When this actually becomes a real possibility, it doesn't turn out that way.

This is a feature, not a bug. Casuistry is the science of determining the correct course of action in a complex situation. It’s complicated because the world is complicated. Attempting to create a moral system from first order logic (deontology) or a linear system (utilitarianism) was doomed from the start.

All modern moral systems have extremely serious defects where they can be gamed. Repugnant conclusion, the entire concept of deontology, etc. Virtue Ethics is ungameable.

1930s: going fast by leaning backward, banned

1990s: going fast by leaning forward, banned

I look forward to 2100 when they will simply ban going faster than a specific speed.

Thats the exact point the comment is making. The moNd theory you’re looking for here is GR. We don’t think of it as a modified theory anymore though.

I mean relative to their own orthodoxy. Doctrinal laxity is a process that once started has never ended. Very quickly you end up with no doctrine at all and then people start to wonder why they’re getting up early on the weekend. Look at the Methodists, they’ve had two schisms (or one drawn-out schism? I’m not sure) in the last two years.

Well, HN is not for flame wars or religious dispute. And I don't think it would be very effective.

More seriously, I think there is still hope for a full reunification. The Miaphysite heresy was resolved in 1990 after 1549 years. The Great Schism could go another 500 on that track record, and the protestants another 1000. At the rate things are going though, most denominations will just disappear from evaporation and increasingly lax doctrine long before that.

Clerical Celibacy is a disciple rather than a dogma. It is especially prominent in the Latin rite. There are other rites in the Roman Catholic Church and some of them have married priests. When priests convert to Catholicism they are usually allowed to remain priests if they wish. They often have to be actually ordained. If they were married and ordained both stick. Neither is reversible. If they are married and "ordained" they can still be ordained.

> I'm an anglican priest

> reinforce what the Eucharist is about in the first place

What would that be? I mean to you. I am Catholic and I am entirely aware of what it is about to us. I am not trying to dunk on you or start an argument.

The idea that object level beliefs are bad is wrong. Meta level arguments are just tricks to try to confuse you into thinking one situation is like another.

Where are you getting this? It’s not an argument, doesn’t have any conclusions and doesn’t require any though experiments. It is not semantics. Most attempts to dodge it are semantics though.

It is not. That I can think about my thinking doesn’t help at all with the question of why I can think.

3 is incorrect. Additionally, the idea of disproving the existence of a thing by arguing from inconsistencies between words describing it is not related to reality.

Edit: I read it. Anthis readily grants the existence of a mental life but wants to deny that “consciousness” is a meaning property. Sure, for the sake of argument. But that leaves the question of why I have a mental life at all entirely unaddressed.

Does he answer the question “why qualia, of any kind, ever?”

> Dennett most certainly tackles the "hard problem", by convincingly arguing the problem is ill-defined and not a real problem.

No, like everyone else he admits defeat before it and tries to define it away. Whatever the relationship between qualia and physical reality, we experience them (I do. Dennett might not, haha) which requires some explanation. Once you have that everything else is easy, but there’s no reason for there to be an experience at all.

This has been done before, 3d printing just makes it easier. See the GB-22[0] aka "Gun Buyback 22"

> We have adjusted our policies to ensure that no one can exploit this program again for personal gain.

So any item that the NY AG gun buyback program will not purchase is thus legally not a gun in NY, right? If it's not worth buying to get it off the streets, they must be fine with it on the streets. This would include 3d printed AR lowers and FGC-9s at least. I think they will not implement this policy's consequences fairly.

Limits are not an inherent part of calculus. You can do all calculus relevant for the physical world just fine with nilpotent infinitesimals if you but give up excluded middle.

Edward 8 had to abdicate to marry outside of the church of England, and Charles is already married outside of the church of England. His abdication wouldn't be weird.

> I also seem to remember that the story went on to say that Crowley at one point had been praised for his work in the Spanish Inquisition. That was the first he'd actually heard of it--humans had come up with it on their own--so he went and had a look, and then went and got blind drunk, because there are some things even demons would rather not think about.

Well, it makes sense that demons wouldn't want to think about strict judicial procedure and rules of evidence.

In your link he identifies the pieces by the artist. No matter how abstract or challenging or whatever, Duchamp and Moholy-Nagy still got to go to cocktail parties and call themselves artists. That's the new thing.

And almost all the fact checks came back and Jones was right. They kept doing it after an hour of this stuff.

What 1984 of a country bans umbrellas? /s

Usually people mention lisp and smalltalk in the same breath. What turned you off of lisp, especially as compared to smalltalk?

Many people feel that launching the rocket is just the end of the tutorial. I think this is the same crowd that installs power armor/roboport starting mods and sneers at Satisfactory because it doesn't have bots. There is a split here into the group that plays mostly vanilla and goes for extreme scale and the group that plays fuck you tech tree mods like bobangel, krastorio, or pyanodon if you really have a lot of time.

We still have the aether, we just call it the "electromagnetic field"

The MOND guys are aware: https://tritonstation.com/2022/07/21/jwst-twitter-bender/

Specifically this paper[0] is mentioned as predicting it

> Remarkably, the data roughly follow the green line, which is an L* galaxy magically put in place at the inconceivably high redshift of z=10. Galaxies seem to have gotten big impossibly early. This is why you see us astronomers flipping our lids at the JWST results. Can’t happen.

> Except that it can, and was predicted[0] to do so by Bob Sanders a quarter century ago: “Objects of galaxy mass are the first virialized objects to form (by z=10) and larger structure develops rapidly.”

>But, "proof" of God's existence in this way would eliminate the need for faith. Conversely, you also cannot prove that God does not exist, making it a faith, of a sort, in both directions.

Does anyone actually believe this? What religion's pitch is "just trust me bro"?

Tyndale got in trouble for false translation, not for translation.

Maybe it's an exabyte micro micro micro SD card the size of a grain of sand inside a crystal case. Works the same as a floppy disk.

"modernize the language"? People still buy Chaucer in old (or middle, whatever) English.
