On one point, it’s not really designed for straight math at all. It also helps if someone is educated in approaching the tool as a whole. Then it works great.

My point was religion, spirituality, philosophy and esoteric thought has led to some scientific advancement and important scientific thought. I never said all or most or anything like that either. You could run a google search and find Cambridge or Ivy League academics saying similar things.

You missed the essence of my point imho. But we are all entitled to our own opinion. I never even used the word gods btw.

You are missing the heart of this imho. You should read Planck’s ‘Philosophy of Physics’. It’s an excellent perspective on the relationship between known and unknown and how science cannot explain everything.

For instance, explain consciousness to me……

You can’t. And yet we know consciousness is a thing.

Plus, spirituality, philosophy, metaphysics, esoteric thought and even religion have bridged important gaps that led to greater scientific progress for humankind. This is fairly well acknowledged by academics. So essentially we wouldn’t be where we are today without this other, rich human thought.

Humans love the black and white even though the universe is actually grey and about balance.

“I won’t try to ruin my own country completely, but I might invade a sovereign nation for no reason”.

I'll stay calm here and kindly explain again. Him not knowing he had classified in his possession IS THE ISSUE. He was the VP and hit was his staff. He and / or his staff mishandling and improperly storing the classified is on Joe Biden. Not anyone else. It is his responsibility and he is responsible for his staff. His NEED TO KNOW is the reason that the classified was in his and / or his staff's possession. You being solely focused on the fact they reported it once found completely and willfully ignores the mishandling and incompetence on him and his staff's part that got the classified in these PRIVATE spaces in the first place. Thank you.

Except this completely ignores the non-protocol and incompetency leading to it being mishandled and stored improperly for years. It’s willful blindness. “But now they are handling it properly” isn’t the point here. It’s that it occurred IN MULTIPLE INSTANCES and led to documents in multiple locations. That’s not ok.

I voted for Biden once and that’s all he will ever get out of me.

Biden had Top Secret unsecured. It’s bad. Forget what trump did and set it aside. Just evaluate it on the merits. Lot of people looking like hypocrites and dying on an unnecessary hill. Bad look. I’m non conservative, but Jesus Christ this is sad.

Why run an 80 year old in 2024 anyway. Biden could resign and quickly solve that problem. Then the Dems can decide to run Harris or another.
