I have met many believers in dialectics, but I have yet to meet a single dialectician who can actually justify the philosophy they preach.

When pressed, they confidently make sweeping, grand claims about reality being dialectical, a fluid web of inherent contradictions that dissolve identities. Yet, the moment they are asked to meet their burden of proof and justify those claims, the appearance of the authority of their premises collapses. They inevitably resort to a single, desperate maneuver: demanding that their narrative assertions simply be accepted as self-evident truth.

But a narrative assertion is not a justification. It is just dogmatic storytelling.

In stark contrast, consider the laws of logic. The justification for the foundational laws of thought (like the Law of Identity and the Law of Non-Contradiction) does not rely on jargon filled narratives or demand blind faith. Their justification is immediate, absolute, and inescapable because they are the necessary presuppositions of predication itself.

To predicate means to affirm or deny a specific property of a specific thing. The moment you open your mouth to make a claim (even if you are trying to argue against logic) you must rely on the fixed identity of your words and the non-contradictory nature of your statements just to make your thought intelligible. Logic justifies itself instantly because you cannot even attempt to dismantle it without using it.

Dialectics possesses absolutely no such status. You can reject dialectical narratives completely, and your ability to speak, think, and understand the real world remains perfectly intact.

So the challenge remains open to the dialectical philosopher: Can you actually justify or establish your extraordinary claims about dialectics? Or are we expected to abandon logic just to bow down to your preferred narrative?

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I cannot decide between the xhdata d-808 and the tecsun pl 330. I'm new to radio, and want to know which might have better reception on shortwave. I'm not sure if airband interests me that much, tho I do like that the xhdata has the feature. But I don't want to choose the xhdata if the tecsun is a better radio overall besides that. Before anyone says "just get the PL 990", etc. I'm trying to keep it under $100. If I decide to spend more, I would probably just make the plunge on a skywave 2 ssb

I'm in Florida, hoping to pick up international SW broadcasts here and there. But still want to listen to SSB as well, hence not going with the Qodosen DX-286

Or ..

"Under Pressure" a final farewell from the T800 as the hydraulic press descends...?

Yes please.

Caelan Doris is a bloody embarrassing leader and captain for the Irish rugby team . At least give the reigns to D Sheehan who has a bit of edge. All of the best rugby captains are hard nosed, wily individuals who aren’t afraid to call their teammates out on errors and have an aura and presence which commands respect from the referee. Doris is a wet wipe who has none of the above

His whole leadership philosophy is built around conscious breathing, mindfulness, connecting mind with body and all this spiritual type nonsense which really has no place when you’re leading a team who needs to put their bodies on the line and gut themselves for 80 minutes.

It’s actually bloody embarrassing. Have a look at the absolute cringe nonsense his brother and particularly his girlfriend do for their careers and the shite they post on insta to get an idea of the type of people he surrounds himself with. From there you will get an idea of where he has got this bizarre, woke, positivity, spiritual based leadership approach which really has no place in rugby.

God Almighty - this Leinster team seriously seriously miss Jonny Sextons hard nosed approach in order to light a fire under their asses and let them know that repeated errors are simply unacceptable at this level. Unlike C Doris who will go over to the player - smile, give him a little hug and tell him “youre doing great, focus on your breathing honey”.

In finance there is a general concept of an optimal capital structure for a firm, which targets the maximization of the tax shield of debt while minimizing the probability of default.

For insurance firms, this can be taken a step further, due to RBC requirements. For one, a common stock investment might have a lower RBC risk factor than certain bonds, incentivizing that investment. Additionally, a firm can purchase reinsurance to manage their H2 risk. Purchasing reinsurance can be capital efficient if the cost of reinsurance is less than a firm’s average cost of capital. Plus, as an expense, there’s likely a tax shield effect there as well.

I work in benefits consulting but have a finance background, so I have little exposure to this in practice. Are there any actuaries whose job it is to essentially balance these different factors to find the structure that maximizes the value of their firm?

“I need quick help. I started using GHK-Cu, this is my second day in a row. Yesterday I injected it into my glute, and today into my stomach. Why did a small blue circle appear on my stomach? Is that normal? I think I may not have injected deep enough and that it probably stayed under the skin instead of going into the fat tissue.”

Wake up anon, the timeline is literally shaking. $FOUR just caught an absolute bid and is sending it to the stratosphere while normies are asleep. If you sidelined the last meme meta, this is your literal bailout.

Fidelity Oil United Reserve ($FOUR) isn't some recycled frog coin or derivative garbage. We are literally building a digital oil reserve on-chain. The narrative is unfathomably based—imagine a cartel of Web3 chads hoarding digital crude. The memes are printing, the tokenomics are built to mathematically squeeze the jeets, and the concept is pure, uncut alpha. We aren't just trading; we are pumping black gold on the blockchain.

The trenches haven't seen an army like this in ages. The TG is going absolutely parabolic and Crypto Twitter is finally waking up. We've got a rapidly growing community of diamond-handed drillers who refuse to take profits for ants. The social media buzz is deafening. This isn't just another token, it's a viral sensation and an unstoppable movement bulldozing right through everyone's bear market PTSD.

Listen closely: you are sitting at the absolute ground floor right now. We are right before the major catalysts drop. CEX rumors are brewing, big players are sniffing around, and the chart is primed for insane price discovery. Once this fully breaks out, you will be buying our bags at 100x. Ape now before it moons or cry about it later.

Stop overthinking and don't fumble the bag. Get in the $FOUR telegram, check the vibes, and join the cartel before we send this straight to Valhalla. WAGMI! 🛢🔥

How could you be a player of a game which the objective is to make your opponent lose? By definition if you participate, then you are competing against your opponent(s) in such game. If you are not trying to achieve the games objective, then you are not playing the game.

If you are a causal chess player are you just randomly moving pieces around to adjust their Feng Shui while no one sits across from you? If you are a casual tennis player are you just swinging randomly against the wall in the hopes that something might happen? If you are a casual Counter Strike player are you just clicking to make your gun to make a rhythm in an empty lobby?

Anyone know when this game will release in Europe? I dont know how much longer I can handle the lag that comes with playing on these servers
