IMAliyu2:They conveniently forget the will of the Ukrainians and Yanukovych thwarting it. |
Nononsense247:Shut me up or kill me if you can. I do not want Tinubu to fail. If Tinubu fails, it's me and my family and you who will suffer while Tinubu will end up much richer. budaatum: |
Seems the op stopped learning history in 1815. Further learning will show him NATO began with the Treaty of Dunkirk signed by Britain and France. It was created to eliminate wars, and not to fight wars.
|
Everything should have doubled in price by now since Tinubu is performing wonders! I expect Corpers allowee to double too, though there appears to be no plan to increase it. Mẹ? I'm very Obidient.

Poor Buda. At least they are investigating. Times were when it would have been deemed he got what he deserved. |
ErnestNc:It is not your fault. I blame the Nigerian education system for depriving you of knowledge. Creation and_evolution in public education

guysbewise:Noticed you had no source. Here's some ketchup. US judge bans intelligent design from science lessons |
cooooooks:I can't possibly agree with this, though my responding is because I do agree with your other points. Removal of tariff on imported food will make it even less profitable to grow at home and thereby kill off farmers and increase unemployment. You might enjoy cheap food to start with, but you'd eventually pay more when our currency depreciates due to the loss of food exports. I am biased of course. I am a farmer. |
Has anyone asked about increasing the value of Nairaland yet? Selling shares so it's vision is not led by a single individual might do it and even Nigeria some good. |

If I were your parent I would not allow you to waste the money I've already paid for you to go to Unizik. You haven't exactly produced any returns on money already spent, so why would parent I expect returns if I spent any more? Worst is if you chose Unizik and the course by yourself, because that's like parent let's you order what you like in a restaurant, and when waiter brings it and after you eat small, you say you don't like it no more and want to order something else instead. One thing uni teaches, though not exactly on the curricula, is resilience. It's a course worth passing. |
triplechoice:Well, you did ask me to 0r9ve to you that it was, do it wouldn't exactly be remise if me to assume you thought otherwise. triplechoice:Your question is as senseless as asking what the source of the universe is. Hopefully, you are aware these things came into existence long before I did and any claim I may make about their source would be in the form of "dem say", which I have derided you for doing on here from the onset and so would not do so myself. Fact however remains that consciousness, and mind, are inherent in living things which are matter, and thinking otherwise is to assume matter itself came out of thin air. P.s. You might benefit from downloading and listening to Aristotle extensive writing on this subject. https://archive.org/download/aristtl/Aristotle/Aristotle%20-%20Metaphysics.m4b I sure would benefit if you do as it would bring you up to a level where you are competent to discuss the topic. Do note that more modern writings exist too, like Karl Popper for instance. Reading such books will reduce your belief in the rubbish you been spilling here, and give you insight into the relevant skills to help you determine if you think right or wrong. |
triplechoice:Then simply present here the details of your tests instead of asking for anecdotes to be believed please. If one studys your evidence and finds what you found one might end up advertising it for you even if one finds no use for it oneself. Those who care to listen to you will. I've been partially listening to you because I care too, and what I'm finding is unbelievable. |
triplechoice:You should test your product before you bring it to market, Triple. Or you might arrive at the market and potential non-buyers call you fake. |
Plato argued that all things have a universal form, which could be either a property or a relation to other things. When one looks at an apple, for example, one sees an apple, and one can also analyse a form of an apple. In this distinction, there is a particular apple and a universal form of an apple. Moreover, one can place an apple next to a book, so that one can speak of both the book and apple as being next to each other. Plato argued that there are some universal forms that are not a part of particular things. For example, it is possible that there is no particular good in existence, but "good" is still a proper universal form. Aristotle disagreed with Plato on this point, arguing that all universals are instantiated at some period of time, and that there are no universals that are unattached to existing things. In addition, Aristotle disagreed with Plato about the location of universals. Where Plato spoke of the forms as existing separately from the things that participate in them, Aristotle maintained that universals exist within each thing on which each universal is predicated. So, according to Aristotle, the form of apple exists within each apple, rather than in the world of the forms.[34][37] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aristotle |
kkins25:I haven't read the whole of Plato's works myself neither. Would have if I'd found them as a youth and had the time though. Still read enough to find an understanding of his methods is beneficial and quickly moved on to reading the more advanced Aristotle. |

Youths should read some Plato so they can be smarter than their parents. https://www.nairaland.com/7731741/mission#123856489 |
triplechoice:Dude, I do not need to provide you with evidence that your mind is a part of your body since I am offering my subjective opinion and not some objective fact, and because it's perfectly okay with me if you don't think your mind is part of your body. Besides, evidence is me educating you, and it's not like you paid school fees or deserve to be taught by me. |
triplechoice:I'm certain we can agree that you have not done anything that is described in the link you posted. And that's why we claim your so called evidence lacks credibility.
|
triplechoice:Yes, Triple, if matter means physical substance in general, which occupies space and possesses rest mass, and despite my hesitance at the word, "emerge". Mind and consciousness are inherent in living things (as opposed to your "emerged" ), which are matter because they have physical substance which occupies space and possesses rest mass. That is not to say all physical substance which occupies space and possesses rest mass has a mind and or consciousness as one would note from observing a rock. [url=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind%E2%80%93body_problem]Here's a link[/url] to some reading explaining how the mind and body (matter) are interlinked. It should get you up to speed. |
triplechoice:There's different sorts of anecdotal evidence. I've used 2 stories from my past so far as anecdotal evidence of my claim, and I don't expect you to believe nor accept my anecdotal evidence as scientific evidence for my claim because it isn't. There is so much "scientifically proven" out there to try before you get to "proven anecdotally", Triple, though I confess that depends on the environment one is in. If one were poor and healthcare cost tons, one would need to consider the financial cost of a cure and thereby go for alternatives than more expensive proven cures for instance. I have a friend who tried alternatives. She had breast cancer and refused the scientifically proven treatments, preferring the alternative herbal treatments. She died in 3 years while a neighbour of mine survived for 25 years of the same breast cancer because she went to hospital. "Scientifically proven" does not necessarily mean a thing has to be investigated by scientist, since any individual can investigate if a thing works themselves. We do it with all medications we take be they herbal or more rigourously tested medicines. We take them, and if we survive, they've worked. And that's us doing science, as in, using our own senses to judge a thing. If I then recommend that cure to someone else, the least I could do, if I'm the honest educated sort, is keep records of the outcomes, which is just more science, as it gives me data that I can objectively consider. That's the sort of "science" the TB Joshuas of this world don't do that makes us skeptical of their claims. At best they present anecdotal evidence. In reality they are scammers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTfKpAWkgJY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZbR5DMksDE |
triplechoice:People give their money to gods too, and digest sniper that has been proven to kill, so I'd hesitate at using what people do as evidence. triplechoice:I know because whatever evidence you have so far presented is anecdotal at best, and of little quality and value. triplechoice:Sorry, but I do not do "natural abilities people are born with". People used to call on my ma at all hours, some caught short and not being able to get to hospital. At nights it was mostly labour, a woman on the verge of birth giving. My job was to ensure water was boiled and towels were at hand to receive the arriving baby. It always amazed me that the babys were not born with the most normally expected natiral ability to breath, and only learnt by reacting to their new environment. If we did not teach humans how and where to shìt they'd be shítting on themselves due to the lack of the "natural ability" to know better. triplechoice:You should try reading instead of focusing on your market. It will help you learn to improve your product budaatum:The placebo works. And for your information, there's sufficient knowledge out there about why and how it works that you can go find out if you are not too lazy to do the work. And it's you who's hell bent on "why it works, and not me. I don't know why nor how NDEs or OBEs or even dreams work and people still claim to have had them. triplechoice:This is true, Triple, very true indeed. I myself apply it to writing on here by not writing long senseless tirades that only muddle and deduct from conversations. Those who write too much tend not to be listening to themselves and have problems reflecting. Point is, after the above, I stopped reading. My time is too precious to be wasted on nonsense. |
With the vast number of dreams an individual would have through its lifetime it is very likely to have a few dreams which seem to be predictions of the future but I doubt any one but a swindler would set up shop on such skills. https://www.sleepfoundation.org/dreams/precognitive-dreams

triplechoice:Your claims are not even properly reported anecdotes not to talk of scientifically proven, but no wonder you are so pained. buda is spoiling your market. If you were conscious you'd have known this is the wrong place to set up stall to sell what you're selling, but you'd learn eventually I suppose.
|
triplechoice:Triple, let us not rely on guess work. Gods forbid, but if you fall ill I am guessing you will not go to a herbalist for a herbal remedy that is not scientifically proven unless you are broke and poor. Tell me you wouldn't go to a scientifically trained medical doctor instead.
|
triplechoice:You should at least be sufficiently "properly trained to carry out scientific research concerning the things" you plan to sell to the public don't you think? Most societies have their NAFDAC to ensure not properly trained you don't sell your untested snake skin oil to the public. |
I found the below to be sufficiently true.

triplechoice:Coming from a home shared by a medical professional, I can't possibly be that stupid and ignorant. Cure for temperature amongst many is to cover the shivering person in lots of clothing which rises their temperature even further. Some don't have fits but many do and die, but ask those who live and they'd claim it works. Once, ma got called by a parent in the neighbourhood. Her daughter was burning hot, please help. On arrival, ma took child's temperature, quickly took child's clothes and blanket coverings off child and dunked (I exaggerate small), child in the woman's Coca-Cola cooler. Minutes later the child's temperature dropped and after being treated for malaria the child was well a few days later. That's why we do science, as in keep objective records of the tests we do that prove a thing works or not. This objective evidence we record is what shows whether a thing worked or not, and if it works, we do more science to find out what makes it work. triplechoice:Your subjective truth, you mean, which you are trying very hard but failing to present as some sort of objective truth? Seriously, I am surprised you'd think your claims would not be scrutinised here. You'd think your time here would have thought you it would, but I guess you might have failed to consider the feedback you been getting. The alternative, which I am very certain many others get here is, use your senses to check all spirits. It's even in a book read by many, though I don't expect you to see it in that context.
|
triplechoice:Of course there's a difference in cause and effect, but you only find out what makes a thing work after you have ascertained sufficiently that it works, and both require detail records of the method used for both which is what science is. triplechoice:Of course "not so"! You first have to have competence in the chosen field and your research has to show significant improvements on previous research for anyone to bother, and the reason they would bother is because there's money in doing so. And it's not true you can't fund your own scrutiny. Companies do it all the time, and even pay to have results fiddled, though they are usually rumbled in the end.
