Yes but not for protection . p.s. If it was, why would this not be a 'willful' act? If its not then it must be a 'willful' act? No, of course not 'for' protection (poorly worded), perhaps as protection, or, different coloration happens at moments of decreased predation (correlation rather than caus...

... Poetic, but that doesn't make a chameleon who changes its coloring for protection... The problem with this fact is it's not, as the chameleon does not do this. Are you saying that a chameleon does not change coloring? Or merely arguing my poor wording? I'm willing to eliminate "for protect...

So far, your english is better then some of our native speakers!
Welcome.

The same cognitive error is applicable to '1/3'. We all know what a third of something is, one of three equal divisions. A beam balance can divvy up 1/3 ounce of gold rather easily. 3 (volumetrically and massively) = parts. Yet when we decimalize one third, we find the problem. There cannot ever be ...

Nameless,...you cannot define what philosophy is If you had read any of my posts, you would have noticed that I have defined philosophy as 'critical thought' . If I myself believed that I knew what I was talking about: declaring the truth about matters of such high interest, So do almost everyone. ...

Ahhh.. Heh.. loquacious yet loveable! Hmmm...

(You can 'name' me if you like, just between us! Shhhhh...)

Isn't there a Guinness Record Book category for the most words uttered in a thread by any one person, on a forum with no quality control?
Or perhaps medication is in order?
Or both?
You certainly have my vote!

Perhaps the point of the circle (yes, circles can have 'points', and 'points' can be circles!) is not the 'circleness', as there are many kinds (as many as perceptions thereof) of 'circle'.
Perhaps the point is how many 'points' can exist within that circle?

Its a nice thought but would it not be an example of a 'perfect' ring rather than a circle? As it has a third dimension from this perspective. The 'ring' is in the form of a perfect circle. Think, also, metaphor. The map is not the territory. Perfection is in the eye of the beholder. I perceive all...

Its a matter of Perspective.
The following illustration is a side view of a "perfect circle"!

Conclusion from some article : ‘ One of the best kept secrets of science is that physicists have lost their grip on reality.’ Just precious! * __- In my opinion to understand the paradoxes we must reconsider the old basis of the Physics. Already done and moving on. If you learned and understood som...

I'm sorry, but all observation is not theory-laden (whatever you consider "laden" to mean). Since you seem to reiterate my point in this, that observations are not theory-laden to any decisive degree in the natural sciences. Or anywhere else... This means that the scientific community is ...

nameless It's my belief that children have limited possibilities for own theories and thus they make the observations. I am equating your 'observations' with my 'perceptions'. That is who we are, what we do, perceive. We are Conscious Perspectives. From the moment that we 'earliest' perceive life, ...

Do you have examples where people get more acute rather than dull when they are observing? Sometimes neither. Sometimes there are no observed thoughts. Sometimes an observation is simply an observation with no thought involved. 'Theories' are 'thoughts'; no 'thought' = no 'theories' Are you relatin...
