[quote user="dash"] When I navigate to the "Edit" page and try to upload an avatar image "dave.jpg" on my local machine, it doesn't show up anywhere. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong... -Dave [/quote] Uh, nevermind, I figured it out. The trick is clicking on the "save" button way at the bottom of...

[quote user="Mr. C"] It's entirely possible that the arguments you're presenting are coming across to us as the shopping list you'll use next week rather than an argument against UPB. You can't reject that possibility with mathematical certainty. However, I think that empiricism is pretty powerful and that you use it quite...

These are all I can find now. I know I have some more at a storage place that my mom controls and I don't think I'll ever see them again. There might be a few in some boxes I have around the house. I'll update the list if I find some. As an addendum, if anyone wants lots of random assed books I have some boxes full of them. I also have New...

One of his articles had a lead paragraph in which he defended Ron Paul as, basically, a kind of "pied piper", leading people to libertarianism, and as a consequence, to freedom. It was the classic, "half a loaf is better than none" argument, with a dash of "libertarianism was my route" thrown in for good measure. I took...

[quote user="AaronU"] Hi! I'm a CS major at college, for a while I was considering doing research into the same kind of thing. Are you still working on it? How is it coming? [/quote] I've gotten sidetracked with the US economic collapse and all. I had a major breakthrough 6 months ago but haven't pursued the obvious next steps...

[quote user="dash"]Lots of reasons for leaving, one important one is I wanted to be able to focus exclusively on my passion, which is solving the riddle of What Intelligence Is, specifically with the intent of creating true Machine Intelligence. Talking robots and such. The stuff of science fiction. Yes, it's actually possible to do it...

Oops... Doesn't this: Stefan Molyneux: If I prefer solo running to team sports because I am socially phobic, don't I end up a better runner? Counter this? Stefan Molyneux: I'm not sure I see how the cause has any real effect on the result... If the effect we're after is "better runner", then I'd think that changing our...

[quote user="Dave Bockman"] Your invitation to debate the central viability (I'm not sure what that means, I'm sorry, are you saying truth value?) of UPB carries with it the implicit proof of UPB. You cannot debate without Universally Preferable Behavior . Click here to play this audio clip [/quote] I don't think you're getting...

[quote user="david kopp"] Welcome Dave, Your insight in the other thread was very impressive. Please stick around. I am sure you will enjoy the podcasts. [/quote] Thanks! I have been enjoying the podcasts, but I'm in the mood for discourse now. Podcasts are so...one-way. I was thinking of maybe recording something myself but I doubt if...

[quote user="Stefan Molyneux"] [quote user="dash"]One can look at a river and state, "Water always flows downhill." He need not subject it to any test or verification.[/quote] That's not right. First of all, empirical evidence is a "test or verification" - and second, one cannot validly extrapolate from a...
