• A reply on Talk: Taylor Wilson: My radical plan for small nuclear fission reactors

  2 days ago: can you explain to me, in semi-layman's terms, on chemical engineer level, why is it any better than a fusor or a tokamak?

• A reply on Talk: Taylor Wilson: My radical plan for small nuclear fission reactors

  2 days ago: i ask the last time: how do you know that? you are expert in the field? i looked up discussions, and many experts doubted that it would be any better than what we have.

  A reply on Conversation: What do you think about Islam?

  2 days ago: no, i would say "please don't molest children and don't cover up such crimes. do not support dictators and war criminals for money, do not kill, threaten or beat up abortion clinic employees, and do not deny facts and support pseudosciences"

• A reply on Conversation: What do you think about Islam?

  2 days ago: "cannot be confined exclusively to Islam."
  
  and i did not do that.

• A reply on Conversation: What do you think about Islam?

  2 days ago: so the question is: in a dire situation, would i be able to stick to my principles or not. why does it matter? i don't want anyone to follow me. follow my principles.
  
  btw blowing things up obviously does not solve anything, and only puts them in an even more dire situation. so you can't really support blowing things up with utilitarian arguments either.

• A reply on Conversation: What do you think about Islam?

  2 days ago: guess what, i would say
  
  "please don't blow up things"
  
  am i consistent or what?

• A reply on Conversation: What do you think about Islam?

  2 days ago: because ... i blew up anything? or called for? or supported?

• A reply on Conversation: The removal of all patents

  2 days ago: i recommend you to check out the video lecture i have posted here

• A reply on Conversation: What do you think about Islam?

  2 days ago: to make it stop. some people quit their religion, and seeing the other perspective can be a factor in that. btw i'm not a diehard advocate of abandoning all religious beliefs. i'm with sam harris on that: abandon crazy behavior. religion is not an excuse for crazy / evil / irrational behavior. so as long as you don't do evil things, i don't care what do you believe. thus my original post: stop doing these things, and we are OK.

  2 days ago: again, we have to believe it just because you say so? you sound like a sales agent.
