    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    It is my experience that using h202 will prolong your recovery. If it were me, I would spray those buckets/roots off in the shower and remove as much as possible, and then just make up a normal bucket with some tea. (just base nutes and tea) If you have the basics covered (oxygen, temp ect)...

    DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes

    Nope, don't worry about when you add it. I'm sure there is a time when it's most optimal, but the difference would be negligible. Hygrozyme is likely to cause problems. You can try it in a test bucket if you want, but I'd stay away from it.

    Heh. I was trying very hard not to use to the term "Dunning--Kruger" because I figured it was just another concept that would be lost on him. I see that you have already had that convo with him. It does sum it up beautifully. I didn't know you were into the writings of Pinker and...

    That is, of course, my own term. "Quality controls" is a good description of many of the restrictions, rules and principles necessary for scientific investigation. Many of them are there as a way of compensating for biases and common pitfalls inherit to human thinking, but some are there...

    Your attempt to play the persecution card is as typical and transparent as your denialism. It can't be that you are spewing nonsense, it must be that I personally dislike you, or that I just have a bad disposition. Cognitive dissonance seems to have once again found the path of least...

    But you don't seem to like that conversation unless it only challenges you in a specific way. You want to stay within the frame of your diatribe. That's not how debate works. You make a claim, the onus is on you to provide evidence. When others debating do not find your arguments...

    Actually, what I said was "You are, of course, free to ignore logical consistency and principles like parsimony." What part of that do you find controlling? Parsimony is a principle nature herself dictates, it's not for me to press it upon you. I've simply stated that if you choose to ignore...

    Yes, I am familiar with the typical geocentrists' tropes. You've simply listed experiments intended to measure the movement of Earth which failed. I'm guessing you have already been over the details with others, and heard the standard rebuttals. If that's the conversation you want to have...

    Sure. In fact, many of the organisms in the tea do not even activate in the hydro solution. And a soil environment will sustain them much longer, so you don't need to add it as often.

    When trying to establish objective facts, it's not a very good sign that you have to caution those who would doubt to "listen to your heart." People's hearts lead them astray everyday. You also seem to be setting up a canard similar to creationists when they assume that if they can poke a hole...

    "Consciousness is simply the real time processing of sensory input and internal communication and monitoring. Our experience of reality is demonstrably constructed by the brain. When you alter the underlying brain function, you alter that construction. People can be made to feel as if they do...

    Glad you find the site engaging. I've missed these conversations too. Facebook is great for practicing argumentation, but it's always the same circular arguments over and over. Although it offers a great way to reach people, trying to teach critical thinking to social media is like trying to...

    Well, those books are sorta advanced critical thinking, sometimes referred to as meta-cognition. I am confident that they are not beyond your ability to understand, but I would recommend saving them for later to build on a more basic understanding of critical thinking. You may want to start...

    Dude, how boring would that be? It's like listening to someone else talk about the dream they had last night. Do you really want to hear me spew on about my personal view of reality? Maybe something more specific would be more interesting. The only broad belief I have about reality is that...

    Ha. :) Nonsense, there are many criticisms of cognitive dissonance theory. Some of them quite valid. It's not a complete explanation, however it is likely the foundation that a better explanation will be built on. In fact, anyone who reads the book I recommended should then immediately...

    Cognitive dissonance. Anyone who aims to be a great thinker needs to understand this concept. It is one of the primary drivers of self-deception. Cognitive dissonance is the name given to the feeling produced when the brain tries to hold two conflicting ideas as true at the same time. There...

    It is not incumbent upon me to disprove your claim. The burden of proof falls to you. I've given links explaining why the 10% brain myth is fundamentally wrong. If someone's brain is "firing all at once" they would be having a tonic-clonic seizure. It's a sign of abnormal brain function...

    There isn't much to debate. As I've said, there is no good reason to believe chi exists. That doesn't mean you can't believe in it, it just means you have no good reason to. Plenty of people have used meditation to achieve peace yet not believed in chi at all. While it's fine to use it as a...

    There have been well over 3000 published studies looking at acupuncture and there is no clear indication that it works as anything other than a placebo. It works no better than giving someone a sugar pill. But that doesn't mean we haven't learned anything from all those studies. We did learn...
