  1. How can we live in a racist society of racism doesn't exist
  2. This may imply that by studying your question it knows how you think.
  3. A friend asked ChatGPT a question and it tailored the answer to her personality. It was a good answer though some of its references were made up intentionally. Which it admitted to upon further questioning
  4. The purpose in life is to do do the thing you are uniquely suited to accomplish. Meaning is defined by the individual.
  5. Do you think racism and discrimination will end in America. State your reasoning.
  6. How come Octavia Butler is on the list twice.
  7. If it ends in an "O" it's probably an man's name. Id it ends in an "a" it's probably a women's name. However a name could be either gender, if it's given. A boy named Sue is a case in point.
  8. Yeah just some drama from all directions.
  9. Humanity has pretty much shut the door for me
  10. A wise one can't talk to a fool. Otherwise they cease being wise. I am vacillating between be a Stoic and Nihilist. I have a hard time arguing with people because it is pointless. Most people don't question whether they may be mistaken. I am vacillating between be a Stoic and Nihilist. I have a hard time arguing with people because it is pointless.

  11. Thank you @aka Contrarian It seems that the decades of practicing Astrology has had an effect. I can feel people móod and I seem to be more magnetic. You are already free.
  12. From the personal to the national.Every group is a tribe.
  13. Nor were you trained in statistics It's obvious to everyone else. Am opinion is never wrong but it can be either uninformed or misinformed. Pioneer has hit the Daily Double.
  14. There are entire subjects that I know nothing about, it's not about being sad . It's about time , focus and interest. I recently realised something about myself. I have to read authors who have a facility with language and/or have an interesting story. I also read very few esoteric books unless the author has more broad or in depth Knowledge than myself. Since I have been interested in the esoteric since about 12. And actively for the last 27 years so that's is understandable. Some things are pointless. Or I don't care about having to prove a point. Sometimes I'll drop out of an argument because it has become tiresome or too familiar.
  15. You don't know what you're talking about when it comes to statistics. So I can't entertain this monologue.
  16. This isn't quite right. Vision isn't like a camera. Visual perception can be effected by suggestion. Also we have a blind spot in our eyes where the light enters. However you brain fills in the missing scenery.
  17. There are two subtle ponts in your response. I am using uncommon knowledge which you may not be Cognizant. You are assuming I am wrong when you haven't understood what I said. Which circles back to my other point. It only took you a day to realise the statement I made was correct. That's a good turn around time This is almost impossible to do and not get caught. No I just have more of a dislike of ignorance. Yes for some people that is the case. A lot of instances before I post something il do a couple of searches to understand an issue from more than one perspective. So I have learnt a bit from some of the questions posted in the forum.
  18. More importantly if there is a hole in the boat would you know what to do, in order to not sink? This is where having some knowledge is helpful other than observation.
  19. I trust numbers more than I trust people's observations, since I can interrogate the numbers and find the truth. Most studies are done by more than one group. People are often ignorant or resistant to facts. Surely you can relate to this statement, intimately. Accuracy is about being correct. Precision is more about the level of detail. An example. Having a scale that is more than 95 percent accurate that only measure weight to the tenths of a pound. Is better than a scale that measure to the hundredth of a pound but is 90% accurate. The variation of the second scale(accuracy) nullifies it's precision. Since the actual values varies from the true value by 10%. Statistical studies will tell you the sample size, how the sample was collected, it's correlating of strength of the relationship between the variables. You can also see how much the sample is a representative sample by looking at non parametric tests. Which can be applied to any sample. So in this instance your observations about numbers don't have as much validity as my analysis of the same. Full disclosure I am not a statistician, however I have a faculty with numbers and analysing data. To use your example . Not all holes will sink about. It depends on the size and where the hole is located and the type of boat. Which is something that requires observation and specialised knowledge. Which a mathematician, an engineer or some fluent with fluid mechanics would be more likely to correctly assess. It's important for me to understand the limits of what I know. You are not so constrained.
  20. You are making assumptions about something that I know about and you do not. I find information in numbers. I was a statistics tutor in University in both the Mathematics and Business school. Plus I have been paid to do statistical work. In statistics you are trying to convert data into information. Accuracy is more important than precision.p No that is not an issue. Since any proper analysis will state their methodology. Again it is useful to have some knowledge about the subject your discussing in order to have an informed position. There are things that can be done to squeeze the numbers, however that's where analysis comes in handy. I'll give you an example. I was doing an analysis for a PhD candidate. I not only could see trends in the data which were corroborated by my professor. I also suggested changing the scale so it could be more descriptive. I did another analysis for a consulting group. One of the participants write my clients college statistics book. One of the presenters hot ripped a new one by nthe statistician. However my analysis was fine and went o to be included in a study done for the National Endowment for the Arts. I have other examples but those should make point to a rational thinking individual. The last five years I have been using numbers to qualify moments in time. Which isn't something that is easily done either by analysis or observation. As far as I know I am the only Astrologers who has these techniques. In addition they are objectively effective.
  21. I have found statistics and numbers to be more informative than personal observations. If approached with minimal bias numerical analysis is illuminating. Statistics used to be my hobby. And it not easy to do your own research, and data collection is even harder. There are certain rules or parameters that have to be met or followed when gathering data. If certain criteria is met you have a biased sample that doesn't represent the population being analysed. The cool thing about statics is even if you don't have a normal sample set you can still perform analysis of the data. Averages Medians and Modes can be quite infomative. In addition looking at data graphically can show you some trends. However they may only apply to you have collected, if it is not a representative sample. I am sure you have heard of the Gallup polls.
  22. Science is saying Schrodinger's cat is both alive and dead. Until you turn on the light.
  23. I am Astrologer but I don't own the territory
  24. Let them eat rice cakes
  25. What your take on the egg crisis the related smuggling of eggs. What will the powers that be do to solve this issue. Breakfast and dessert food are going to get pricey.
