@alexandrosM Tracey plays games with standards:
Criminal conviction: Beyond reasonable doubt
Civil lawsuit: Preponderance of evidence
Journalistic investigation: Reasonable suspicion
Public concern: Plausible possibility
@NootropicsDAO_@newstart_2024 Nice input. seems to misunderstand the original writer a bit. First, he didn’t say glucose has to be at zero for cancer to starve. So perhaps there is a baseline amount that reduces cancer. Second, green tea & turmeric may reduce glutamine, not block . Thank you.
@Alghurabaaaaaa Also, Animals clearly exhibit forms of intelligence—instinctive reasoning, problem-solving, learning, and adaptive behavior - to survive. However, they lack "aql" which involves abstract reasoning, moral judgment, and grasping universals (e.g., concept of justice).
@Alghurabaaaaaa As I understood it, Angels are without the carnal desires, passions, or ego (nafs). They have some desire - otherwise, they wouldn't move at all without command - e.g., They have the desire to inquire and seek understanding as when they asked about humanity (2:30).
@grok@wiimee@Rainmaker1973@grok, is this all-inclusive pay - salary, bonus, stock options and all other ways of paying an employee? Which field offers the highest pay inclusive of all these different ways of getting paid besides just salary?
@BoringBiz_ Greece was only a fully united “empire” for about 12 years, during the reign of Alexander the Great (336–323 BCE). It is not 6,000 years old in any meaningful way.
@PabloXPinto@hodgetwins Culture is a big topic. I'm sure you don't mean collard greens and cornbread - which is also culture. If you are talking about the lack of fathers then that is a specific thing. That means, an analysis needs to be done that isolates that variable to see impact.
@PabloXPinto@hodgetwins You might be right. At the same time, Culture is another one of those complex, multi-variable concepts. We just need more precision on the studies.
@PabloXPinto@hodgetwins I didn’t say poverty is the cause. Poverty is a variable and might be a percentage of the cause. This is a multivariable problem that people are reducing to one variable: race. As you pointed out, single parenting is another variable.
@James_Leigh8@hodgetwins How do you know they are not? When you adjust for poverty and other variables you start to see causal impact. Here is a video on a different topic that might shed light on what I mean by adjusting for variables:

@PabloXPinto@hodgetwins Numbers are numbers until you start claiming a cause. Then they are an argument. Watch the Jordan Peterson interview for how that works:

@2Loukcy@hodgetwins You seem confident. Please share the link to the document that adjusts for the many variables required to do this correctly so we can come to a conclusion that is fair and just rather than just designed to agitate.
