Variou...Well me of course.<br />I suspect its always me.<br />Various me's that is.<br />In your position I would be tempted to assume that one Anon is posting.<br />That assumption would be wrong however.<br />You have had a good run.<br />And apart from little hiccups like being banned from the Beginners Forum on E Sangha due to the misleading nature of your replies ( along with the moronic "Muga"..) your bluff has not been called.<br /><br />Its being called.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904219782540965444.post-85147716553232184182013-01-28T07:19:41.443-05:002013-01-28T07:19:41.443-05:00I don't mind being told I am wrong, since it i...I don't mind being told I am wrong, since it is often true. What I do wonder about is this: If I (or anyone else) is wrong, where is the critic's willingness or ability to explain what is right? And if a critic can't do that, who then is the greater asshole?genkakuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12135705172119950326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904219782540965444.post-63531086299406864172013-01-28T06:01:30.517-05:002013-01-28T06:01:30.517-05:00See, the issue us not when someone calls you out a...See, the issue us not when someone calls you out about a factoid of science..you can just respond by going into your folksy " all coy<br />shucks " shtick.<br />The real issue is your constant and just as frequent misrepresentation of Zen. <br />To which you will also respond with characteristic passive/ aggression.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904219782540965444.post-32232041557700803592013-01-27T20:37:46.385-05:002013-01-27T20:37:46.385-05:00Ignorance is profitable in many ways so go for it!...Ignorance is profitable in many ways so go for it!<br /><br />Freddy Gauss See great( x4) uncle's websitehttp://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/history/Biographies/Gauss.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904219782540965444.post-72652681900036731692013-01-27T14:26:30.113-05:002013-01-27T14:26:30.113-05:00Freddy -- When it comes to science and mathematics...Freddy -- When it comes to science and mathematics, I plead woefully guilty to ignorance.<br /><br />But when has ignorance ever stopped anyone? :)genkakuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12135705172119950326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904219782540965444.post-43219886453333366312013-01-27T13:39:41.478-05:002013-01-27T13:39:41.478-05:00You'd do well to stay away from Mathematics in...You'd do well to stay away from Mathematics in your toasty little posts, good chum. I daresay you have no idea about Euclidean and non-Euclidean spaces.<br /><br />Plainly, in the world as conceived by the average bloke, parallel lines are simply lines that have the same distance from each other and hence will <b>never, ever intersect.</b><br /><br />For the slightly above average fellow, it may be easy to imagine that all of space is contained in a pliable, amorphous semi solid that can be twisted this way and that and even folded over under and through itself. But to consider parallel line this is of little practical value in daily life and is most probably completely wrong anyway. Think, if you will, of Occam's Razor.<br /><br />As for infinity, and parallel lines meeting there, as you put it, "What would Gotama say?"<br /><br />Freddy Gaussnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904219782540965444.post-85442184249628935992013-01-27T09:56:23.477-05:002013-01-27T09:56:23.477-05:00If the universe is expanding, maybe parallel lines...If the universe is expanding, maybe parallel lines bend around the left and right corners and meet in the middle on the way back.Patricia Ivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02748691542068211518noreply@blogger.com
