Well, there are things to know and things that are unknowable.


And the acquisition of knowable knowledge is limited by capability, opportunity and ability.


"Do I know nothing"...Well, within the context of the self propelled organic data processing device that Ebuc is, and what that means within the context of the self propelled data processing device..."Do I know nothing" is an ambiguous question.

SergeantLynch

Strictly speaking the previous settlers were not indigenes, just Asian nomads.


And yes, rid the world of Nazism and replace it with essentially Nazism.


Though Nazism is Nazism and tyranny is actually tyranny...It's just a word thing.


And some tyranny is not so nice.


And modern India was founded on Britishness, just as Modern Canada is...And a bit of Frenchness.


Though the British were a mish mash of all sorts anyway (including proto-French)...And nowadays an even bigger mish mash of all sorts, just like Canada and the USA.


Though all sorts are basically Earthlings.


Notwithstanding alien conspiracy theories.


And Phew!...White man came along just in the nick of time with vaccinations.

SergeantLynch

That's true, who'd have thought that the horses would be replaced by EV's.


Nonetheless a gun is still essentially just high velocity projectiles initiated by an explosive charge.


Phasers not yet widely available.


Setting phasers to stun is surely the way forwards...Effective but not deadly.

#37.


Needs clarification.


In terms of what are regarded as illegal narcotics, I'm not sure that there is much difference between the UK and the US.


"Drugs needed to end your own life"...What do you mean?...And how does this relate to illegal narcotics?

SergeantLynch

Yep, like I said establishment figures will undoubtedly be targeted.


Though violence related gun deaths in the US totalled 14651 in 2025.


Gun suicides up to 28000.


Whereas Japan experiences approximately 15 gun related deaths per annum, violent and suicidal.


Guns are essentially a killing tool...And it is estimated that there are as many as 500 million privately owned and largely unmonitored guns in the US...Such is human evolution to an advanced state of civility and intellect.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.


Well, an Omnigod would provide us with an infallible edition.


Like, displayed on a giant space screen in multiple languages and heard through giant space speakers...So that more than just a handful of Middle Eastern semi desert dwellers got to hear about it...Perhaps with a humming accompaniment.


Like, for sure do not covet thy neighbours wife's ass, but do fuck virginal girls in stables whilst their daft boyfriends are sorting out the donkey...Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.


None of this burning bush nonsense.


But of course, we know that the "Bible" is manmade and that an Omnigod has never actually uttered a word...Because there is no such thing.


Maybe an evolved super-intelligence...Maybe digital...Perhaps a vibration...Perhaps a subliminal hum.

SergeantLynch

Yes, at least there is more chance of someone taking a pot shot at an establishment figure.


Though they just need to adjust their sights and practice a bit more.

SergeantLynch

Hmmmmmm.


Yes, I do metaphorically hum...Not sure if that stimulates my vagus nerve.


Men swear, yes that's adjacent to the women's lingerie department...Take your time, enjoy the shopping experience and general nerve stimulation, but try not to hum too loudly.



SergeantLynch

Hey... The USA is still the biggest importer and user of "illegal narcotics.


Blowing up the odd pleasure cruiser or two in the Gulf of Mexico maybe fun viewing, but solves nothing.

SergeantLynch

I stretch, don't hum and take paracetamol very occasionally to ease virally induced pain in the lower back and hips, which usually occurs once or twice a year and typically lasts for about a week.


I probably won't take up humming, but I find that swearing is great for stress relief.


In fact, I think that I would find humming stressful.

SergeantLynch

Yes, Trump is an egotistical megalomaniac and will inspire hatred and wannabe assassins.


It is what it is.


Sort of transcends US politics.


Has become a global phenomena.

SergeantLynch

Truth is that which is known to be factually correct.


The opposite of truth can be classified variously...The Bible falls into this broad category, wherein some elements may be based upon real people and places.


Though a great deal of the bible was concocted some time later, and amounts to nothing more than the ideological and fanciful ramblings of ignorant men...Such is not truth.


Persistent formative conditioning and data transfer is what it is...And the meaning of/reasons for/ purpose of material creation and existence, remains a mystery.

SergeantLynch

Well, I fired up the laptop and DebateCraft this morning...And boring.


Will pop over to DebateArt and see if anyone has been active there.

SergeantLynch

Well, there's nowhere else, anytime soon Faux...So might as well attempt to be happy every now and then.


Though as I always say, contentment is the better goal.


And fortunately you and I can find some level of contentment thanks to our relative security.


So, Happy Another 24hrs of Doing Stuff...Unlikely to shot or hit by a bomb.


But always keep a weather eye out for falling pianos.



SergeantLynch

Well another dig at Al Gore for the sake of another dig at Al Gore...Such is an obsession relating to a former democratic politician.


Nonetheless climate changes relative to influences, and scientists (not Al Gore) confidently tell us that climate has been dramatically influenced over a relatively short period of time by human activity...Notably, the burning of fossil fuels and the production CO2, and also the production of other gases from industrial activity....The outcome of these effects can be ignored, but cannot be denied.


And to suggest that no one other than yourself knows how to calibrate a thermometer is absurd.



SergeantLynch

Well, you just assumed that I wanted a what as a supreme being, when in fact I do not want any such thing.


What I would really like to know is the cause or reason for creation and existence...And neither you nor I actually know...In fact no one actually knows the answer.


As I see it, a supreme being is an option, but an illogical option and certainly a somewhat more illogical option than either a spontaneous emergence of matter or infinitely existent matter.


As it is, all options begin at 1, and 0 is seemingly impossible.


Anyway, within this context "what" is the appropriate question...Because if one asks who is the cause, one immediately applies an erroneous precept.

SergeantLynch

Well, mind is, in so much as undeniable...Therefore existent in some way.


My question to you would be, what is "immaterial"?


Though for sure, the big question all boils down to the distinction between something and nothing.


And Yes I too came to the conclusion that the Captain and I were essentially coming from the same place in terms of process and function. Though the Captain was keen to embellish base process and function and label the effects with words such as love...Hence "love" is a hormone named oxytocin...Hmmmm, no it isn't, but I understand where they are coming from...Overthink is undeniably the human condition and that which sets us apart from other primates and other species.


So, sex is for procreation, though over the intervening billions of years of species development, only homo-sapiens has come up with the alternative notions and labels that define hormones as love, or love as hormones, and that recreational sex is more than a derivative of procreational sex.

SergeantLynch

Nope, I said unprovable brain construct.


I didn't specifically refer to sensory perception....It was you who raised the issue.


You have a tendency to fly off at tangents.


Nonetheless you are implying that output is not necessarily dependant upon sensory input...Which may be correct but is "Unprovable"...Hence you refer to it as faith.


And for sure, in terms of correctness of idea, incorrectness is not misfortune, but simply incorrectness.

SergeantLynch

That's the Hindu's then.


And what about a philosophical discussion between a theist and an atheist based upon the concept of creation and existence and an indefinite cause.


Notwithstanding that a human animal hybrid in the first instance is more likely to enquired of as what rather than who. Of course we can give it a human name.


So I created some yoghurt and call it Dave...And Faux enquires, who is Dave...Though if Faux was enquiring about Dave's composition, he would perhaps ask what is Dave.
