The wizard of Oz and the munchkins are also fiction. Egypt, Greece, Iran, Italy, Syria, India, China, etc persist. All the cultures/civilisations you ...

So we agree with what and who we don't advocate. The difference is that you think we cannot defeat the nefarious and I think we can. I think the nefar...

Have you looked at such as this, as an indication of the range of science/philosophy interaction? https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/14660/new-...
September 20, 2023 at 12:07
We are broadly of the same mind regarding Modi and regarding what needs to be pursued to prevent the horrors described in the article you posted and t...
September 20, 2023 at 11:53
This bodes well for you, imo ucarr. It shows you as a pragmatic individual who is able to understand and sample the flow around a discussion without d...
September 20, 2023 at 11:21
No, not as we are right now, but if we (or Gene Roddenberry) can imagineer the federation and its directives and mission statements then, I think we a...
September 20, 2023 at 10:34
A very grim, hard hitting article. It describes how the differences between people, especially poor people, (as you say, who are easily manipulated in...

I will have a look at it tomorrow. Going to sign off for now. :smile:
September 19, 2023 at 20:03
That's a big assumption Vera. You don't destroy a river by drinking from it. We will need to tap into extraterrestrial resources yes, but, I don't adv...

I had heard of the violence between Sikhs and Hindus before and I knew about the attacks on the Sikh golden temple etc but I had not realised there wa...

How much waste is spent on allowing a nefarious few to have dominion over the planet? How much more could be achieved if the resources humans can acce...
September 19, 2023 at 19:32
Well done sir, in your investigation and analysis. You may well be the closest to solving the case of the mysterious Niki Wonoto. I found your finding...
September 19, 2023 at 18:57
Yes, imo, as they facilitated new combinatorials, such as rocky planets, moons, asteroids etc.
September 19, 2023 at 15:28
Massive logistical problems Vera, absafragginlootly! My imagery of spacefaring individuals in AI augmented, exoskeletal, spacesuits, was at least rest...
September 19, 2023 at 14:58
Also, if true, it may expose Modi a little more, as the tyrant I think he is. It may reign him in a little and cost him some of his support or, it cou...
September 19, 2023 at 14:43
Just for the fun of it Vera, I will have a go. Meaning is often found in what an object might represent or what its utility is: To demonstrate that th...
September 19, 2023 at 14:38
Is this not a significant part of the reasons why we both chose socialism as our political stance BC? Sounds about right to me. The question remains. ...
September 19, 2023 at 12:12
Well, I agree with you about plants but the reproductive biological imperative in many animal species is more than just instinctive in some cases. Wel...
September 19, 2023 at 12:02
I know this is off topic when considering your OP but have you saw this, in the News here, today? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-66848041
September 19, 2023 at 11:26
King Kim is a great example, look at how he and his supporting gangsters have to terrorise and supress any democratic socialist rumblings within North...
September 19, 2023 at 11:11
I like this, in that it demonstrates what it is about the way your mind works that I like. It's quirky and it's a rather novel way to think about the ...
September 19, 2023 at 10:14
Your first sentence above is badly formed. Heat is produced via dynamism or 'excitation,' that IS work. Heat can raise the temperature of cold people ...
September 19, 2023 at 09:44
So why don't they declare themselves King again? Seems to me they are afraid of something or they would reveal themselves for all to see, how can you ...
September 18, 2023 at 20:01
There is no current evidence that such is possible, there is only pure speculations about wormholes etc. What does 'instantaneous in its unity' mean? ...
September 18, 2023 at 19:33
:up: I look forward to your findings and to reading your extensions of the scientific proposals involved.
September 18, 2023 at 18:56
Yeah, I tend to watch things like the transatlantic call in show on youtube, now and again, It is ran by trans folks and I try to see what terms are a...
September 18, 2023 at 18:48
So we scared them so much, they are now in heavy disguises and working only in the shadows. Sounds like a big success for us. But , yeah still more to...
September 18, 2023 at 18:32
I try to go for 'hesh' rather than 'it' as my probably poor attempt to find an acceptable intersex pronoun. I do also use 'they' but do find it confus...
September 18, 2023 at 18:08
Yes, I have witnessed such, on occasion, in friends, work colleagues, even family. Even manifesting in idiosyncratic/obsessive compulsive disorders/be...
September 18, 2023 at 17:54
Two hundred years is no time at all considering a scale of almost 14 billion. So how come Kings and aristocracies don't still rule in every country? H...
September 18, 2023 at 16:59
Perhaps we can improve the status of the lounge threads. What is your take on the OP for this thread? I've just opened another case of wine. I'm Glasw...
September 18, 2023 at 16:29
I believe you. But what you can still do, you should do. What you should not do, imo, is suggest that the efforts of those on the front line or in sup...
September 18, 2023 at 15:35
Nah!
September 18, 2023 at 15:20
Okay, rather than respond to each of your three points, which I will still do, I first would ask, how would you combat such? I assume you don't want t...
September 18, 2023 at 14:57
Yeah, we all need to work much harder to prevent such. Do you think we can, if we all cooperate more. Yeah Vera, I know I must sound like I am stuck o...
September 18, 2023 at 14:45
:lol: No sir. The points you and some other (shall I say doomsters or would you at least accept pessimists) folks make, when projecting the future of ...
September 18, 2023 at 14:35
I have been contributing to this thread from its beginning by @"Athena" I would first, again clearly state, my lack of academic qualifications in phil...
September 18, 2023 at 14:13
Well made points that ring true.
September 18, 2023 at 13:38
Serendipity certainly is a welcome existent.
September 18, 2023 at 11:42
What part (if any) does the notion of legacy via reproduction or via human memorialisation of a life now past, or perhaps both, play, in your notion o...
September 18, 2023 at 10:58
That's partly why I tagged you in my last post, as you have valuable experience with working with folks who have a history of mental struggle and addi...
September 18, 2023 at 10:48
Are you confusing 'pair production' with quantum entanglement? If you type into google, something like: Does pair production always produce entangled ...
September 18, 2023 at 10:28
You employ terms here which are not rigorously defined or explained. You cannot do that when the discussion is at an advanced scientific level. What d...
September 18, 2023 at 10:07
I have common ground with the view of @"180 Proof" here ucarr. I have no idea what this means! You seem to have some bizarre notions of what is physic...
September 18, 2023 at 09:49
:up: That's a horrible view you have of what humans do. That comment/opinion reminded me of the character Agent Smith, from the matrix: https://youtu....
September 18, 2023 at 09:24
I think we agree regarding @"niki wonoto" and I wonder why he/she/they, have not so far, posted at least a brief rebuttal to the concern/claim I and @...
September 18, 2023 at 08:54
A fair criticism. I perhaps did make some assumptions about your notions of 'true freedom,' by projection rather than by clear statement from you. You...
September 17, 2023 at 21:15
Yeah, probably a good idea. Looking at all the thread titles, I began to wonder, is this person getting some kind of kick out of simply trying to spre...
September 17, 2023 at 20:36
No, I have never heard of that term either, let's settle on horseshit, we will both have heard of that one, even though ( As George Bernard Shaw sugge...
September 17, 2023 at 18:44
A bizarre TPF member, this Niki Wonoto. Perusing the profile page, 15 threads over the past 4 years and from the random 4 I checked, not one response,...
