Thanks but I think you confuse absorption with diffusion?

Nope, I understand the difference.

Hi,

Aristotle was a student of Plato, Plato was a student of Socrates.

Why does Aristotle suggest one is not a number?



Connection_over_one  (a thing in its existence)   -   the unit

Connection_over_one (one/Set_"over"_one)  -  the number one

Toast will allow diffusion of solvents and ions but BC should have said "unbuttered toast".

When someone just died, we usually only talk about their good things.

Was Henry Kissinger a War Criminal?

Henry Kissinger, America?s most controversial statesman, is dead. Let?s explore the record of a man that some call a war criminal, and see what we can learn about American politics.

Henry Kissinger and the Moral Bankruptcy of U.S. Elites

Henry Kissinger is dead at the age of 100. The former U.S. statesman served as national security adviser and secretary of state at the height of the Cold War and wielded influence over U.S. foreign policy for decades afterward. His actions led to massacres, coups and and even genocide, leaving a bloody legacy in Latin America, Southeast Asia and beyond. Once out of office, Kissinger continued until his death to advise U.S. presidents and other top officials who celebrate him as a visionary diplomat. Yale historian Greg Grandin says those glowing obituaries only reveal "the moral bankruptcy of the political establishment" that ignores how Kissinger's actions may have led to the deaths of at least 3 million people across the globe. Grandin is author of "Kissinger's Shadow: The Long Reach of America's Most Controversial Statesman."

Searching for universal moral compass on YouTube, I found this.

I think I also found a gem.

Josh Rabenold - Moral Compass

LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
I miss reading the paper
Sprawled out on my mother?s kitchen table
I miss buying an album
To search the liner notes for managers and labels

[Pre-Chorus 1]
When exactly did the next-door neighbor
Take on the role of a perfect stranger?
Why can?t they look me in the eye
Anytime that I?m walking by?
[Chorus 1]
So you got yourself a moral compass
Well, please be careful where you?re pointing that thing
I think you?d find we?ve got a lot in common
If you?d only let me pour you a drink

[Post]
Oooh
If you?d only let me pour you a drink

[Verse 2]
I just found all the letters
An old girlfriend from high school used to write me
I can?t even remember
The last time that I saw my own handwriting

[Pre 2]
When exactly did that kid from college
Start making cold calls for Scientology?
Why can?t I look him in the eye
Anytime that he?s walking by?

[Chorus 2]
So you got yourself a moral compass
Well, please be careful where you?re pointing that thing
I think you?d find we?ve got a lot in common
That there?s a song we both know well enough to sing
[Post]
Oooh
That there?s a song we both know well enough to sing

Can universal morality exist?

Joshua and Ryan discuss if it's possible to achieve universal morality with mathematical physicist, economist, and podcaster Eric Weinstein.

IMO, Eric has a good starting point, and he was close to discover the universal morality.
