fact, sorry anon

You are very sorry, a very sorry person for ever believing what the group think told you to without any empirical evidence. I hear they're now saying you should jump off bridges and taking long walks off short pier.

>b-but there is evidence, muh carbon!

No, see there's this thing called a "hypothesis" and a "control" and you have neither of those things. All you have are theories based on false premises and an impressionable hysterical population and that isn't math or science, in fact it's secularized metaphysics (religion) which is anti-science.
You are an anti-scientific mental midget passing yourself off as scientific simply because you have the charismatic idea of "saving the planet", which of course sounds well and good to the average moron normie. Normies and retards love charisma, It's literally all they know because they're too dumb to actually think for themselves. That's why you use people like Bill Nye (who isn't a climate scientist) to help sell off your insane asinine bullshit. I am not "Gaston" and this isn't "Beauty and the Beast", make a actual argument or on your way bub.

>You can measure the depth at one point in the ocean, that doesn't mean it's not made of waves.
It's made of water you dumbass. The water is what's doing the "waving". A "wave" is what something does.

Pressure mediation. Water flows down the bathtub drain, towards the absence of itself.

Good one knuckle head. Come back when you pass 3rd grade and finally figure out what a "property" is. I'll be here waiting.

Time and space have no properties or attributes. To say they are "discrete" would require that is has a property, attribute that distinguishes it from something else. Since both time and space are arbitrary conceptions and are not a principle to anything in reality, they do not exist.

>he thinks his autism is genetic

Does anyone here have access to Genome Dynamics? I'm wanting to read a specific paper (DOI: 10.1159/000166639 PMID: 18948713) and my Uni has been skimping on access to peer-reviewed papers.

Also, /journal/ general

What are some good books/websites/authors/etc. that offer scientifically-sound life advice?
