GENIUS FORUMS

Please post here about what you believe this paper is about, so that I can prove to my english teacher that it is not unintelligable. An Unfortunate Occurrence My predicament, being unfortunately common in the high school environment, begins with a false sense of moral obligation. In order to ensure...

haha.

I was wondering if anybody would catch the refence.

I liked that movie.

What's up Borom, a lot of homework to get through, for your philosophy class? I don't have a philosophy class. Unfortunately. Or, just can't sleep? Correct. What makes any of your questions stupid? I actually don't think that they are stupid, but I didn't want any attacks because I asked seventeen ...

This is a purposefully stupid question. Why do you think it would be better if everyone was intelligent?(If you do) Why would an ethical society be the best thing? And for who? What exactly would be considered universally ethical? And if ethicality is controversial, how is it possible to have an eth...

Oh, definitely not. I only read that fast when I am required to read a book that I don't want to. Cut that in half, and you have (approxamately) my wpm when I am reading at my liesure. Most of the time, like when I am reading a novel, I prefer to pour over less pages and really immerse myself in the...

I read at about 950-1000 wpm with about 95% comprehension, and it drops to about 60% at 1200, and then to 30% at 1500.

I understand the jealousy part, but why does it come more from adults then my peers?

I know exactly what you mean, and now that I think about it there are kids that are like that, but I honestly believe that It comes from almost every single adult I know. It might not be obvious with some of them, but it's still there.

I admit that I am under eighteen, which to many of you may explain a few of my flaws in education and outlook(from lack of experience). But I don't understand why it is that adults often assume that they are smarter or more athletic(just plain better) than children? Is it ego? Myself not being an ad...

Stop putting this in large scale. As far as any human is concerned, that stuff only matters when you sit in front of your computer typing words to your friends of intelligence. In any normal day, a person is put through thousands(if not more), causes and effects in a day. It is up to them to decide ...

Look, I'm a man. I don't like being called feminine. And I really wasn't going nuts. I totally agree that if the people here could get over the whole femininity thing that maybe some threads would stay relevant to their subject. I think every guy on this forum is almost literally obsessed with makin...

In short, that was where we went wrong in the first place, so your proposition is merely setting the needle of this broken record back to the beginning, and we'll do the same thing all over again. We always do. Why? Quest for permanence---the bloated ego of the feminine (whose self-objectification ...

It's going to happen, so make boats. Make insanely large investments in nautical technology and hope the stock market doesn't crash when the world as we know it ends. Either you will end up with money or you'll be dead, but it really isn't up to you. Plus if society survives above water, then your c...

What can we do to accelerate global warming? I have property inland that I would love if it became waterfront property. I need to have a time frame for buiding my dock. I also think that the property value on my investments would skyrocket because there is much less land left to live on. would anyon...

I see some errors in your logic. You just introduce omni-science to make omni-potency work. And you change the meaning of "can not" into "don't want to". What I said was, that God would simply look into the future, realize the one or more things that he will never do, and dub th...

OK. Can a man who can do anything he wants to do, create a rock he can't pick up? Let's not get all cosmic with the "finite" definition of rocks and other "stuff". I think it is much simpler than that I think it is based solely upon his will. The man would create a rock that he w...

[excelsior said:]It says that the more acurate we measure a particle's speed, the less we know about it's position. Therefor, the scientist influences the experiment.[/quote] From the little I know about science, I have a problem with this theory. It takes a quantum of energy to move one electron to...

Can god create a rock he can't pick up?

I heard this somewhere. An event doesnt actually happen until we observe it. Somebody told me this theory of QM and it could be bs or not. If one were to put an isotope with a 50% chance of decaying(iffy science, but that part is'nt very important)in a box, along with a sensor that, if the isotope d...

My problem is this. Someone who knows a fair amount of quantum mechanics told me that everything is a probability. But what confuses me is that that probability is caused by something else defying the laws of nature, which is caused by the same. For example: if one dropped a pencil, there is a possi...

If one being knew the past and present of everything, would he be able to know the future? I've heard about quantum mechanics, and "stuff" like that, but I don't belive any of it. I completely agree with Einstien. I don't think that there are any random events. None.

I don't think that ends can justify the means, because (snip)the actual end, at least in the human sphere, is not knowable beforehand A person can't know for sure what the end will be, but they can be 100% about what they do right then, so they can't do something bad and then hope they get lucky and...

Yes, I think your'e right. I was referring to the timing of the thoughts along with subject, but, no matter. The expirement would be a general waste of time, because of the extreme amount of thoughts that they couldn't possibly record. But without expirementation there is only speculation, which is ...

I didnt mean that the thoughts cant bring about action, only that the acrtions do not affect the other person. And if the action holds no importance to the other, than the action matters not.

A life long thought log for a group of people who will never make contact. :) Every thought that they can remember they write down. Then they compare them when they reach old age.(with computers of course.)

If a man killed someone by smiling at them, then he could hardly be blamed for not knowing that the man would die if someone smiled at him. The means, being normally friendly and harmless justifies the end, the man dying. The man who killed him should not be held accountable.
