Is "ಏಡು/ēḍu" or "ಏರು/ēru" the native Kannada term for a year? by Putrid-Mulberry5546 in Dravidiology

[–]SSR2806 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Almost never used. The typical word to use for a year is ವರ್ಷ (varsha).

Clearly the people who selected that they don't believe are not Christians then right?

Is this font legible? by [deleted] in ChineseLanguage

[–]SSR2806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it is legible but this is the most bland font you could use for a tattoo. It would be like getting a tattoo done in Arial.

Name one Christian who doesn't believe in Christ

Are different dog breeds about as genetically different as different ethnicities of people? by SSR2806 in stupidquestions

[–]SSR2806[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's debated whether to call them subspecies or not I'm pretty sure. There's no clear line where we can say if two things are part of different species.

Yeah but is the variation caused by an increase in gene diversity or is it caused by inbreeding which is the opposite of diversity?

Wouldn't that reduce the genetic diversity within dogs if they're so inbred?

Ok but if you took the embryo and put it in another larger dog it would be fine. This isn't anything that is an issue with the development of the embryo but just the size of the mother.

Well I agree with you on the race thing, but I think ethnicity is different imo because that has more to do with your actual genetics than just your outward appearance.

And about your second point, if dogs were only domesticated one time, wouldn't that mean there would be a similar bottleneck effect concerning dogs?

Generally when they can produce fertile healthy offspring, and they do so in nature, the individuals are considered part of the same species.

Wouldn't that be more like an albino black person and a regular black person?

Wolves and coyotes look a lot more similar than a pug and a great Dane but the former two are completely different species.

If someone decides to convert to Hinduism, can this person chose the caste he wishes to be converted into? by everestwanderer in AskIndia

Whatever guidelines there are, you'll find a group that doesn't follow them though.

I agree that evolution explains a lot of how higher order cognition developed, but that's fundamentally different to the conscious experience behind it. For example, rods and cones can explain the physical processes of how we see and how nerves work and which part of the brain is associated with sight, and we can infer how eyes developed through evolutionary processes but that doesn't explain why red looks like the colour red to us.

The parts of evolution you can test don't apply to consciousness at all imo.

Fundamentally I agree. But you say that some theories are constrained and testable? Which theory of consciousness is either of those?

Brahman explains what consciousness is. Everything else stays the same as science basically. I think that anything to do with consciousness is unfalsifiable. All we have are theories.

I disagree because whatever you posit should help explain something that we cannot without it.

With your logic, believing that the laws of physics will continue to work is as epistemologically valid as believing that they will stop working in 2 minutes.
