@grok @s77231 Is porn profitable for the x platform? If so, how profitable?
I don't recall ever verifying my age. But I can still view porn.

@Robotbeat Dr. John Lily advocated occasional reprogramming with hallucinogens.
It's be so great if Elon's next reset had him becoming OCD on ditching carbon energy as well as opening the solar system as a new frontier.

@angelshalagina The borders should be redrawn.

The oblasts of Bryansk, Kursk, Belgorod, Voronezh and Rostov should be Ukraine's.

The would give Ukraine a buffer safety zone in case a future Russian oligarch had imperialistic ambitions.

[Hop David @HopDavid41]

@BohuslavskaKate There would care if Ukraine torched their imagined piles of Russian cash with long range sanctions against Russian refineries.
Ukraine has kaboomed eight refineries in recent weeks. You need to kaboom eight more.

I am slower than a turtle. I still don't know how to take a screen shot with the share menu. Although command option 4 has always worked just fine.

[Hop David @HopDavid41]

Personally I believe the rise of sea routes was a factor. When land routes became obsolete the mideast ceased to be a hub where diverse cultures met and exchanged ideas.
I believe Ottoman oligarchs discouraging printing presses was also a factor. But is that an Islamic thing? Oligarchs always have and always will try to control communication. It doesn't matter if they are Christian, Muslim, Hindu or atheist.
The fact that you earlier endorsed Tyson's invented history demonstrates your judgement is clouded by prejudices. Which is to say you're human. All of us suffer from this vulnerability.

[Hop David @HopDavid41]

No, I am not Logic Seeker (who has blocked me).
It has always been my position that our body of knowledge comes from many populations.
India deserves credit. Islamic mathematicians deserve credit. The Christian scientists of the 16th, 17, and 18th centuries deserve credit. There are Jewish and atheist giants.
We have our knowledge from many strands of a diverse and colorful human race.

@ZelenskyyUa The Russians may be more amenable to dialogue if you took out another eight refineries in the coming weeks.

You have been pulling your punches. And for what?

[Hop David @HopDavid41]

@RealDirtyManpon Appeasement doesn't avoid war. Ask Neville Chamberlain.
By prolonging Putin's influence Trump has the blood of hundreds of thousands of Russians on his hands.
And you are complicit.

[Hop David @HopDavid41]

@AltmanLewis @YouTube Neil Tyson is not really a scientist. He had only a brief and underwhelming career in research.
People have suggested aliens were behind Stone Henge as well as structures throughout the planet. Neil is always looking for an opportunity to play the race card.

[Hop David @HopDavid41]

@ud_liner_real @LogicSeeker365 @Only1GodExists @lastkafir @grok Nope. Tyson fabricates history to push his science vs religion narrative.
Ghazali never wrote that math is the work of the devil. Nor did Islamic innovation collapse in the 12th century with Ghazali.
Tyson is a source of misinformation. And you are complicit when you defend him.

Jackie calls it a charge. "Facing the Roman Inquisition in 1633, Galileo was accused of heresy, a charge that had led others to be burned alive."

I will defer to your expertise that the theological consultants in 1616 had called it heretical. Jackie's claim remains misleading.

As for her claim "Galileo spent his life proving earth wasn't center stage" I remain of the opinion that Galileo proved no such thing. Galileo's observations did nothing to contradict the Tychonic model in fashion at the time.

And Galileo could not offer a model that made accurate predictions. It remains my belief that Kepler's more accurate model made the sun centered solar system the main stream consensus. And that Galileo gets the publicity because his drama better fits the fashionable narrative.

[Hop David @HopDavid41]

A CNN article on an upcoming Galileo musical:
https://t.co/v52twLncg4
It claims Galileo was accused of heresy. It's unclear if @jackiewattles is making this claim or if she's describing what is said in the musical.
It also claimed that Galileo overturned Aristotle's geocentric model. Galileo did nothing of the sort.
It was Kepler who made the sun centered solar system the main stream consensus. Kepler offered a model that made accurate predictions. Unlike Galileo or Copernicus.
The Tychonic model was in fashion during Galileo's time. Which had the sun orbiting the earth while Venus and Mercury orbited the sun.
Galileo observed the phases of Venus and Mercury. Which supported the Tychonic model as well as the sun centered model. Likewise Galileo's observation of the moons of Jupiter did nothing to contradict the Tychonic model.
I am expecting more ahistorical howlers to surface as this musical gets more attention.

@julia_vepreva For a Ukrainian safety zone Russia should give Ukraine Bryansk, Kursk, Belgorod, Voronezh and the Rostov Oblasts.

[Hop David @HopDavid41]

@alicejy1 Putin is butchering hundreds of thousands of Russians. And Trump is complicit.

[Hop David @HopDavid41]

@TeslaOptimi @grok @KingYeshua7 @FreedomOnX89 Some of Tyson's harshest critics are atheists. That is because intelligent atheists arguing in good faith don't want to be associated with incompetent and dishonest people like yourself.

[Hop David @HopDavid41]

@LogicSeeker365 @ud_liner_real @Only1GodExists @lastkafir @grok Your claim is that al Khwarizmi did not help develop algebra. Which is false.

[Hop David @HopDavid41]

@TeslaOptimi @grok @KingYeshua7 @FreedomOnX89 I despise Bush. Pro tip: If you want to slam someone, don't do it with fake news.
People like you give Bush critics a bad odor -- an odor of dishonesty. Go over there and stand with the Trumpers. They are your kindred spirits.

[Hop David @HopDavid41]

Did I say Al Khwarizmi single handedly developed algebra? No I did not. You listing other contributors only demonstrates your ability to make straw man arguments.
The timeline Grok provided does indeed include al Khwarizmi.
@Grok, how important was Khwarizmi's contribution to developing algebra?

[Hop David @HopDavid41]

@TeslaOptimi @grok @KingYeshua7 @FreedomOnX89 Tyson had Bush sowing anger and division during a time of intense anger. When Bush's actual speech was a call for tolerance and inclusion.

You seem to be just fine with Tyson making false accusations.

[Hop David @HopDavid41]

I gave a link to Tyson's account of Bush's 9-11 speech.
Then I gave a link to Bush's actual 9-11 speech.
And for the closing I linked to Tyson's admission he had fucked up.

Your counter argument: You chose to ignore the evidence I put under your nose.

You are profoundly stupid as well as profoundly dishonest.
