On Disagreements: Punch 'em

[vap0rtranz]

We know they’re wrong. Yet how do we avoid that cliche idiom, “I respectfully disagree.” The quotes speak for themselves.

1. ... we need a meta-decision system for resolution of disagreement.

Haha, Mendy talking about free-thinking.

My butt.

[vap0rtranz]

I imagine he'd say, "You can think freely, but you're wrong (about that thought)." :)

[force_of_will]

I'm gettin ready to say something on all of this, I think. Freedom basically is a negative space in the dialectic and contrary to its popular usage, real freedom leads to anarchy, incoherence, and anguish.

Now back to Wal-Mart and the bikes. Feh.

Oh? I am all ears ... or all eyes in this case. Hurry! You're better at this; I fumble with words.

I'm not a friend of that persons friend locked journal...

I'm hoping to get the long post of this churned out before we go on vacation next Friday. I work through Tuesday, and as I said the job makes me tired. We'll see...

It feels like a rather profound breakthrough, but I don't take much stock that I could ever be that novel with anything that has much meaning. But that's part of the game...

Well Jared was talking about being banned from real_ and phil -- a topic that seem ubiquitous lately. My inept explanation of these purges was

Now anybody who's positioned to start a web business?

[hfx_ben]

EXTJS, PHP, MySQL, and a break-through in techne ... everything's positioned. Everything except a coupla sharp/agile yungins to carry the ball.

LAMP? Sure. But Perl is betta; so is Postgresql.

[hfx_ben]

LAMP's the standard uhhhh anvil. But I'm not quibbling about tools.

"Perl is betta" huh huh ... that would mark the spot where I drop out of the exchange.
;-P

http://many2many.wordpress.com is one blog I launched this spring ... http://bentrem.sycks.net is messy as sin but it tells the tale.

Lotsa folk running around comparing tools ...
... point is to establish and safe-guard civil society.

This post is exactly what I needed to get through my night. Aha, life for me has turned into philosophizing grass. Sad. So sad.

[vap0rtranz]

Heh. I meant to applaud something you quoted from Plato ...

*searches your journal*

... ah yes, your favorite quote is from the allegory of the Cave, no?

[downcasteyes07]

Yes it was. Allegory of the cave has been something that has stuck with me for a long time on many different levels. I don't think it will ever leave me. I also like the one about learning more about someone in an hour of play then in a year of conversation. It's the truth!

Simple but very important problem.

Show that the gravitational self-energy (energy of assembly piecewise from infinity) of a uniform sphere of mass M and radius R is

And this relates to the post or to the comments /how/?

A bit of entailment will help us mere mortals see your exhalted expression for just what it is.

Justin, you're friend isn't in the loop. Maybe you should clue him in.

[moosehead_beer]

Let the initial position and speed of an overdamped, nondriven oscillator be x0 and v0, respectively.

Recall that the equation of motion for such an oscillator is

[hfx_ben]

There are 8 points in the post; you've related this elaboration to none.

It's evident that your only intention is to mock and condescend.
