Well, someone who just enjoys hearing themselves talk might not be thinking clearly, while I believe I’m still able to write sensibly to this thread and forum.
And
who first went off-topic ? see Post #72 and now Post #78. And what sort of accomplishment do you think someone needs to achieve to be proven to someone like
@Hawk256 and
@Bob, no financial gain. But If you come across a post in this thread that you find misleading or insulting to your intelligence, it's important to challenge it and explain why. We can also continue discussing the value of credible sources and reliable witnesses in forming beliefs
in a separate thread. If you start a new thread on that topic, I’d be glad to contribute to the discussion
Do you watch the news on TV or read newspapers? If so, ask yourself why do you do that? When you follow news about events happening in parts of the world you can’t personally witness, you rely on credible sources, reputable journalists and media outlets, as your eyes and ears. That’s one of the core functions of journalism: to report on events so the public doesn’t need to be physically present to understand and believe what’s happening
A simple answer is: maybe yes, maybe no, you just don't know for sure. But what's the likelihood that it's true, especially when it's something controversial or hard to believe and the claim comes from an unknown person with no reputation on the subject. Hoaxes and scams do happen, don’t they? That’s exactly why probability theory exists in science to assess such uncertainties.
For example, if someone claims they can compound your money by 60%pa consistently over the long term by trading forex or stocks, but their track record doesn’t even come close to that of world-renowned traders like Jim Simons, would you really trust them to manage your money, or to learn their method?
I'm not sure if you're familiar with how referencing works in scientific, academic journals, books. Scientists, including Nobel laureates, support their theses and theories by citing, referencing to credible sources and previously published scientific work.
Rational individuals tend to place more trust in research, news, reports published by reputable sources, rather than in claims made by random, unknown individuals on the internet
Well, since you're asking, here we go. Most senior high school students know about the law of energy conservation. Noone on this earth could
GENERATE or destroy energy, you could only
CONVERT energy from one form to another. This could also be applied when you want to make hydrogen fuel cell from water, thin air (water vapour) e.g by separating H2 and O2. But you will still need energy to separate them. If a person is unfamiliar with this basic concept, then he is likely not as informed as the average high school students. And clearly, no one sensible would consider someone like Galileo to be just an average person.
On the contrary cars here are way over priced. A mini Cooper here costs more than a range rover in dubai The "cheap" cars here are the Chinese and Malaysian ones made out of cardboard with no suspension A cheap car in Europe is a Ford fiesta or Renault 5 or VW golf. All of those here (if you...
