Sports › Re: Paul Pogba Is Demanding £500,000 A Week In Order To Stay At Man United by Martinez39(m): 12:21pm On Apr 05, 2019
Mtewwwww. They should sell him abeg. Because he scored some goals during OGS start as a manager doesn't make him worth £500,000 per week. Is he as good as Dybala?

K.A. Stroud is good if you want straight to point and wuruwuru ways to deriving and solving problems in wide variety of Mathematical fields. If you want to have a deep understanding, you will have to get books that focus on each field instead of clumping everything today in a fast way like K.A. Stroud.

Ihedinobi3:
Obviously, the prayer was a mockery of the Lord's Prayer. The latter goes:

Our Father Who is in Heaven
Hallowed be Your Name
Your Kingdom come
Your will be done on earth as it is done in Heaven
Give us today our daily bread
Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us
Don't lead us into temptation
Deliver us from evil.

See the similarity?
It's not a mockery. It's a different version that exalts the brain instead of an imaginary deity.
Christianity Etc › Re: Does God Even Exist? Read This And Think About It. by Martinez39(m):
Nonsense. The skeptical child was rational to not believe in a life after delivery that he had seen no evidence for. Such skeptic would only believe in life after delivery if he sees evidence for it (when he is delivered alive and can observe our physical world) Problem would occur if, upon delivery and observing our world, he continues to deny life after delivery.

This is similar to atheists. We lack belief in your creator and religious claims because there are no evidences to support them and they have no basis in reality. We will only believe in your god and religious claims if there are evidences to support them and when we see that they have a sound basis in reality. Until then, all you are saying is Super Story. Problem would occur when we see evidences for your god and religious claims(eg. afterlife) and we continue to deny them.

To make it worse, the analogy you gave is inappropriate. The concept of life after delivery to the baby is way more plausible that the idea of your god and religious claims(eg. afterlife). Why? Because a close and sound analysis of the bible, quran and other holy books show, without a doubt, that they are ridiculous garbages and falsehoods. They can't be true.

How shameless and stupid of you to try to suggest that because people believe in certain things without evidence then it's okay to believe anything, however ridiculous, without evidence. A god that can't prove himself is not entitled to anyone believing in him. People have no reason to believe in an afterlife or a god because there are no evidences for then. You have to stop reasoning like this, you are not getting any younger. Is this how you want to waste your life building it around falsehoods? Wake up jare. undecided
Education › Re: Algebraic Equation by Martinez39(m): 8:02am On Apr 05, 2019
An easy way.
Given that a + b = 98, b + c = 90, c + d = 50 & d + e = 33

Using the associative property of real numbers
a + (b + c) + (d + e) = 169 = a + (90) + (33) = a + 123
(a + b) + (c + d) + e = 169 = (98) + (50) + e = 148 + e
(a + b) + c + (d + e) = 169 = (98) + c + (33) = c + 131

∴ a = 46 , e = 21 & c = 38

a + b = 46 + b = 98 ∴ b = 52
c + d = 38 + d = 50 ∴ d = 12

∴ a = 46 , b = 52 , c = 38 , d = 12 & e = 21

So the MTV Europe Award, the MTV Africa awards, the Sony/ATV contract, the Roc Nation deal, the sold-out O2 Arena London show, the Global Citizens show, the Pepsi, Glo and Forte Oil brand ambassadorships, the many other endorsements, the sold-out pop-up tour clothing shop, the royalty payments from Ciara’s “Freak Me” record, and so on and so forth, must be all made up and a figment of an over-active imagination.

BTW, there are no guarantees in life - and certainly no guarantees of success, but aspiration and hope is the virtual oxygen for much of human life and activity. Let youngsters aspire to be as successful as they believe (and you apparently disbelieve) that Tiwa is, for no one knows what circumstances will prevail in the future. There were many Nigerian musicians better than Wizkid and Davido but who never achieved anywhere near the increasingly global success these two are currently achieving, because they operated under different circumstances. The aspiration to be a successful professional is a good thing, and frankly one would hope that these aspirations would not be squashed by Naysayers even before they got off the ground. Developing the habits of success (such as hard work, creativity and innovation, self-confidence, etc.) are always good traits to cultivate even if the initial goals/aspirations are not achieved. As the cliched saying goes, “If you aim for the sky...”!

Enjoy it enough to be a scientist? Engineer myself. A make things happener. Structures built on subjective foundations don't bother Babel, they just come tumbling down. And yes, a very worthy pursuit. Research into it alone is mind blowing. Living it subjectively is fascinating. Very enjoyable too. And it gets easy over time.
Biggest lie of the century. You can't live out the principles of engineering subjectively. The principles are objective. Your language might be different but the observation and principles are objective and the same.

Edit: Here you admit recognising and making decisions based on objective reality but I later writings, you turn your back on this arguing for "pure subjective reality" for whatever reason known to you.


Not quite. IAmSabrina please do not be lazy! First, we take our photometers to the photometer calibrator who calibrates them then we ensure we are on the same measuring scale on our photometers and are both measuring from the precise same points to the same end points. Still, forgive I see a rhombus!
You are really stubborn. Why do you like complicating things? grin Who or what is the photometer calibrator? What is the photometer? I guess the eyes. The principle of reflection, refraction and electromagnetic waves are the same throughout the universe and are OBJECTIVE. Given this and the fact that everyone's eyes are built with the same basic framework, everyone with unimpaired eyes will see the same thing.

What I see as round would be seen as round by you. Even though we may have different languages but the observation and concept are the same. If you use the English language, then what I call round is what you will call round. If you use the English language and you claim you see a rhombus then you are saying that you see a quadrilateral whose sides have the same length. What you see as a rhombus is what I see as a rhombus whether I like it or not.

Your observation or oblivion has no bearing on the existence of objective reality. You observe objective reality with your senses.

How are the eyes in my head not subjective to subject me who's head they are in? Are my eyes in some other subject's head too, Sab?
Oga, your unimpaired eyes and brain will observe the same thing as everybody even though they belong to you.

We hear things the same? How so? Does your brain power not determine what you hear to begin with? If you don't have brain power can you understand maths?
Everything one hears the same thing because the nervous system and auditory organ of every human are built on the same basic structure. Given this and the fact that the physical law of sound transmission is the same then everyone will hear the same thing. The only exceptions are auditory hallucinations and hearing impairment.

You're going to have to clean this for me, I think I misunderstand. There's a lot of people who have not learnt maths out there, by any objective measure.
One beauty about objective reality is that your observation and oblivion of it has no bearing on it's existence. Your acknowledgement or denial of objective reality has no bearing on it's existence.

The fact that people haven't learnt maths by any objective standard doesn't mean that the principles of Mathematics are false and subjective. Go anywhere in the universe, the Pythagorean Theorem is valid whether you like it or not; or whether you've studied Mathematics objectively or not.

The language of description maybe different among people but the observation and concept are the same. The principles of Mathematics are valid for every observer. You trying to make it out that if people haven't learnt about certain parts of objective reality then it's not objective to them. There is nothing like "my facts," you only have "your opinion." Facts are facts and don't belong to anybody and are valid even without our acknowledgement.


Helpless? Stop overdramatising Sab, it can't be that bad, or can't it. It's not as if we understand objectivity now to be honest, though we don't build much on here either, just constant tearing down. I put my beans in a pressure cooker with lots of onions, dried fish, panla, ede, salt, cowtail, water, cook half an hour pour in pepper, tomato, oil, simmer half another hour. You must know some people like theirs agoyin! Beans is not beans, Sab, who chop am matter!
This is pure nonsense and deliberate misunderstanding of IAmSabrina's point. She didn't say the preparation would be the same for everyone. This is what I would expect from TATIME. Beans is beans regardless of who eats it. How it is prepared depends on the person's references but it is still beans. SMH, I am very very disappointed. You are simply, in a nonsensical way, waging a war against objective reality. There is a difference between observing objective reality and understanding what you are observing. The fact that you don't understand objective reality doesn't mean it different for you.

Using your toto to get wealth is not a crime under the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It is your fundamental human right. It is nothing to be ashamed of. If people are criticising you for using your toto to acquire wealth, give them two options :
1) let them foot your bills and expenses, or
2) stfu and get lost.

The only problem is when you are deceiving others that you are hustling "legitimately" to acquire your wealth. When you do that, you create a false expectation for those that want to take up your profession only for them to be disillusioned and hit hard with reality. Though you have the right to live a fake life but it would be better if you don't mislead those that aspire to be like you.

I never said whatever is in your head isn't in your head. I never did, where did you get that from? You are fond of playing around with the English language and complicating arguments. I simply asked how you are sure that I made up the elephant. Also, can you prove that the elephant doesn't exist?

At this stage, we have to define reality: is it the egocentric fables and tales we cook up for ourselves OR the one we're slaves to?

@bold implies subjective reality => everyone has a different view of what reality is because we all have different points of view...
....one thing to note, however, is that objective reality can be verified through independent measurement. Subjective reality cannot.

Two people will perceive "blue" differently, but a photometer will ALWAYS recognize the light's actual wavelength correctly, no matter who measures it or when.

Actually, atheists have a disbelieve in deities because something that is lacking in them - Sabrina and I cleared that up, though she didn't expect me to whack her with this I bet. Get on page!
Nah! Atheist have a disbelieve in god because the existence of god has no evidences or sound basis in reality. You don't believe in unicorns for the same reason. However, if evidence for unicorns emerges (eg. seeing one), you will acknowledge the existence of unicorns. Same with god and deities for atheists.

You cannot know, 39. Sorry, but its the truth. You cannot know because you lie about wanting to know.

I mean, listen to yourself: You do not believe the nonsense you just make up in your head, 39
How do you know I made it up in my head? What if the elephant exists at the said location? Can you disprove that? grin








As long as there is no evidence or any sound logical basis for god and religion, you lack belief in those things. grin. When atheists say "god doesn't exist," they say it in much the way they would say "werewolves, leprechauns and unicorns don't exist." You, budaatum, lack belief in the existence of unicorns.
