@hans_w Everything is an opinon. Even things we call "facts" are just our opinion as to what is true, a fact to one is fiction to another.

@louisrcouture I'm not the one who named it, complain to Dr. Edward Potamus.

Do you know how to tell the difference between a Hippopotamus and a Hipperpotamus?

One has too little potamus and the other too much.

Shocker I know...

The quote actually originated with Rutherford and was later repeated in another form by Einstein, feynman adopted it as a technique.

Rutherford said "it should be possible to explain the laws of physics to a barmaid."

Einstein said, while referencing Rutherford in a conversation with de Broglie in france: "that all physical theories, their mathematical expressions apart ought to lend themselves to so simple a description that even a child could understand them."

So Einstein coined the phrase and idea in reference to a child.

The Feynman technique was explicitly inspired by Einstein and is a 4 step technique:

1) Pick the subject of interest
2) explain the concept as if to a 6th grader
3) Identify the holes in your understanding
4) Study the parts you couldnt explain simply

While the Feynman technique is based off observations in Feynmans study habits he never taught the technique formally nor did he define it.

lol, glad they fixed that :)

@vital876@mastodon.social Try the Pennsylvania dutch birch beer. It is the best!

@louisrcouture

Yea I have, A&W isnt bad, but nothing comes close to pennsylvania dutch birch beer.

@lavaender

@Co congrats!

@vital876@mastodon.social

You can read about it here. It was mostly rewritten to have children characters and the language was simpler.

@realcaseyrollins I agree its a poor argument, i mean your brain is just a clump of cells too. That said "its alive and its human" seems like a poor argument to me too, human cancer is alive and human but obviously thats fine to kill.

For me the argument comes down to if it can think, on any level, feel pain, suffer, feel. If it has a brain, even a far undeveloped one, and those neurons are sending signals, then the line has been crossed.

@hector That depends, anywhere from the same to higher. But they tend to spend their tax money in more useful ways so you will find cleaner cities, better transportation, etc.

@hector Actually for most countries their taxes on the upper class are similar to the USA, its only their taxes on the lower class thqat is significantly higher.
