Yeah, some of my attempts are better than others. I move between not wanting anything that is too photo-realistic, based on advice from various other ...
:smile: It's not my intention to place you in any uncomfortable position. I am just disputing your suggestion that is the position held by the majorit...
Many theists present their faith that god exists, as fact that god exists. The burden of proof therefore lies with them. If their response to a questi...
Are you declaring a personal vow of silence Vera? If not then why do you continue to do or say anything if you really believe what you just typed abov...
I can't see much similarity between the visage of Carl and Steve Coogan but I appreciate you throwing me that bone. I think my ability to get proporti...
Identifying mistakes and errors in methodology does not change the logical position that those who make claims must accept the burden of proof. To sug...
You reminded me of a great comment one of my so-called 'friends' made about the Mohamed Ali attempt in my 'dream team,' Star Trek painting posted abov...
:lol: No, that's Carl Sagan doing a bad impression of Alan Partridge. I do agree however that I am still 'developing' my 'proportionality' and 'likene...
Do you think the internet is as responsible for horrors, that are easily as equal at directly causing such as 'holy war,' divinely sanctioned slavery,...
I like that allegorical paintings cause folks to ask a lot of questions. The painting titled 'no pressure,' where religious icons and science icons ba...
I like to paint allegorical stuff like: https://static.wixstatic.com/media/e40693_8b11728338444ac79dd22ca9a9cfe185~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1214,h_845,al_c,q...
A couple of mine you might consider: https://static.wixstatic.com/media/e40693_6cbcf0af58d64213aa2791a9d2ffc8f6~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_819,h_594,al_c,q_85,...
For me, applied physics or applying the scientific method, produces results that can be demonstrated again and again and again. Surely at some point t...
It would be an interesting TPF poll question imo, but perhaps most members would just find the question rather too broad, to offer a well-informed ans...
The question then becomes, which is more pernicious and more of an existential threat to humanity, the bible/quran or any other religious book (I will...
Has a global poll ever been done yet as to whether or not the human race considers the internet a net positive or negative? I don't think it would qua...
Thanks prof! If you ever want me to do a painting of you, in any scene/composition you like, just PM me about it. I would not charge you a penny. It w...
I agree that Bob was a talented artist as is his son, who he taught very well. Some even say his son is better than Bob was at those landscape scenes ...
As long as the place does not remind anyone of the Berghof :scream: and I can get there without adding to the problems of climate change :scream: Do y...
Here are 4 of mine that have a style, based on movie characters, pets and holidays abroad, that will sell very well but I am not sure I like that. htt...
I think you could sell many more of these type of paintings, if you do not already sell many paintings. Do you have any concern, about becoming a 'Bob...
Absafragginlootly Alkis! and this is part of the reasons why, in my opinion, @"rossii", antinatalists, nihilists, continuous pessimists, killjoys, etc...
What do you think of proposals such as Roger Penrose's CCC, with his supporting evidence of 'Hawking points?' My quals in physics only go as far as ye...
No, for me memorialisation is a part of legacy which is of very limited significance. I am more referring to cause and effect. The status quo of human...
I find such quite accurate parodies, of real human beings, produced via direct societal and cultural experience, foisted upon each of us, based on the...
What value do you place on the notion of personal legacy Alkis? Do you think your life was well spent if it was spent, mostly helping others maintain,...
I am more interested in a question such as, 'what makes a successful species?' But for the sake of offering a position, for me, a successful 'state'/n...
You will also avoid future joy and the positive difference you could potentially make in the lives of others. Has your life always been solely about y...
Obviously, to attempt to impress on you, why god posits are nonsense. Again, my purpose was to attempt to convince you that god posits are nonsense. I...
No-one is afraid of being dead, as when you are dead, you no longer exist, and cannot experience fear. People fear dying and the anticipation of such,...
That song was just an unpleasant, annoying noise to me. I could not even focus on the lyrics as the music and voice, was so bad, imo. I think as far a...
I see no point in any of the rest of your OP, if your first sentence is accepted as fact/true. We, the universe and everything in it, becomes 'the wil...
Well for me, they just clearly show how ridiculous and stupid, soooooo much of what we think are essential cultural differences between us, are. Such ...
In conversations with folks over my years and in listening to angry politicians and just angry people, in various news programs and documentary progra...
Here is a group I am a member of, which is well organised, and is doing a better form of politics than most, imo. It's only under 3 mins long and I su...
Such apathy is useless imo. I am not suggesting you are personally apathetic, as you have only typed about the way that many people do initially react...
Yeah sure Javi, Japan had no corrupt leaders and nothing like Kagemusha, the thief, no rapists, no villains of any kind, until the westerners arrived....
Nonsense! Do you see a lot of examples of bushido in use in the everyday lives of modern Japan? Care to cite examples? It's like you are some lost cha...
I understand your confusions. The first thing to cognise, to try to start your repair, is to understand that democratic socialism assigns a higher pri...
