Sure! But knocking over storefront dummies is nothing to brag about. This type of person is hardly worth the effort. It was a missed opportunity. You can tell Boylan goes into these encounters with the mindset that he is a representative of a team and any embarrassment meted out to rival teams is a...

Paul Gee is a contemporary incarnation of the old school cult ministries from the 80s and 90s. If you look at his website ‘ Christianity vs Mormonism ’ you’ll get a good look into what the guy is all about. When guys like this step into a public ministry and invest a tremendous amount of time in try...

Can someone explain why Neville was the primary target instead of Meldrum? That doesn't make sense to me. Mopologetics is an endeavor that has its genesis in reacting to something and any aspiring Mopologist needs a source that provides ample content for them to react to (hence the book review bein...

Hossenfelder's point about math being mistaken for reality in the thin-air upper reaches of high-energy theory is arguable but not trivial. But she isn’t having a discussion about the metaphysical relationship between mathematics and reality, she is saying “don’t mistake mathematics for reality” in...

The fact that many quite different natural phenomena could all be explained with molecules wasn't enough to convince everyone that molecules really existed, because the consistency of molecular explanations was itself consistent with the idea that molecules were just mathematical placeholders that ...

So big picture: In the late 19th to the mid 20th century, there was a major intellectual push to give a robust and precise description of the “scientific method” so that it co...

Make no mistake: the Mopologists’ friendship is conditional. The second that Mike Parker wavers in his role as “cannon fodder,” he will be discarded into the trash bin. I believe that the fundamental motivation of Mopologetics is to garner an inner sense of superiority by the routine application of...

Can you summarize what Hossenfelder says?

Nord VPN is great for protecting your data. She also gets Karl Popper completely backwards and paraphrases him as saying "If it isn't testable then it isn't science" which is very much not what the man argued or wrote.

Peterson cheats like that regularly, however. He does and you are absolutely right that the disclaimer doesn't remedy the issue at hand. is this an additional clarification? Nope. Daniel started to include those kind of disclaimers after Lem's thread really took off and the examples started to pile...
