OLB already called you on this but it's so impressively bad that it needs more scorn. My condolences to all the greenbacks that have suffered and died.
"Chinese Flu" is imbecilic as it is neither Chinese nor influenza.
Quote:Falsification is not simply for science. A statement that cannot be falsified cannot be demonstrated. At that point the argument devolves to:citation please.
as i pointed out the word was coined by karl popper to support his philosophy of science which all scientific discovery and study are conducted under. HE IS THE ONE WHO SAYS FALSIFICATION TO PROVE SUBJECTS NOT SCIENCE/Covered under the philosophy of science.
In effect Karl is doing the opposite you are trying to do.
Quote:A: I believe in Fairies.Karl's version:
B: I don't.
A: You can't prove that they don't exist!
B: So you can't prove that they do and until then I see no reason to believe your foolishness.
A: I believe in fairies.
b: belief is not a scientific measure.
A:You can not prove they do not exist.
B: not with science but there maybe proof of them is another discipline history for example may have recorded fairies or something referred to as fairies but there is no physical evidence for science to study/science is not equipt to make a definitive ruling.
Quote:If your best defense is that your beliefs can't be falsified then my only reply need be, "Well isn't that cute."i think once someone explains this too you and you finally get the implications, you will get to see what i see in how cute you all are to me when you unknowingly ask for falsification, and have no understanding how you just ended your own arguments.

The correct response to that is not discussing a scientific theory is , so what.
But the thing is drippy we're discuusing an assertion which puroprts to describe reality. That makes it subject to falsification and vigorous testing. Just because you don't want to deal with the twin facts that your worldview has a) no evidence for it and b) a lot of evidence suggesting it's supefluous, doesn't absolve it from needing evidence to be accepted.
woo loo loo see the post above.

Indeed by saying it cant be falsified he has basically admitted its not true.
if it can't be falsified science is not the tool needed for the discussion. That is Karl poppers philosophy of science sport, The implication is science doesn't have the tools to speak on the subject if it can not be falsified. get it now?

THEN they said is was American military engineered flu... which has a far deeper implication and a more likely fanatical chance of a retaliatory strike from a biological perspective if chinese nations began to believe that narrative.
Plus it is most certainly not a beer brewers fault. I hear their business has been devastated by stupid people who stopped calling it the chinese flu because of the devastation it was causing to chinese people is now being focused on the corona beer company because those type of people who can not be trusted to say chinese flu without killing chinese people must also be the one boycotting the beer..
said no one of consequence.
Everything you just posted was wrong. And you don't care.
