String theory is full of BS. There is plenty of BS in physics. Because everything hinges on it. The point is that you cannot define a method for truth because it is infinite and non-algorithmic. Good luck getting Dave to understand this. No it doesn't. And whatever definition you create will lead to falsehoods. Yes it is. Certainly rigor is problematic.

Then how come something like 50% of scientific studies fail to replicate? Lack of rigor within science. And the problem with this notion of "rigor" is that it's very much subjective and biased. I could argue that ignoring evidence of the paranormal is lack of rigor on the part of materialists like Dave. The problem is that Dave claims to be rigorous but he isn't. If he was truly rigorous he would not be a materialist. Science defines rigor in a circular manner as whatever aligns with its dogmas.

As does Dave. Every criticism of pseudoscience applies to science itself. It takes astounding bias not to recognize that.

Ironically, Dave is the prime example of science as dogma. Science doesn't have to be dogma, but when a mind as arrogant as Dave's gets ahold of it, dogma it becomes. Dave's buffoonery makes science look stupid.

Don't use this thread to try to ban people.

Welcome

@UnbornTao I didn't say anything about his degree of awakening. That's besides the point here.

Ken Wilber knows what he's talking about. He's not a bullshitter.

Or just out of touch as a teacher.

There is no time limit on the ban.

@Past-Philosopher-562 I don't see anything special with regards to INTP in developing consciousness. It's tough work regardless of your personality type.

I spoil you guys with examples. Most teachers do not.

@Vrubel I warned you guys. I will ban anti-Israeli biased people as well if I see them doubling down.

Seems okay.

@Lila9 You have been blocked from posting on the Politics sub-forum. I just warned you. And you double-down.

I am not allowed. I was not born in the US.

I see it as you lacking the consciousness to be objective.

His other books are good so I'd expect these to be good too.

@Vrubel The stuff you post here is quite biased.

As long as you are being mindful of being balanced in your presentation of this complex issue.

People who keep pushing their bias here with no self-awareness or shame will be blocked from posting in the politics sub-forum. We have standards here against blatant spreading of bias. If you wish to participate in political discussions here, demonstrate an ability to be fair, balanced, and objective. Some bias is okay, but constantly pushing your side's agenda is not. This is your last warning.

Locking this.

I don't know what that means. So?? By forcing yourself to do work.

I studied the functions a bit but didn't do much beyond that.

@Squeekytoy Behave yourself.
