How much money did Walker give to Trump so far?

@flanneljesus .... in his defence, this is about his eighth language. But he has openly boasted that he spent years learning Arabic for the sole purpose of making his own translation of the Quran... and specifically in order to perform that translation into an Excel spreadsheet where he has categor...

The trick works by asserting that really-real-reality would be some indescribable metaphysical thing known only to God. The distinction becomes silly when you abandon that weirdness because reality is the stuff you see when you look around, not some shadow realm recreation of that stuff. @flanneljes...

If the higher purpose of your quip is meant to compare the most corrupt and incompetent president in the history of the USA (Brandon) with one of the greatest presidents in the history of the USA as measured by results (Trump), you’re gonna have to do much, much better and start thinking with the m...

And now we learn that there were no sexes until the discovery of the gamete.

I now pronounce you gamete delivery system and gamete harvesting organism, you may exchange non vital fluids via your oral cavities.

When the knowledge domain in question relates to the entire variety of biological life, then anything so specific as stamens or antlers is natuarally to be excluded. When we are narrowing our scope to flowering plants then I imagine stamens are back on the menu. The fact is that if you are dealing ...

To better understand VA you need to abandon the notion that he starts with the principles and then follows them via argument to a conclusion. Admittedly that is an idealised model anyway which might workably apply to as many as 3 philosophers ever. But the usual thing is to try to adhere to such an...

You seem to be well aware that this sort of definition by accretion is brittle. Probably it would be easier to use a homeostatic property cluster to arrive at your naturalistic definition of male and female sexes - the male sex being the thing that links the very high probablity of having a certain...

I was expecting this objection. The statement "'Male' means making small gametes, and 'female' means making large gametes" is ambiguous insofar as it can be read narrowly as "making small/large gametes at present (now) " or broadly as "making small/large gametes during some...
