@Ecclesiasticu12 Having lived in the area for the better part of five years, I'd describe it as the most bizarre combination of hard working, down to earth people and the most insufferable, rabid leftists you will ever meet in your life. Beautiful area with some great music venues though.

@PAHoyeck I like how Kant looks like he's getting ready to kneecap Russell

[Leon Larkin @RevRestraint]

@AnselmDescartes @Philip_Goff And even that is underselling it!

[Leon Larkin @RevRestraint]

@CTKayMarie The "Yep" in your above comment would seem to be an affirmation of my above claim that the statement does not establish that he had reasonable doubt, and your shift to seeing "between the lines" shows you couldn't maintain your initial claim of open admission.

[Leon Larkin @RevRestraint]

@CTKayMarie Talk about moving goalposts. You originally said he openly admitted to violating his oath and the law. Now you say he didn't, but that just proves it anyway because he has a lawyer or something. Seems you've placed your beliefs on unfalsifiable ground where anything confirms them

[Leon Larkin @RevRestraint]

@CTKayMarie Fair enough. Still, that he had reasonable doubt can hardly be deduced from his statement without assigning specific and highly unconventional meanings to his words.

@MassGovernor Ever notice how these calls for AI safety seem to always refer vaguely to "safeguards" but hardly ever provide any concrete regulatory proposals? Nor is there ever any real discussion of how regulations will work globally and not just hobble us against foreign competitors.

@patrickhenry2nd @SteveR324 I smell quite a few rats.

[Leon Larkin @RevRestraint]

@nosugarallspite @SteveR324 I think you forgot a "not" there.

[Leon Larkin @RevRestraint]

@SteveR324 @JosephSib28009 I don't know, I tend to think equating less than 1200 characters to four chapters in a book is a greater sign of retardation.

[Leon Larkin @RevRestraint]

@SteveR324 Dude, if that's too much reading for you and you can't see how what it says is immediately relevant to the claims you derived from the jurors' statements, then I don't know what to tell you, cause you're just telling on yourself.

[Leon Larkin @RevRestraint]

@SteveR324 What word salad? Do you lack basic reading comprehension, or do you just prefer to pretend you don't understand when presented with arguments that undermine your claims?

[Leon Larkin @RevRestraint]

@SteveR324 Ok, but he was dealing with people that did have doubts, so it would make sense for him to address those theories. And a lack of doubts as to culpability still leaves open the possibility of more than one theory in which the conditions of culpability still obtain.

[Leon Larkin @RevRestraint]

@SteveR324 ...sounder foundation in philosophy and logic if we're going to expect the average person to serve on juries. I really didn't think this stuff was so hard to understand.

[Leon Larkin @RevRestraint]

@SteveR324 ...as to the seriousness and intent of the suicide attempt, while maintaining that whether it was a legitimate attempt or not, that she still had the knowledge of the impermissibility of her actions and the capacity to have done otherwise. Seems everyone could use a far...

@chestermtam Letting the state into our children's lives by way of the education system has to be amongst the greatest mistakes our society has made over the last century or so. Just another point in the case for separation of school and state.

@ChinaUncensored Why is everyone always blaming Gnostics for everything? https://t.co/8W7dlSvGq8

[Leon Larkin @RevRestraint]

I've encountered a lot of hostility and misunderstanding as a result of my defense of Gnosticism, so I decided to use my latest piece to address some those problems and to lay out as clearly as possible the basic reasons I find value in Gnostic thought. https://t.co/82agSfH4C0
