  1. Tsunderes are adorable outside of them. Not biased at all.
  2. It's a holiday in Cambodia It's tough, kid, but it's life It's a holiday in Cambodia Don't forget to pack a wife
  3. Why did you stay? 1. Because that's as far as he needs to go? 2. Because the track ends after 6 stations and the train reverses at the end, putting him back at station 5?
  4. Favourite riddle? Aaah. Good one. I like it. I had to cheat a little to get it, but it's actually similar to the blue eyes one. The first pirate should propose a split of 98:0:1:0:1 in order from first to last pirate. Assuming you meant 50% including the one making the proposal, not except for them.
  5. The answer to the guru question has a one-sentence answer. Next favorite riddle? A day with an old friend listening to the soundtrack for Vanguard.
  6. Everyone on the island can see at least 1 blue eyed person. So what new information does the guru provide when they make the announcement?
  7. 100 blue eyed leave after 100 days. I think I told you that one. What new information does the guru provide?
  8. What brought you to Serenes Forest? If they know how many of each color there are, then Dan knows his own color by elimination. If not, then it is impossible without more information, such as what they know and who guesses first.
  9. You can only "touch" them after S, I thought.
  10. Favourite Greek deity and why? Minotaur. Strong, bogeyman-like. My type.
  11. If you could speak one sentence into everyone's mind at once, what thought would you give them? No idea about that.
  12. Nightmare was talking about how Frollo was similar to Javert. I see what he means now.
  13. The memes that propagate the most are the most inflammatory ones, the ones that inspire anger, propagating like a virus. In others words people are not rational, so they do not make decisions that are better for themselves or for others. What do you think?
  14. Same question as last post. ^ Hits and thefts, probably.
  15. Same question. Unnoticeability (from the Wizard Heir series).
  16. What is the ideal social structure? A civilization is a collection of individuals with complex symbiotic relationships to each other, especially a division of labor, all working together for both their benefit and the benefit of others. Essentially large scale teamwork. The more civilized the people, the better they work together with others. The less civilized, the worse.
  17. What does the landscape of your mind look like? The intelligence of its members. For the public good, what Dwlr did wrong here, at least in my opinion, was to assume that I was not aware of the axiomatic nature of philosophy and truth. I believe, as he does, that all knowledge has some level of subjectivity. Consequently all logical statements are actually if...then statements, with some kind of assumption at the beginning. If X is true, then Y is true. X is not necessarily true. However, saying that it is not necessarily true is not enough to discount my argument. In order for my argument to be wrong, either one of my premises has to be false or my deduction from those premises has to be false. If you disagree with one of the premises and have a reason to disbelieve it, that's fine; that counts as a refutation of the reasoning. e.g. X is false, therefore my reasoning is deductively valid but applies to nothing. But if you agree with all of the basic assumptions, e.g. if you believe that X is true, then refuting it requires more thinking. This is the exercise I had in mind for him. It is unacceptable to say that one of the premises must be wrong without specifying which one simply because you disagree with the ultimate conclusion, because that is a fallacy of division. You must either conclude that specific premises are wrong, find the flaw in the deduction, or accept the argument. There are multiple avenues for discounting my proof, including those that agree with his belief in subjective philosophy, but ignoring it, and me, is not one of them.
