@showerthoughts Do you need to be patient in order to understand psychotherapy ??

It's just the sweet version of sauerkraut.

Modern physics is all about conserved quantities. Every physical law can be described through an associated conserved quantity. Noether's theorem establishes a connection between the two.

It makes sense to try to copy that approach to biology, or at least it's worth a try. The conserved quantity in a living being is the genetics, i think. Because while the body has cell turnover rate, the information that says how the body is built, is constant. That's why it can be used as a marker and to identify an individual, i.e. when we try to establish whether a person is still the same as they were last year (ship of theseus), we look at whether they have the same blueprint; Similar to how we don't identify a river by the water molecules in it, but by its trajectory on the landscape. And if that shape is still the same, then we call it the same river, independent of whether the water molecules changed. So the abstract shape or blueprint of something is the conserved quantity that we use to define identity, and therefore it's the conserved quantity that is relevant in the system. And that's why it should be considered an important concept, i think.

We pretty much always need an outside force to get us to stop.

If all the money ends up in hands of billionaires and their corporations and there will be no money in hands of regular plebs...
Who do you think will have to pay the taxes? Also, the people would figure out a different way of trading or currency. And with that one getting taxed, all the billionaire's money become worthless.

Don't test that. Seriously. I hate you just for thinking about testing it. In fact, go off the internet and make a baby happy, now!

Now we can't really know whether or not it was because time travel isn't real or if no one from the future wants to make history by meeting with a pedophile.

Actions speak louder than words. His actions in driving up the costs of fossil fuels, and showing the fragility the supply chain, is doing more to persuade other countries to divest from fossil fuels than any words from a sane president ever could. The decline of the US is an example of how it disadvantages a country to continue relying on them, while other countries forge ahead with renewables.

Let’s say a man decides to change his last name for no other reason than he hates his dad’s last name, and that dad refuses to call his son by his new last name. Then, in my opinion, his son should be 100% allowed to call him any mean name or slur he wants—'dick,' 'shithead,' the R slur, whatever. You shouldn’t get to disrespect people and expect respect back, so if this person gets called a slut and gets mad, I really can’t feel sympathy for him.

That's actually all... I'll leave it up to you to speculate on the cure...

They always make out that it's a free thing and then it's not.

Edit: The term feminazi was once used as a shorthand for "feminist nazi" for those that don't know.
