Lifting the Sky is indeed a job of free will, and strength. Even monsters cannot be forced onto the Sky because they don't want to. If it only requires free will to lift the Sky, then some random weak child could just go over and say "Hey, I want to lift the Sky" and lift it.Rocker1189 said:
That Wikipedia article Kaltias linked to is talking about a mathematical outlier, I repeat. IIRC Antvasima and an admin both said there is no definition for an outlier.GilgaArcuied said:
I am not twisting it I am reading it as it says. Poseidon is literally telling us about the courage, strength and free will to lift the sky. He literally implies that some weak monster could do it if they ever had the will to, but they dont. And yes I do believe that if a human child had the will (obviously not just "I want to be able to lift the sky" it is clearly more than that) then they can. Dont strawman me.Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan said:
It's mathematical because it mathematically takes into account how much of something occurs for it to be inconsistent and a outlier. it is literally the most accurate and unbiased way of determining outliers.oh boy.Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan said:
He states even upon pain of death they would not attempt to lift it, he never states even if they are strong enough. And he says:Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan said:
Nice job excusing yourself. Bye. I don't care.GilgaArcuied said:
This was based off your faulty logic of accepting 6-C Annabeth. This means 6-C monsters and Paul Blofis and Sally Jackson were capable of hurting said monsters with CB weapons. Paul isn't destroyed in sword fights so logically that would mean 6-C Paul. Is this not enough to show how dumb both the 6-C feat is and how non Big 3 demigods aren't that impressive physically? Even the Minotaur, who got punked by 12 year old Percy was killing demigods with ease, collecting camp beads from each one until he got punked again by Percy.Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan said:
True heart and courage are two slightly different concepts as well. He also mentioned strength is needed. And if he never mentioned whether strength is needed or not, then why assume it isn't?Rocker1189 said:
"You are saying a weak child can do it".Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan said:
You should have specified earlier. Anyway, the same can be said to any other feat. We can use Paul Blofis to debunk the 7-C feat, 8-C feat, or whatever as well. You seem to only target 6-C because you hate it. (Appeal of Motive fallacy, but Regis has already thrown like 10 of them at me)RegisNex1232 said:
Did I say that regular demigods should scale to the Big Three? Don't strawman me.RegisNex1232 said:
| But if we look at a well-known major volcanic eruption, the eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980, we find that: "In all, Mount St. Helens released 24 megatons of thermal energy, 7 of which was a direct result of the blast. This is equivalent to 1,600 times the size of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima". |
| But Mount St. Helens wasn't even at the top of the scale of Volcanic Explosivity Index. It was a class 5, and the scale goes up all the way to 8, which are called "mega-colossal" eruptions. These class 8 super-volcanos erupt extremely rarely (otherwise we wouldn't be here), but when they do, more than 1,000 cubic kilometers of rock and ash are ejected, the climate of the whole planet is affected for extended periods of time, and mass-extinctions can be expected. Now that is powerful! To get anywhere close to that kind of energy release, the U.S. and Russia would have to use their entire nuclear arsenals simultaneously, and even that might not be enough to compare depending on how long the volcanic eruption lasts. |
