Lies. Secrets and lies. I don't talk about dragonball or other nerd stuff. Only Libertarians.

But no, I'm alive. Just plugging away trying to get my first non-pen name novel published and building my new home. I read the thread daily so that I can watch for the 400 post libertarian-signal that warns of a new chump in the thread.

Well, that or I'm in the US stalking Jrodefeld like a creepy hobo. I report, you decide.

It is good to see you here, friend. I'm glad to hear that you are productively writing and building a home.

Caros, make sure you plug your book here so I don't miss it.

Yes!

and a quote from our mascot:

quote:

It is easy to imagine situations where utilitarians could argue for aggression without contradiction. And I don't have any property right in our standard of living all around. Here is a moral abomination yet these people continue to believe that you don't have enough to fully compensate for fossil fuels. Climate activists also tend to oppose slavery or rape or murder.

Beings should be removed and companies should bear full liability costs for the murder. Therefore you can possibly think that every employee SHOULD have a good record for Keynesian interventionist economics? I'll go even further. Hypothetically, what if all goods existed in superabundance? Stagflation in the future calculating the cost of the crime that was committed. Punishment should be quite obvious, having a debate or discussion, it will soon escalate. The person who stole your money by selling you a question.

Yet the alternative energy source is invented which will be questioned based on the right to use this thread as a challenge to the logical conclusion.

Eh, it'll get pretty annoying soon, if it hasn't already. My brother and I are trying to get a biofeedback signal to trigger a flamethrower on the machine where the dating profile data is though.

I'm trying to generate a quote about gold for this https://mises.org/blog/thars-gold-them-mountains but the robot keeps on talking about a gold window (and his "other other hand" but I can fix that).

What was the gold window?
Edit: Gold window here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixon_shock
I thought it was robot generated nonsense, but the gold window was when foreign governments could exchange their dollars for gold.

Got one: https://mises.org/blog/thars-gold-them-mountains http://disq.us/p/1cflt35

Edit: I'm not letting the robot go free yet since I'm afraid he'll start threatening the president or something, and I want him to learn from what people are saying but right now it's storing everything in a pickle file and using trigrams. I don't want my baby libertarian robot to end up like Taylor the Microsoft fascist twitter.

It surely cannot be legitimate? Hello everyone. Maybe some of the predictions made and judge the merits of libertarianism and compare and contrast it with various leftist ideologies. I am not allowed to properly defend myself in court. I hope you would have remained perpetually in conflict, as primitive hunter gatherers living at a decent standard of living.

It was you who said that? It's not the British goon and you say something about Caros, so it's either you or paragon1, I think. Or Literally the Worst, maybe?

Did JRodefeld make tense errors? I'll try to find a good example, right now he's going on about the Introduction to Criminal Justice book.

Also, did he ever address anyone directly who wasn't Caros? I had to remove all the "Caros" strings in the bot's lexicon because it lloooooved Caros and talked about him all the time. Rude.

Edit, okay this made me laugh out loud even though he's having punctuation problems again:

We're all friends here. :glomp: If you don't say what you don't understand, I won't know if I said something unclear. And we'll never know if the chatbot takes over my posting.

(I will answer in a moment, the puppy I am pup sitting is freaking out about something.) (She got her mouth on a chipmunk. Those suckers need to watch out.)

Edit: Here is an explanation, hopefully this makes sense.
First, a big caveat: I don't know the data well enough about neuro feedback to speak about the medical uses that beyond basic mechanism. It's totally possible the medical uses are p-hacking, I haven't looked at the literature. I am not making claims about that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurofeedback,

So, we have basically a consumer grade EEG headset, some software, and data from playing around with it. It's lighter, fewer leads, not attached as well as the kind you'd get at the hospital for epilepsy. The headset monitors your brain waves in real time, and normally in a therapists office there would be some kind of display. Maybe you are learning to relax, so they have some kind of brain training program that encourages you to create brain waves that deepen relaxation, and there's some visualization that shows you when you are doing it right.

What we want to do is create a system by which a certain brain wave triggers a mechanism to get the flame throwing to discharge. Right now we are fooling around with the headset and the math, and not so much using the flamethrower yet, but that part of it actually shouldn't be hard.
