I don't understand the problem here, why can't one criticize the power grid when it is clearly failing? This looks like you just dislike Elon Musk and are reaching for anything to criticize him over.

I mean I dislike him, but this is a non story and is clearly fake outrage.

We all know Lindsey is a raging homosexual, I wonder if he secretly has a crush on Trump, but the other faggots in the uniparty wont let him proclaim his love.

Yeah no, Sorry fren. To understand why this is not happening look to the Federal reserve and the entire banking system.

The Fed is a half private/public institution. It is the source of power for all the banking clans and why they have a chokehold on America.

The fractional reserve banking system allows them to create credit ex nihilo and all banks and government borrow this imaginary money from the Fed when they need some more juice, but have to repay it with interest, thus the chokehold.

Because of the way the economy is established and the massive amount of debt the country is in, it is no longer possible to end the fed. This would destroy the American dollar and destroy the lives of regular working class people.

The only reasonable way out of the chokehold is for the government to end the private ownership of the fed and take full control. They then can use the fractional reserve banking system to to create this imaginary money to pay off the national debt, but over the course of 10-20 years so as to keep inflation to a mininum.

If you want to take power back and truly return it to the people, you're going to need a new economic system.

There is a way, but American conservatives seem to be thoroughly indoctrinated into the Austrian school of economics, which makes true reform extremely difficult.

That style of economics is what the bankers use to their advantage, and unless Americans come up with a new school of economics to revise capitalism and fix the brokeness, America will always be on the path to serfdom.

Nothing, just talking about the economy and the collapse of a currency.

I understand the sentiment and when Trump runs again, he needs to make a promise that he will not hire any more useless backstabbing swamp creatures to advise him or place them in DOJ or FBI. I don't wanna see this shit happen all over again.

I personally don't know what to make of Putin. From every story I read about him, he seems to be a mafia boss. He uses mafia tactics to maintain control, however it's also clear to me that he doesn't want Russia to go back to communism.

I don't think Putin shares the goals of the globalists, but I am unsure what vision he has for Russia's future.

"Beliefs that some thing are or are not the case are basic elements of human reason.

I agree, however my entire argument is about a logical framework from which you could use to arrive at a reasonable conclusion.

"Also, You appear to be conflating "proof" as a logical inference and "proof" as in empirical inferences. These are distinct. In both cases you're incorrect."

I think you are mistaken, I have in no way attempted to prove or infer anything empirically. Can you point to an example of where I have, because I don't see one. Also your point about conflating proof and inference is strange, you have to prove something to infer a conclusion. It would seem you are arguing against yourself here when I have maintained that you can't prove a negative and I have not attempted to do so, while you have affirmed that a negative statement can be proven without interacting with the positive.

"Yes we demonstrate that some things are not the case as an empirical matter [eg. The world is flat] and yes we prove in a logical sense as in modus ponens."

The modus ponens only applies once you have proven a positive statement as true, therefore you can infer that the negative statement is false. It doesn't work the other way around. For instance the positive statement of the world is a globe has been proven to be true empirically, therefore any other statement that would contradict this is false.

"Incidentally, in some jurisdictions, in some situations the burden of proof is reversed. I know this because I have had to prove that I was innocent in a court of law. I was successful."

Right, I can probably show you that logical framework I put forward still applied in your case. For example say you are accused of murder, and the presumption is guilty until proven innocent. The positive statement against you is that you are the murderer and the evidence provided to support that is your shirt was found at the crime scene, you dispute the statement by providing an alibi that you were at your friends house with 5 other people who will testify to that fact and their is also a timestamped video recording of you at the same time the victim was murdered.

It may seem like you are proving a negative, but you are in actuality disproving the positive statement. That's my whole point, that's what I have attempted to demonstrate to you.

If you are serious about your argument, I will demonstrate to you the fallacies in your argumentation.

"Why unicorns?"

Irrelevant.

"Do you believe in them?"

Irrelevant.

"Hm, that's strange."

Irrelevant.

"You use them as an example of a creature that doesn't exist."

I made an assertion, you are assuming it is true.

"Why would you think that?"

Irrelevant. Address the statement itself.

"Perhaps because they don't exist, and there are reasons to believe they are mythological as opposed to a viable hypothesis?"

You are in agreement with the assertion, despite the lack of evidence. Reasons to believe something is not the same as proof of whether something is true or not.

"Keep in mind that 'proof' as a logical proposition does admit of negative assertions. [There is no algorithm which can determine the distance between primary numbers]."

This statement is nonsensical because proof in and of itself is not a logical proposition. An assertion, whether it is positive or negative, is a logical proposition.

"Sure you can generate some hypothesis with no evidence"

Agree, never made an argument to say otherwise.

"which, other than being contrary to our knowledge of biology and whose mythological roots are understood to some extent."

This statement still does not prove anything. It doesn't confirm the original statement as true and does not demonstrate the positive statement as false. Logically only the positive statement of "unicorns exist" can be proven to be true, because the absence of evidence is not proof of anything.

"In a legal sense, 'guilty until proven innocent' is not a perfect guide to epistemology. It is, rather, a rule of thumb which, theoretically, puts a brake on the impulse to decide that a person is guilty by virtue of accusation. It is more of a social and psychological precept than a scientific one."

I assume you meant innocent until proven guilty and that notion came about because it is based on the rationale I am attempting to convey to you now. That principle relies on proving a positive assertion to be true. Such a positive assertion such as Mike Pence is a pedophile can only ever be proven to be true. The opposite negative statement of Mike Pence is not a pedophile, which would be the counter argument, cannot be proven true, as the statement itself presupposes an absence of evidence. This court case would simply be the refutation of the evidence proving the positive assertion.

"Again, I apologize to you too for being snarky. I got up on the wrong side of the bed today. In any case, I didn't smash through the brick wall beside my bed, but I would imagine you already know that negative somehow."

I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt that you are being serious. So I addressed you seriously.

You really want to engage in sophistry to save face for a clearly stupid thing to say?

Go right ahead.

They have to demonstrate it with factual things that have happend to them, speculation is not enough. Also it is much harder for public figures to win libel cases.

If I said to you that unicorns don't exist, how do I prove that as a factual statement?

Your statement is an idiotic trope.

Yeah, you're right. This is why I argued above however that they cant sue him unless they can demonstrate some sort of financial harm or loss of opportunity that Lin is directly responsible for.

They haven't suffered any damages because of Lin so they don't have a case to sue for. Yet them not suing is evidence of guilt in Lin's mind and in that of his followers?

It doesn't matter if the FBI and DOJ don't do their jobs. If you have evidence, you turn it over and publicly demand a criminal investigation, like Rudy did.

They can't sue Lin because he hasn't harmed them with his accusations, and Lin knows this. Yet he keeps pushing this idea of them not suing is evidence of guilt.
