"You can't MAKE someone think abstractly; it's either present as a talent, or it's not." False. It is not talent at all, anyone can think abstractly, they just need to want to.

There has always been people who fix and people who replace. The fixing might change from replacing a diode, to replacing a board but it's still fixing.
Sounds like you failed. I don't think it's Subaru's fault you don't understand how to put holes in plastic. What make and model is that mythical car that needs to engine to be lifted to take out 2 spark plug wires?

There isn't any electronic device that can't be fixed.
"There is no reason a $2.00 part should bring down a $2000 television set." are you... stupid?
The owner cord cost about 2 buck, and if I remove it it will bring down the TV. Are you saying that shouldn't happen? Are you saying when the NPN blows, some how the power should be magically rerouted? Perhaps through the rear deflector?
So you are saying, the simplest answer is it's proof for god? No, that is the SIMPLETON answer.
I can list 100's of things that are provable wrong in every major religious text. You cherry pick the one thing that is accurate by mistake* and that proves god, ignoring all the incorrect stuff. People have postulate other beings from the sky since the dawn of man, no real jump there.

"Something that is omnipotent can chose to remain undetectable to science" so it has no effect? so it doesn't exist. Really, if it changes something that CHANGE is detectable even if you can't see what is causing it.
We have discovered many thing we only initially knew because of there effect on something else, like planets.
The safety of the autobahn has nothing to do with speed and everything to do what one must go through to get and maintain a license.
You want safer roads? Lets make it a several week driver training, with theory and practice. Lets make it so that if you want to drive manual, you need more training, lets charge 2000 dollars for it, lets mandate car maintenance, and get rid of older cars.

I can Circumnavigate a boat. I mean, how hard can it be to walk around a boat? ;)
yeah, society been on the brink of collapse for 100 years.
Any day now...Yawn.
The fact that your plan is to eat other humans say a lot about you. None of it good.

So you have learned to follow instructions instead of figuring things out. That's not learning.
Well done.

50. No one over 50.

As has always been the case. At no time would you eb able to screw around with a product, and then make the manufacturer pay for your mistake.
The real issue here is that there is no issue.
Wow, that was pretty weak. You don't understand modern culture, or what the were talking about in that episode.
because they can't fix software.
Your point?
1. Mathematics is the language of nature.
nope. Is a creation of man that gives a reasonable approximation to predict nature under a specif context.
2. Everything around us can be represented and understood through numbers.
only with a specific context.
"There are patterns everywhere in nature."
patterns are OBSERVED every in nature becasue are brain are design to create create them.
If you have 2 apples, and I give you 2 apples how much apple do you have?

You can not have something that is omnipotent.
"Something that is omnipotent can chose to remain undetectable to science"
so it has no effect? so it doesn't exist. Really, if it changes something that CHANGE is detectable even if you can't see what is causing it.
We have discovered many thing we only initially knew because of there effect on something else, like planets.
Also, please learn what entropy is.
No we don't.
what isn't there.
Odd's are mitigated by time.
No, you aren't. What you have is a personal incorrect narrative biased by an out of control ego.

That's why it's safer on the autobahn
" often an inverse correlation with accidents. "
False.
a rapid slowdown is often the cause of accidents "
No, tailgating causes those accidents.
Anyway, if they are well labeled, and don't move, it won't be much of a surprise, will it.
Really, there is no comparison between the two and data from one in no way be used to infer an outcome of the other.

Now its just a bunch of 'No Shit'
