Im almost positive this is either the same exact story being posted a year later, either way I distinctly remember the same argument of "it's behind glass, dumbasses" being mentioned last time.

Except it does correlate meaningfully, don't believe me? Break your index finger, does it hurt? No shit.

That's not to say the nervous system can't create pain that has no source, the entire condition of fibromyalgia is evidence of that possibility, but to say they aren't meaningfully correlated is insane.

Most people who have pain unrelated to medical diagnosis in their 30's and 40's are fat as hell, eat like crap, and get no exercise, and are constantly dehydrated. That's why they hurt so damn much.

I wonder if complete sedentary lifestyles correlate with inflammation, stress on joints, and overall negative health outcomes?

Hmmm... If only there were studies on such a thing.

Calzone, no open sides in the initial structure. Creating one during eating it shouldn't affect that.

Was it known that entire time? Last I checked they fired him once the allegations came out.

You might just live in crime central, that's not happening everywhere. Probably on an individual cost of cashier versus lost stock basis with each location.

The issue is that one specialist can oversee how many AI job holders? How many jobs are we getting rid of that will supposedly be bolstered by the new jobs created in the fields of manufacturing and AI hosting/training?

Now how many of those jobs have or will actually materialize?

That's my issue, it'll just get placed on IT's shoulders without any additional support.

The primary issue with Aquinas is that he's essentially pairing a "god of the gaps" fallacy with philosophical ideas that predate the scientific method we would need in order to functionally claim most of what he's talking about.

For example, he declares with confidence in his fourth way that because somethings are hotter, colder, etc. that there must also be an ultimate good just like there is ultimate heat. He begins the claim with scientific observation and then immediately rolls it into the field of philosophy and ethics. Now someone from the year 500AD might not consider that an issue since the scientific method didn't even exist at the time and all natural philosophy was on the same playing field, but modern people wouldn't consider those two fields to just be overlapping and logically interchangeable in that manner.

In the fifth way he claims that because certain beings have agency (or sapience, like us) and certain objects do not, that all non sapient objects must operate according to a being with said agency. This is patently untrue with modern scientific understanding as well, water flows because of friction and gravity, not because it was caused to do so by a god of some variety. Rocks fall, seasons change, etc. all due to natural processes. Not because there NEEDS to be a being with knowledge that guides it.

It's interesting because this claim is foundless as he hasn't proven that all objects operate based on a "plan" of some variety, he merely makes the claim that a plan from a sapient being is required for anything to happen and then begins to assess conclusions based on said claim. Moreso than that, it occurs in contradiction with his attempted understanding at potential and kinetic energy from the first way. He seems to have an idea about potential energy but then throws it out to just claim that objects or animals without knowledge operate on something else's will.

Thus beginning a long standing religious tradition of using scientific rhetoric where its helpful and attempting to shoehorn philosophy in where it contradicts or fails to uphold.

Everyone believes it to be metaphorical or mythical "in part" the difference is where they draw that line.

Outside of YEC Flat Earthers everyone believes that passage in Exodus where the sun stopped moving to be a metaphor, but most evangelical Christians still take the creation story to be literal.

It's to be a lesson to someone else, or something. Idk.

Manufacturing is usually urban, and last I checked that's where most blue is. Farming and agriculture is red, sure.

Military is split, infantry probably skews red but the AF seems mixed and the Navy is pretty liberal in my experience.

I literally said they're following the tech sector, and why wouldn't AI also affect tech in general?
