actualy, NPCs can think not just in binary.

Nah man you're good @Xombii just was wondering

We evaluate theses on the basis of empiricism and meritocracy all the time.

but people that can think only in binary think empiricism is selfcontradictory @halfthink . Computers are not limited to binary

@Khanclansith funny enough the CMC later told me that me getting angry is what convinced him. An innocent man doesnt get angry was his philosophy. It all worked out and he's had my back since.

Blue people bad, orange man bad, beanie man traitor, value less important than women being happy <:NPC:500042527231967262>

lol

Beanie man not man, only beanie

We do not always have an exact proof. When we come up with a new model for a physical phenomenon, we rely on data and statistics to explain whether it is a better model or not. I would say that is merit.

@Khanclansith *guilty man

Beanie man traitor to left cause!

Tim Pool is a Nazi, didn't you know?

@LokiReap I got non-combat training injuries so I don't have a cool story.

i just realized that alot of women will be drafted from my area

since there are lots of nutty health concious women in my area

women better get used to being the providers

@Khanclansith I got disqualified for military so I have even fewer cool stories. Well, at least involving the military. I've seen some crazy shit in my time though.

dude some women are not fit to be in the kitchen or raise kids

my mother is proof of that

@Khanclansith haha its cool 10 years in the submarine community gets you a lot of crazy stories. We're an odd bunch

Is the justification for empirical methods empirical? That would be circular reasoning. The only valid justification is praxeological, and so empiricism cannot prove anything that would contradict praxeology.

if she got away with it she would smother us all when we were young

@LokiReap I was a headquarters Monkey in the Army, I saw a lot of stuff that reinforced the "It's the Army, they are thorough, not logical."

of course

@halfthink "Is the justification for empirical methods empirical? That would be circular reasoning." nope it wouldnt be. Its only if you think it can only be that or not that in other word if you are thinking in binary

when is warfare logical?

@Khanclansith wait...did you ever hear of the "bat cave" command in Hawaii? Where the Crypto guys worked?

Isn't empiricism basically the scientific method?

@LokiReap But at least you sailed. I manned HQs desks.

its the collection of data no?

@Khanclansith hey every job is special in its own way

@mikeflarkin empiricism is the belief that the scientific method is the only means of obtaining truth. That reason and logic say nothing about reality.

@LokiReap General, here is the briefing binder and your coffee.

@Khanclansith Meh sitting in a steel tube smelling 100 other guys fart

@halfthink truth cant be found in any way at all

I did get yelled out for swearing by the Cheif of an Aircraft Carrier while doing training on Ford Island

@halfthink truth is a lable we attach to statements. You can assign the truth lable in any way you want

not all of them useful

The concept of meritocracy implies objective value, and that would imply all trade benefits one person at the expense of the other, and that central planning is infinitely more efficient than capitalism.

objective value would be selfcontradictory.
