    What is the role of logic in philosophy, mathematics, and other disciplines?

    Please, give an example of that happening. This question does not give any clue what is your problem with understanding what I've said.

    Everything doubled in size compared to what? Does your question have meaning?

    What is the role of logic in philosophy, mathematics, and other disciplines?

    Logic is abstraction of the world surrounding us. Or more precisely, it is abstraction of our perception of the world. Just like math. It is not fundamental at all. Only your perception makes you feel it is fundamental. It is quite possible that some life can exist who can perceive directly the...

    These Homemade Solar Panels .Do they even work?

    That's looking like a scam. It even didn't allow me to leave the website by closing the tab. It started popping silly questions instead.

    Can grandpa understand the Bell's Theorem?

    It seems your problem is to understand the weirdness of quantum events. I'll try to explain it with an example from a very old book I've read when I was a child. I'm 41 now. Suppose you have red and green balls and a machine that let's only the red balls to go through. You have a source that...

    Why do some people think women suck at science and math?

    I claim "I think...". What else do you need more than my claim? I do not expect very strong selection pressures. My reason is that the brain is highly adaptive and can adapt to changes during the lifetime of a person. A woman still can learn to hunt.

    Why do some people think women suck at science and math?

    Evolution of Hypnosis: What's the Natural Explanation?

    And your suggestion how we learn more about hypnosis is to "move it to the "Skepticism and Debunking" section". Nice.

    Evolution of Hypnosis: What's the Natural Explanation?

    There are so many "maybe"s about hypnosis. Unfortunately the supporting evidence is quite low. I guess there are not so many fans of making a lot of experiments with hypnosis, as it can be potentially dangerous. The hypnosis can be induced using some drugs, so called narco hypnosis. However I...
