• How do Universities Sell Prestigious =?UTF-8?B?QmF1Ymxlcz8=?=

    It is said that simple people are sometimes impressed by glass baubles.
    How do cheap and stupid, fallacious ideas violating basic logic attain
    prestige values and become marketed at universities for fortunes? The reification fallacy is an elementary fallacy and a foolish error that a
    child would know better than. However, we find universities convincing
    people that ideas involving this error are highly intelligent, such as expanding and bending space. Then, people uncritically and thoughtlessly embrace these ideas without a second thought. This is very pathetic,
    slavish, and avoidable.

    A lie. Of course.

    Because you say so? I checked: nobody is "rejecting Euclid".

    Indeed, and au contraire:

    Nowadays Euclidean geometry is -defined- as that kind of geometry
    in which the Pythagorean theorem holds.

    And - according to the teachings of your moronic church -
    does Pythagorean theorem hold? For real?
    Poor stinker Python has never answerred, he's always
    dodging and changing the subject. How about you?

    You might have noticed that I make it a habit
    of never replying to your silly rants.
    I'll make an exception for once,
    because you are trying to mislead the innocent kiddies
    who might stray in here.

    Of course the Pythagorean theorem holds -in Euclidean geometry-.
    A forteriori, it -defines- Euclidean geometry, nowadays.

    The Pythagoras theorem is just that. Euclidean geometry is defined by
    axioms or self-evident and unquestionable truths upon which all theorems
    are derived. Not the other way around.

    It does of course not hold in any other kind of geometry,
    by definition,

    All other geometries are mappings based on Euclidean geometry, if we are talking engineering sense.
