I'm sorry, why is helm so bad exactly?

That's a really profound sounding way of saying that life is complex and we don't understand it. Or are you saying that we do understand it? If so I'm sure you're in high demand ri…

That's circular reasoning. We're here so it must have happened in this specific way therefore it happened. Sure, an expertly guided experiment in a glass tube can make some basic a…

Would you agree that the systems at those scales are remarkably well architected to function in such conditions? Flawed analogies are the result of improper understanding and the n…

Thanks, I'll have a read! I'd like to note though that what ever the case, a beverage that she was expected to put to her lips managed to give her horrific burns. And there was, if…

Exactly, it's similar to the media frenzy around the woman who got seriously burned by Mcdonalds coffee and sued them. The reaction was mostly incredulity and mocking her, but the …
