@OtangeloG@paulogia0 Unfortunately Otangelo that cat is out of the bag and it ain't going back. Texting 'most scholars agree' and 'lol' and various emoticons will not put it back in There is now serious debate about historicity. Your position needs more evidence
@UKBeanzOnToast @mrjamesob Try to keep some perspective. Roaming charges are coming back unless the other suppliers follow O2 and Virgin. Will they? We aren't seeing that yet
@paulogia0 a
All cults, sects compliment those who drank their koolaid on being special in some way, and those who refuse as unenlightened in some way. It's an essential element in the structure.
@RhodTJames1@mrjamesob In the time it will take, I'll be dead, my children's working lives and prosperity finished and my grandchildren's futures determined. So who gets the benefits you have faith in?
@paulogia0 Whereas religious people sometimes seem to think the universe was born with a dollop of evil put in by God or the devil or human sin and that it exists as a substance in its own right. This is weird
@paulogia0 I don't think we should focus on what is red phenomenologically (in the mind), rather the point is red and evil are adjectives that apply to certain things we find to be evil or red. You can have a bunch of roses but not a bunch of evil or red
@sefeiba @Prophet_of_Zod What about the statistics on the rates of infection and death amongst the unvaccinated being so much higher than the vaccinated? Are these lies to you?
@1pckt@paulogia0 you don't even have to believe in Jesus according to Romans 5:28. Jesus undid what Adam did, and one man paid off all debt for original sin, no worship or belief required! It's there in black and white
@Barrathy74 @DeborahMeaden By move on, do you mean suppress what an ongoing and ever escalating disaster it has been for the British people, our economy and world influence? That moving on?
@ScruggsDaggard @mrjamesob Yes time will tell, in maybe 20 or 30 years when I will be dead, my children's working lives over and the grandchildren's standard of living set for them. Good deal that, wrecking our lives whilst we wait for 'problems to resolve'.
@FrenchTaunter77@paulogia0 I think it needs to be 'I am incapable of self-assessment' to be a paradox, as not very good is a loose generality not contradicted by a single self-observation
@si_key@archer_rs .Meanwhile I note that the website on IQ tests you referred me to claims the test results will indicate areas where I need to develop, which kind of supports my view does it not?
@si_key@archer_rs I am happy to hear any reasoning you may have that supports the idea that intelligence exists independently of education or that it exists as a property independent of our tools that measure it.
@si_key@archer_rs This just confirms you use education to complete these tests. On your second point I am aware of the concept if emotional intelligence and the complexity of brain function and performance. It's why I said intelligence is what IW test measure.
@si_key@archer_rs I guess I'm looking at this critically and philosophically. I checked your IQ test and Q3 asks how many triangles. My education and experience tell me to include the outer one and the internal combinations.
