I see but consider physics. Work = Force \times Distance Force = mass \times acceleration I'm sure that in between these two formulae, time will emerg...
I don't know if I agree but suffice it to say we, as you claim, have some idea what work means and how it's to be measured although it seems rather ne...
Yep. Your position on the issue is not as radical as some have made it out to be. What happens when we grow up? Regulations/rules ease from being 5 ye...
While I can understand the injustice/suffering aspect of the workweek, I'd lke to point out that good coordination among people, organizations, govern...
So Nietzsche scorns religion's offer of a better afterlife. Basically one-bird-in-the-hand-is-worth-two-in-the-bush logic. I like that. To Nietzsche r...
I thought you did. it seems implied. I get where you're coming from. Is regulation just an euphemism for imposition? :chin: Dysphemism is appposite to...
Don't limit your options. It's better to be enraged and get an additional adrenaline boost for your muscles (fight/flight response) than feel nothing ...
Yep, metaphysics - goes beyond the empirical/verifiable/falsifiable, the domain of science. A map's accuracy vis-à-vis the territory is assessable (sc...
:ok: Asoka (King, Mauryan Empire): I'm going to abdicate my throne, give away all my wealth, shave my head, wear a simple robe, and beg for alms. Asok...
:up: I agree with you on all points. It's just that I was thrown off by the fact that both tyrannies (oppression) and democracies (liberty) operate us...
Right! Profound words there. I was misled by fate which I read as passively, stoically, resignedly accepting whatever it is that comes your way withou...
Neil deGrasse Tyson's (astrophysicist, science educator, author) advice on expressing one's opinions Remember: 1. What one wants to say 2. What one th...
Depending (a lot I suppose) on luck, other variables of which there are many, dying may appear as living. I remember reading about this woman/child (t...
Something like that. Assuming, correctly to my reckoning, that no one alive is enlightened, we could take an apophatic approach to nirvana. I believe ...
Sorry for buttin' in but how far are you willing to go with that maxim? I guess I'm getting mixed up between regulation and coercion. It happens, righ...
Here's an interesting thought. We (usually) don't mind, even like, being treated better than some others but we hurt, badly, when it's the other way r...
The reason God is a useful fiction is that only in his eyes are all equal. This doesn't seem to be supported by facts on the ground but hey, let's hop...
Oh! Now we're getting somewhere. When death exists? :chin: We'll all find out in good time I guess. I'm in no hurry although I do have premonitions of...
We're all supposedly enlightened beings (buddha nature or something like that) but the problem is we fail to realize that (simple) fact. So, the quest...
By the way, is there another form of inequality we're blind to. I dunno! Just askin'. I remember someone who was so happy to have been chosen for a so...
Humanity and Equality. It all began, I suppose, with slavery and sexism. The point, potential (Aristotle) was being suppressed and stamped out. If a w...
Does everybody have an equal probability for an earlier stop and even if they did, does everyone have equal access to solutions/opportunities to cheat...
Look at the trend: The first machines were there to assist us e.g. the lever amplified force. Then machines replaced us, physically, e.g. industrial r...
Moratlity Rates. Keep clicking the links and a picture of death, not so flattering as poets imagined, should emerge from the data. The weak, the poor,...
