What is wrong with this ranking (I do prefer QS and Shanghai)?

The main rankings as: QS, Times Higher Education, and Shanghai.

But yeah the rankings in all these differ slightly, although not so much.

you are not here to debate in good faith.
hahahhahahha

what debate?

omg.

this is like an adult arguing that santa claus is real

if an adult insists that santa claus is real, im just going to laugh my ass off

im not going to start debating him

i have to respect your position or even take you somehwat seriously to debate

this entire discussion to me is like when i watch youtube videos by flat earthers and just laugh my ass off

there is nothing to debate with flat earters

there is nothing to debate with an adult who thinks santa claus is real

and there is nothing to debate with you

lol

debate?

hahahahahha

Question this all you want. As I said, 1/5 was my avg ratio during high momentum. Do not take things out of context.
amazing.

1 in 5 in loud nightclubs with a "talking style"

awesome.

and just so im clear, are you getting this ration on planet earth or that other planet where the scientific community has no consensus on gravity?

As I have stated over and over again, I use the "talking style" aka "verbal game" in clubs where I can talk - i.e. clubs that have smoking rooms, outdoor areas, lounges or not too loud.

In loud environments I will use a different style. I have written plenty of posts about it. I even made jokes about going into clubs and sticking to the outside area (a backyard/terrace) without even going inside, unless I had to pee.

Stop decontextualizing my words, especially when these things have been stated by me over and over again.

So does Musk and the other you list. So yes, there is a consensus between thinkers that agree. Wow... shocking.
yes very shocking.

yes shocking that the people who have the most advanced ai technology in the world agree with me and you are arguing

yes very shocking

but not as shocking as your claim that the scientific community has no consensus on gravity and the laws of physics

google that controls more ai technology then any entity in the world vs a random dude on the internet known for his talking style in loud nightclubs

very hard choice

hahahahahaha

is this where you learned that there is no consensus on gravity?

or that was somewhere else?

That is where I had a very basic course in epistemology/philosophy of science that taught me science is falsifiable and that terms like consensus are dangerous in science.

That said, there is a conventional consensus surrounding gravity, yes. Just like there is a conventional consensus that the earth is round.

Kurzweil is working for Google, but is not Google. Google is constituted of many top tier scientists that, may not necessarily always agree.

Also controlling most of the AI's does not necessarily make one the most knowledgeable on AI. Researchers at MIT and Oxford may (probably) know as much, or more than say google. The argument is flawed.

i got it.

If you reread what I wrote, and I was being careful on what I wrote, I emphasized that there is no consensus in science because the word consensus is anti-scientific. Again, decontextualizing my words :)

Since you keep repeating yourself, I suggest you reread my previous comments, and I will stand by the basic rules of epistemology and the philosophy of science.

If that's your question.

yes the top ai school is in munich on your planet right?

not harvard,stanford,etc....munich is where the top minds in tech where educated

hahahahaha

amazing.

We were talking about (purely) TECHNICAL schools, and the second best is ETH which I listed.

Stanford, Harvard and Oxford, are general unis (not that this makes them any bad or anything).

TUM is one of the 20 best schools in in the field of technology. I don't understand why you obsess about TUM. I do not have any affiliation with it. It is getting a bit weird.

I did not say top guys didn't come from Harvard and Stanford?

But yes, some top guys do come from Munich.

There can be top guys spread at multiple schools. You know Germany is a great country with great research!
