Usually serious, but occasionally I troll—occasionally.
I'm not asking this sarcastically. I mean it sincerely. Are we stupid?
And by "we" I mean humanity as a whole. Including Newton. Including Einstein. And all of the Shakespeares, Platos, and Di Vincis. And even those grammatically correct, quip-filled, hard-studied Jeopardy gameshow contestants.
Are we stupid? What makes us so smart? What makes you so smart?
Thoughts?

11 AnswersPhilosophy8 years agoIf you replaced every single cell of your body one-by-one with a nanomachine, at what point are you not human?
Every single cell.
5 AnswersPhilosophy8 years agoIs the answer to our problems not ideology but technology?
Most of Washington quibbles about labor and wealth.
If robots did all of our physical labor, the robots would create all of our economic wealth.
A.) Wouldn't that just solve all of our problems at street level (build houses, harvest food, clothe us, etc.)?
B.)And wouldn't that render ideology obsolete?
Capitalism, communism, socialism. Who would care at that point?

5 AnswersPolitics8 years agoAs more of the globe becomes atheistic, what will replace the community aspect of church?
Yeah. I don't think there's a god. Big whoop.
I'm just curious about this question.
9 AnswersReligion & Spirituality8 years agoWhy do some people want everyone to have a gun, but also don't want every country to have nukes?
Seriously. This JUST occurred to me. It seems odd.
2 AnswersPolitics8 years agoWhy not tax millionairres based on the amount of jobs they create?
They create more jobs, get taxed less. They create less jobs, get taxed more.
10 AnswersPolitics8 years agoNon-atheists, what is the atheist argument?
Even if you don't agree, I am curious how well you can articulate the argument that you reject.
Honestly, I am not trying to pick on anyone. I respect your choice to believe what you believe; I am not attempting to de-convert you. I am just curious.
12 AnswersReligion & Spirituality8 years agoI believe I have come up with a definition for any order derivative. Can you check it for me?
I took a picture of it.

Oh. And I forgot to write that 'n' can only be an integer, too.
1 AnswerMathematics8 years agoIf a photon is a force-carrier, then does it have mass?
A photon is classified as a boson. Bosons are said to carry force.
Another famous boson is the Highs boson; some people for some reason call it the God particle.
3 AnswersPhysics8 years agoOkay. So there's a hypothsized subatomic particle to explain gravity (the graviton). How could we test it?
I understand that the graviton is not apart of the standard model. But what about the particles that are apart of the standard model?
How have we observed those objects?
I'm sure when we collide gold atoms together we don't observe different colored energy balls exploding outward and say, "So the green-looking one is an up quark, the blue-ish tiny one is an electron..." and so on.
How have we even convinced ourselves that these subatomic particles are real?
I understand that the math works out better than any other scientific theory, but how is that enough?
