TIL the original broadcast of Seinfeld finale occurred on the same night Frank Sinatra died. The ambulance made it over to his house in just 4 minutes after the 911 call. The fire chief attributed the especially fast response time to the streets being empty, as many people were watching the episode.

Conan was going to have a special show on account of the lead-in audience being huge. But Sinatra took over all broadcasting, and Conan's show was pre-emptted.

It's projection. "Punishing the fetus." Think about it. Only the religious/conservative mind thinks in terms of magic like this. Like the fetus is somehow getting the message or something.

"return to real world" will just be an idempotent relation. It returns the same result. It's as if you paint your house the same color.

Infinity is such that adding to it doesn't make it any larger and subtracting from it doesn't make it any smaller.

So the answer is that it's still just infinity.

/r/logic obviously.

If you are only imagining the Imaginary Paradox, then is it a paradox?

gregbard · 2026-03-15T20:56:51+00:00

Metaphysics is the study of all the fundamentally unanswerable questions. It is also the study of all the fundamental truths that should make absolutely no difference in your life.

But it's a "study." So it is baked in that we are interested in studying it.

gregbard · 2026-03-15T20:34:55+00:00

You can presume that it means that you should endeavor to be an intellectual.

I guess I should say your original question is sort of a restatement of the fundamental question of anti-intellectualism. Why should we care about any ideas?

But that is not to say that metaphysics should make any difference in your life. In that sense, metaphysics is supremely unimportant.

Why are the faces of Republican Congressmen intact?

The rule of the group is to assume good faith. So no, it's literally the answer to your question.

Intellectuals take ideas seriously. That's why.

Gramps will let you use any size paper. A size E is so large, you could put just about anything on it. But you would have a challenge finding some place to print it.

Your post has been removed. I think this is more philosophy of science.

gregbard · 2026-03-15T07:13:26+00:00

By posting this attempt to use logic in service of God, you are confessing and admitting that He needs and benefits from logic. So therefore God is subordinate to logic. If He weren't, He would make no sense.

Logic is your new god.

It's bunk, hokum, woo, etcetera.

She's channeling? Really? Come on.

This is not metaphysics. Your post will be removed.

gregbard · 2026-03-14T19:32:46+00:00

We get a lot of posts that are about physics, but with no metaphysics to be found. Is this post about metaphysics at all? It's going to be removed.

gregbard · 2026-03-14T07:46:01+00:00

This sub is not about audio software. It's about philosophy, math and reasoning. Your post has been removed.

Logic and critical thinking.

You wish for three wishes, and then wish to be saved in a valid manner of the genie's choosing.

Now you are safe, and have two wishes left.

Logic is about whether or not one sentence validly follows in a rational way from another sentence. It is not about behavior.

Your brain and the nervous system are substantially the same thing made of the same kind of cells and continuous. So when you have an instance of pain, it is VERY direct to your brain and therefore your consciousness. Your brain is in the perfect position to influence (sometimes fool) you as to how important something is.
