Is cheating on the final exam in ethics class sort of like a demonstration rather than a violation? :thinking:

Actually, I have bee working on some sim corollaries to Descartes…

“I think that I can safely pilot a Viggen, therefore I cannot.”

Still needs some work. We probably need to try it with @Troll’s authentic flight stick.

Also working on “If Hangar200 crashes a Viggen in the forest, does it make a sound?” In SP the answer seems to be “No”…need some MP sorties to run this one to ground. :upside_down_face:

Nietzsche: The viggen is dead! and you have crashed it! And now you are free to become a new man, a superman, a tomcat driver!

Socrates: The fact that you don’t know how to fly a viggen safely makes you the greatest viggen driver of all.

Plato: But what if the viggen you think you are driving is not really a viggen but an F-111?

Marcus Aurelius: So you crashed the viggen. It is only dust. There will be new viggens for you to crash.

Ockham: The best explanation of the viggen crash is always the one that needs the fewest entities. Therefore it was not a surface to air missile that made the viggen crash, but the simple fact that @Hangar200 was driving it.

I think you need to do more drugs to be one of those.

On an unrelated note, did I ever tell you about my favorite division officer, who was a philosophy major from UNC?

I’ll PM you the full story, so as not to upset @Hangar200’s delicate senior officer sensibilities. :wink:

Oh come on!

This is her. After she resigned her commission, she went to grad school in Costa Rica, then went to for the water utility in USVI. Now owns a BnB there as well.
