Lots of irrational exuberance in many places - places like this, the stock market, the real estate market, covid. They can't all be right can they? Some things look parabolic and that sort of thing never ends well. There's a lot more cash available than there normally is. That could keep things going - king dollar is powerful. King dollar won't say much about the issue of to vaccinate or not to vaccinate. There is much irrational exuberance about the dangers of vaccinating and the dangers of not vaccinating. Take your pick.
Like the song says, "Some of the lies are believing."

I have been looking. Covid is essentially a 'cold' virus, for which vaccines have proven worthless. The symptoms aren't considered severe enough in the overwhelming vast majority of cases to pursue. It's not a 'stable' virus, mutates frequently. Vaccines early in a pandemic have proven less effect, as a virus will evolve an adapt quite a bit, initially. The dominant strain changes frequently. mRNA technology has been around for about 20 years. Originally a cancer therapy. Considering the huge potential, it never really got much attention, until covid. Have to wonder why, after 20 years, it's now the miracle 'cure' for all of our problems, if everyone would just take the shot. Vaccines help protect an individual, not a population. The vaccines don't provide long term protection (still studying), boosters required 6-8 months. The mass vaccination scheme is an experiment. No one knows if it'll work, how many boosters, or how often they will be need, to maintain a sufficient level of immunity. Obviously, there is no data, on the long term, cumulative effects, of repeated jabs, of the mRNA covid vaccines. Something that won't be known, until years after the pandemic.

In the meantime, politicians have 'free-rein' using the national credit card, to spend as they please. Usually to enrich themselves, the states they 'represent', and steal power and control, to ensure they will be able to continue after the crisis passes. The legislative fighting isn't about what's best for America, it's each congressman fighting for their fair share of free money, power, and control.

Harvey,
Based on your responses to the covid issue, your looking, as you say, hasn't been sufficient to uncover other points of view about covid, other than the one (a cold) that you're so hung up on.

... except that there are far more than only two sides ... and your "side" isn't even one of them. Your babblings on the topic are summarily discarded. You refuse to ground your gibberish in any sort of reality by establishing any points that are actually correct. You refuse to post anything that is true.

*THEN* you feel the need to find fault with the much better positions of others who know so much more than you do.

Well, that's all true. Harvey tends to take a pragmatic approach that only considers actual observations as opposed to obsessing over fabricated hype.

Well, there are thousands of health care workers, who have dealt with the ICU overflowing with neck-tube recipients dying on a daily basis. Corpses stacked like cord-wood, in the back of U-Hail truck. Some with Phds. These people refusing vaccine mandates?

Vast majority of severe covid cases, are in those near, or exceed the average life expectancy. They have nothing to lose, and willing to pay any price, to buy just a little more time. The price, is national debt, other people's lives and freedom, well worth even one more day of breathing (without a neck tube).

It's no secret that anyone dies, and tested positive for covid, is listed as a covid fatality. Even if covid had very little, to nothing to do with the actual cause of death. Nothing wrong with it either, the data could be useful for further study. It's more complete to do it this way, than to have thousands of medical examiners make the determination, and decide if covid was a significant factor. Not to mention complete autopsies, are time consuming, and expensive. Many cities can afford it, don't have the time, or storage for thousands of dead bodies. Families tend to want their insurance check, dump the body in a hole, or burn it, move on.

Politically, most of or elected officials are near, or past the average life expectancy. Have lived an active, wholesome, healthy lifestyle. But, more than willing to sacrifice the entire country, is they can buy just one more day...

In order to cultivate the viruses and vaccines they need a fetal serum which needs to be extracted while the fetus is still alive and withouth anesthetics. Therefore around 2 million of pregnant cows are cut open without anesthetics to get an acess to a fetus which also will be cut open alive to extract the blood from the beating heart to get the precious fetal serum.
The process with human aborted fetuses must be basically the same. The fetus needs to be alive to get the serum or cells of the kidneys etc.
As you can see the whole vaccine industry is based on butchering the fetuses alive.

I think this is just as good a time as any to discuss your gullibility. Yes, yes, we have extensively covered your Safemoon HODLing ... but I think we also need to address your PETA membership.

Worth mentioning is that keepit is the only poster on this site who will believe you when you regurgitate activist tabloid articles.

Why do you believe this? How does a serum know when life ends so that it knows when to make itself unobtainable?

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11971757/

Fetal bovine serum (FBS) is a common component of animal cell culture media. It is harvested from bovine fetuses taken from pregnant cows during slaughter. FBS is commonly harvested by means of a cardiac puncture without any form of anaesthesia. Fetuses are probably exposed to pain and/or discomfort, so the current practice of fetal blood harvesting is inhumane. Apart from moral concerns, several scientific and technical problems exist with regard to the use of FBS in cell culture. Efforts should be made to reduce the use of FBS or, preferably, to replace it with synthetic alternatives.

I just watched a video of the procedure. A bovine fetus is removed by caesarian and the cow was healed a couple of weeks later.

FBS is commonly harvested by means of a cardiac puncture without any form of anaesthesia.

The cow was under full anesthesia. There was no cardiac puncture.

Fetuses are probably exposed to pain and/or discomfort, so the current practice of fetal blood harvesting is inhumane.

The fetus was already dead prior to the harvesting, ergo it didn't feel a thing.

Apart from moral concerns,

There don't seem to be any moral concerns.

... several scientific and technical problems exist with regard to the use of FBS in cell culture.

There are no scientific or technical problems mentioned here.

Efforts should be made to reduce the use of FBS or, preferably, to replace it with synthetic alternatives.

There is no reason identified as to why such efforts should be made.

Human ego tells us we know it all, and can control everything. In reality, we don't know near all we think we do. We would no longer need science, if we had already learned it all. Science is mostly just the best explanation, until somebody comes up with something better. Humans are good at making tools. Not just tools to perform work, but to also study. Makes it a lot easier to learn things, if you can see clearer. Although, I have some doubts, about the value of gravity wheels...

I know enough to know that I only know what I know I know.

HarveyH55 wrote: We would no longer need science, if we had already learned it all.

Have you ever heard the phrase "42 is the answer to the universal question ... but if you ever learn what that universal question is, the answer will immediately change"?

A famous mathematician by the name of Kurt Gödel developed some theorems that proved mathematically that even if someone were to learn a denumerably infinite set of facts/axioms/datums about a system, e.g. nature, that there will always be something TRUE about the system that cannot be concluded/realized via application of the rules of logic/math to that infinite system.

Here's where my question comes in. If that unprovable but TRUE statement is then included to the already infinite set of facts/axioms/datums, a new unprovable statement is born that is nonetheless TRUE about the system. Ergo, no one can "learn it all." I'm tempted to call it the Harvey theorem ... but Kurt Gödel did beat you to it by about a hundred years.

HarveyH55 wrote:Science is mostly just the best explanation, until somebody comes up with something better.

I have a comment about this statement and you will want to scream "semantics!" when I make it but the word "explanation" is not the word you should be using.

Science does not "explain" why anything is as it is. Science simply states what cause will have what effect or what relationships exist in nature but has nothing to say as to why any of it happens to be the case. There are no explanations in science. The cause simply causes the effect.

This is a sticky point because theories that claim to provide explanations are just unfalsifiable theories, typically speculations of the past, and are specifically not science. Darwin's theory of evolution is a great example. It is, in fact, one possible explanation for the current state of life on planet Earth. However, Christian-hating Marxists err when they refer to the theory as science (Christian-hating Marxists refer to every absurd aspect of their dogma as "science"). Christians who believe in a young earth don't particularly care much for this theory which assumes a much older earth.

Similarly, the Big Bang is one possible, but nonetheless unfalsifiable, explanation of why we have the observable universe that we observe. It is not science.

Don't confuse "explaining nature" with "explaining science." Anyone can explain the falsifiable relationships of science but only unfalsifiable theories can speculate on explanations of nature.

HarveyH55 wrote: Humans are good at making tools.

I tend to qualify this by adding that humans are the only species that produce tools for the purpose of making other tools. There are animals that make tools, by making use of something as a tool, but it is always just one level deep.

I have just heard too many times someone from the "animals are better/smarter/more worthy than humans" crowd that animals are "better" at making tools because with them it's totally natural and instinctive whereas it's totally artificial with humans ... and of course animals don't abuse their skills by creating firearms or oppressive capitalism.

Pete Rogers specifically preached ATE and you served as his choir. You never, ever, ever, ever questioned anything he wrote and you never called boolsch't on any of his stupid crap. You have always insisted that all of his physics violations "make perfect sense."

You are a totally dishonest fu'uucc on this topic and here you are again pretending to bash on a competing denomination of your Greenhouse Effect faith in an attempt to virtue signal to others of your church in the exact same way that Christian-hating Marxists mindlessly bash on Christians to promote themselves before other Marxists. You have done nothing but defend Pete Rogers' ideas like you are desperate to get him to date you.

How is any of this my fault?

duncan61 wrote: ... which I understood and had never considered.

How did you somehow understand it when it isn't true because it violates physics? How do you justify ignoring all of the multiple explanations from multiple angles from multiple posters of how all of Pete Rogers' crap is not only wrong but is totally absurd? You ignore it all.

The only rational conclusion I can reach at the moment is that either you are secretely and dishonestly in league with Pete Rogers to promote his/your faith or you are desperate for Pete Rogers to bend you over a credenza.

I see how you are quick to encourage people to lose money participating in a scam so I am inclined to go with the former. You are dishonest.

duncan61 wrote:You have tacked on all the other claims of additional energy

Like I said, you are totally dishonest. I highlighted all the specific claims that Pete Rogers made in my responses to you and you responded saying that they make perfect sense. Now you are dishonestly pretending that I was somehow the source of Pete Rogers' claims. You are a fuu'ucccing moron and a liar.

I just happen to hate liars.

... and of course you began this little flurry by pretending that my observation was somehow an attempt to pick a fight ... because you are such a victim ... and by totally EVADING the main observation that you are simply sucking up to Pete Rogers for reasons that you will not disclose.

Nothing about the term fossil fuels,carbon or the laws of physics which I have just read again and can find no correlation to the weather or climate which has many variables.I have never met Pete Rodgers and probably never will.I have shared how gravity makes the air denser at the surface and is a factor in the weather amongst many other things with a lot of people and they get it because it makes sense and like many things few people consider this.Fail to understand why it is such a big deal to you.Again you are tacking on the greenhouse and warming stuff.Gravity and the atmosphere just are.Thats it

To the best of your scientific acumen, you find no correlation between the weather and the laws of physics? Perhaps this also explains why you think gravity can somehow increase temperature
without additional energy while you nonetheless call other people stupid for making similarly absurd claims.

You claim that you came to this site with an open mind wishing to learn. Prove it. Write out an admission in your own words expressing that you understand that your above statement is stupid and that it is stupid to believe that gravity can increase the temperature of any mass without any additional energy and that it is stupid to build a science model on the conflation of past and present tenses in grammar.

I am presently convinced that you are a dishonest lying schytt who cannot make such an admission which is straightforward and is too easy for any honest person.

I know enough to know that I only know what I know I know.

HarveyH55 wrote: We would no longer need science, if we had already learned it all.

Have you ever heard the phrase "42 is the answer to the universal question ... but if you ever learn what that universal question is, the answer will immediately change"?

A famous mathematician by the name of Kurt Gödel developed some theorems that proved mathematically that even if someone were to learn a denumerably infinite set of facts/axioms/datums about a system, e.g. nature, that there will always be something TRUE about the system that cannot be concluded/realized via application of the rules of logic/math to that infinite system.

Here's where my question comes in. If that unprovable but TRUE statement is then included to the already infinite set of facts/axioms/datums, a new unprovable statement is born that is nonetheless TRUE about the system. Ergo, no one can "learn it all." I'm tempted to call it the Harvey theorem ... but Kurt Gödel did beat you to it by about a hundred years.

HarveyH55 wrote:Science is mostly just the best explanation, until somebody comes up with something better.

I have a comment about this statement and you will want to scream "semantics!" when I make it but the word "explanation" is not the word you should be using.

Science does not "explain" why anything is as it is. Science simply states what cause will have what effect or what relationships exist in nature but has nothing to say as to why any of it happens to be the case. There are no explanations in science. The cause simply causes the effect.

This is a sticky point because theories that claim to provide explanations are just unfalsifiable theories, typically speculations of the past, and are specifically not science. Darwin's theory of evolution is a great example. It is, in fact, one possible explanation for the current state of life on planet Earth. However, Christian-hating Marxists err when they refer to the theory as science (Christian-hating Marxists refer to every absurd aspect of their dogma as "science"). Christians who believe in a young earth don't particularly care much for this theory which assumes a much older earth.

Similarly, the Big Bang is one possible, but nonetheless unfalsifiable, explanation of why we have the observable universe that we observe. It is not science.

Don't confuse "explaining nature" with "explaining science." Anyone can explain the falsifiable relationships of science but only unfalsifiable theories can speculate on explanations of nature.

HarveyH55 wrote: Humans are good at making tools.

I tend to qualify this by adding that humans are the only species that produce tools for the purpose of making other tools. There are animals that make tools, by making use of something as a tool, but it is always just one level deep.

I have just heard too many times someone from the "animals are better/smarter/more worthy than humans" crowd that animals are "better" at making tools because with them it's totally natural and instinctive whereas it's totally artificial with humans ... and of course animals don't abuse their skills by creating firearms or oppressive capitalism.

HarveyH55 wrote:lthough, I have some doubts, about the value of gravity wheels...

If what James__ is pursuing works out then he'll have options when he moves to Australia.

.

Describing cause and effect is an explanation.

A theory is an explanatory argument. A theory of science must be falsifiable.
No theory is ever proven True.

Galileo explained why a tossed ball, for example, follows a parabolic curve, using the pull of gravity as a constant. He even measured that constant.

Kepler explained why Mars follows the path that it does, again using the pull of gravity (from the Sun) as a constant.

Newton explained that these two were the same thing, using the Moon to test whether the theory was false.

Out of Newton's explanation came the famous equation, F=mA.

Every theory of science is an explanation of something, and is usually (almost always!) formalized into mathematical form.

The Theory of Evolution is not science. It is not falsifiable.
The Theory of Abiogenesis is not science. It is not falsifiable.
The Theory of Creation is not science. It is not falsifiable.
The Theory of the Big Bang is not science. It is not falsifiable.
The Theory of the Continuum is not science. It is not falsifiable.

The Theory of the Big Bang has a problem. One of logic.

To consider a Universe a point object, expanding into what we see today, that point object has no Universe to exist in. In other words, it is not universal.

A Universe of finite size is also not universal. A parallel Universe means the Universe is not universal.

Therefore, such a 'Universe' is not a universe at all.

If the Theory of Creation is extended to include the creation of the Universe, it faces the same problem. There is no Universe for a Creator to exist in yet, so therefore no such Creator could possibly exist.

The Theory of Creation only states how life arrived on Earth. It does not address anything else in the Universe.

The Theory of Abiogenesis also faces a logic problem:

If, somehow, a cell managed to appear as the result of some random unspecified events, how does it survive? What does it eat? It can't absorb light without complex systems in place. It must each another cell, but there isn't one. Eating another cell is the only it can obtain sufficient resources to divide.

It is now taken that your position is that gravity is incapable of increasing the temperature of Earth or changes the weather.

I suppose I will as well ... but you can bet that I am going to expect Duncan to remain consistent with this.

If Duncan continues insulting warmizombies for erroneously blaming CO2 instead of gravity for the increase in earth's temperature ... rather than bashing on their claim of an increase in temperature, I assure you that I will be back in full swing.

Duncan is dishonest in this way. He exclusively bashes on warmizombies for crediting greenhouse gas for the increase in temperature ... not for their claims of an increase in temperature. This is because he actually isn't agreeing to drop his belief in Greenhouse Effect ... but we'll see. I will certainly give him every opportunity. Everybody gets unlimited redos.

What I'll be looking for is whether Duncan avoids focusing on CO2 or greenhouse gas and instead focuses the unsupported claims of a temperature increase on the basis of it violating thermodynamics and/or Stefan-Boltzmann. If he isn't willing to bash warmizombies for their belief in Greenhouse Effect because he believes in it himself then he deserves all the bashing that he gets, and I won't care that he is giving his own belief a different name, i.e. ATE.

However, if he actually has abandoned his silly belief in some global average temperature increase then I'll be right there backing him up. I will gladly join with him ... but I would also expect him to make this point expressly clear to Pete Rogers the next time he pops in just to show that he's not deathly afraid of Pete Rogers for some reason and that he isn't simply regurgitating what Pete Rogers has directed him to write. Obviously that is not any sort of requirement but it's what would be more convincing to me.

In short, sure, I'll extend to him every benefit of any doubt ... but of course I will be scrutinizing what he writes.

Duncan has rejected Pete Rogers' argument. The paradox stands resolved. Cease accusations of lying at this time.
