I would suggest maybe trying these free Math Courses. I find learning math teaches a lot of humility and really helps to not think you know something when you can actually check to see if you are right or not.


By pushing the videos that Trump is using to snowball the vulnerable?
What, don't trust a religious institution like Princeton! My are we picky. :D

Edit: I don't know anything about that website, but it was the top result in free online math courses, so it could be a scam, but my point still stands.
The heathen don't appreciate free edumaction!:D

Nothing teaches humility like mathematics, especially calculus taught by a guy who can speak english. The chalk the talk and the hairy arm, but without the talk! Jesus Christ I paid for this!:D

Is political science, science or philosophy is economics? Science goes through elaborate social and pragmatic processes to remove biases, they are so prevalent in human thinking. Politics invokes passion especially when Trump is involved, their is strong (and proper ) aversion on a visceral level and this colors people's thinking, using logic and facts makes it very easy to think the worst of him. Yet others driven by other stronger feelings (mostly acquired) can ignore facts and logic, they love the guy and there are 40%+ of them in the country. My brief thesis explains this using a common modern psychological paradigm that correlates somewhat with Buddhist thinking on this subject. We are evolved beings and bear our evolutionary emotional burden in modern social settings where our instinctive social and emotional reactions make very little logical sense, it just seems that way.
I don't know how this relates to your idiotic posts about hydroxycholoroquine and vaccines. Your shitty posts were not based upon good science and both were influenced by some bias you have. I have rationally and factually explained why I say so.

We've given you objective, verifiable reasons for our skepticism of your source. Your answer is to attack the messenger.

I do lack flexibility when it comes to citing sources on medical science. The source should be reputable, credible and it needs good reference material. That is to say, the shit you posted from Medicrap was none of those. hannimal and I have explicitly explained why we say that. Your response is to call me neurotic. That may be true. Facts-based criticism of the crap you've been posting can come from a neurotic person and still be true. So, your logic fails one more time. Thanks for confirming that you have no good response by resorting to the oldest fallacy of logic -- the ad hominem.
You have a colorful history of ad hominem attacks and cruelty to others on this site, I reserve my spite exclusively for Trumpers, fools I usually cut slack to. If I were an evil and malicious man you would most certainly feel the heat, in a most skillful way.

To be driven by passion is often unwise and causes needless suffering to the passionate

Scientifically speaking the jury is still out on this recently proven dangerous drug.
The only reason hydroxychloroquine is in the press as much as it is, is because Trump talked about it and Republicans are defending him. There is no "scientifically speaking" about hydroxychloroquine as a remedy for covid. There never was. Some French guy ran a shitty study and Trump ran with it from there.

You really ought to find a different hill to die on.

Nice. You lost it and went into attack mode with fallcious logic and now it's my fault?

So, as you say in the above post, you "must restrain fist of death" because I continue to stand on the facts about your shitty posts.

Suggest you stop making shitty posts in this forum.

Yeah in calc 1 you're still pretty much trying to learn the college algebra you need, In Calc 2 the algebra is ok but you are still struggling with the calculus. By around Calc 3 I started to really understand what was going on and how useful math is and it opened up my understanding of how to apply it in the real world. And it is still incredibly humbling, because you learn that just knowing stuff is bullshit, the steps taken is how you get to the right answer, and the very decisive 'wrong' when you screw up something can't be nuanced away.

He's certainly dug in on this. Reminds me of a child that isn't getting its way. No amount of reasoning gets through to him.

I stand on the facts that I presented. Looking at your fact-free posts, I feel that you've made my case for me.

Time to move on foggy and stay with the moment
This is a political forum and posting right wing supported propaganda here will receive the appropriate criticism. You've lost your argument, you've lost your mind and you are losing credibility. It's too late to tell you to stop while you are ahead. Instead, I'll refer to the old saying that when one realizes they are digging themselves into a hole the first thing they must do is stop digging.

You have two alternatives. Stop posting that crap. Or, post that crap elsewhere.

Carry on foggy. just make sure your motives are pure, but that is very difficult when in the grip of passion, unless one is mindful and few are all the time, myself included.

I'm not the one leaning into emotional outbursts and calling others names. Just saying you are projecting your own feelings onto others. I stick by the facts that I've presented. You can call me names if you think it helps you feel better. The facts remain regardless.

You have a history of name calling and cruelty to others here, except for Trumpers( war) I do not. Now bury the bone and move on. ;)

Suggest that if you want to avoid your shitty faux science posts being taken as political propaganda that you post them somewhere other than the political forum. If not, the suck it up buttercup.
