  • What are you most basic principles for life?

  • Be kind to others and let go of attachments. Have lived a very happy and successful life by doing just those two things.

  • My dearest Lemmy, what is the appliance you have the most beef with?

  • Don't blame Satan if things don't work out. It's God's plan right?

  • I’m not necessarily disagreeing with you here, but thought I’d provide a counter argument.

    A group of children are dying of a horrible, deadly disease that can only be cured with the bark from a specific tree. So we go into the forest and chop this tree down to save the children from an excruciating disease.

    A squirrel had built its entire home in that tree. That tree was everything to the squirrel. Now the squirrel has nothing and will suffer because we chopped down its home.

    How do we explain this to the squirrel? Well, we can’t. No matter how hard we try, we can’t explain why we needed to destroy its home. The squirrel is physically incapable of understanding.

    Playing devils advocate here, perhaps the reason for the need for human suffering is so beyond our understanding and comprehension that we are just physically incapable of understanding. Maybe we’re just squirrels, and human suffering needs to happen for some greater purpose unbeknownst to us.

  • So why did you make your comment when you didn’t do even 30 seconds of research on NPR?

  • Why does it seem like many Americans have an arrogant personality trait?

    Jump

  • I’m sure if you polled the average American they would not agree that “America is better than the rest of the world “. Maybe 20-30 years ago that might have been true.

  • Yikes. Relax, brother. I have no angle. I simply inquired into your assessment of our situation.

    The reason I ask is because I see quite a number of people saying that it’s “everyone else’s fault for being immoral and stupid”, and I believe we should be looking more inward, or at least assigning fault to the ones who are responsible (the “powers that be if you will) instead of pointing the finger at our fellow brothers and sisters.

    But, this is just my opinion. And you are entitled to yours. If you want to discuss further, there is no need for the ad hominem attacks 🙂.

  • Why would'nt this work?

  • That’s the thing. The math says they’re both correct, and that it depends on the viewpoint of the observer.

    I’m inside a car moving at 60 mph. I throw the ball forward (let’s ignore air resistance) at 30 mph.

    Me, who’s inside the car, sees the ball move forward at 30 mph.

    You, who’s outside the car, sees the ball move at the car’s speed PLUS the throw speed (60 + 30 =90 mph)

    So, the ball is moving both at 30 mph and 90 mph. How can that be? It depends entirely upon your reference frame (inside the car? Outside the car? Inside another car moving at 40 mph?). The ball moves at all these speeds, and they are all “correct” within universal terms.

  • Why would'nt this work?

  • With your example, nothing is “moving”.

    Imagine a giant wave in the ocean that is almost lined up perfectly parallel to the shore. Imagine the angle that the wave is off by is astronomically small (0.0000000001 degrees off from parallel). Also imagine the shore line is astronomically long (millions of kilometers).

    One end of the wave will crash the shore slightly before the other end of the wave at the opposite end of the shore. The difference in time between the two sides of the shore is also astronomically small (so small that not even light could reach the other end in time)

    Now let me ask you: did the wave “crash” travel faster than the speed of light? Of course not. I think that is a similar analogy to the laser movement concept you described.

    Edit: Fun thought experiment. Depending on where you are on the shore (which end you are closer to), you may see one end crash before the other end (one event happening before the other event). Have two people at different locations on the shore, once they meet up with each other, they might disagree on which end crashed first! And they would BOTH be correct! Relativity is fucking crazy
