But this is not true. the division between left and right is not thinking the past is good or bad. With all due respect, if you ignore the research ab...

This position is not grounded in the research. I suggest you read The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion, by Jonatha...

Very interesting. But I am not sure that I agree. Numbers, forms, laws are measurements? And you need to have something to measure?

You'd also have to consider the themes of their work, though

I'm not surprised that you don't understand
February 12, 2026 at 20:13
Excellent question. I do admit that I have been coming from the viewpoint of personal truth, but cultural truths are worth consideration. I'm just not...

Well, the question seems to be whether matter and spacetime are fundamental, or are they emergent from some other source (of information). The short a...

Why should emotion be dismissed? I prefer a person who passionately holds their views to one who pretends they are above it all.
February 11, 2026 at 21:22
i disagree. In your rush to push forward that only the objective matters, you forget the person. I do not forget the person.

let's cut the b*llshit. We both know I was alluding to your insistence that transgender persons are "sexist" because they choose to live in the gender...

Especially when you don't like what they're saying. So, you see, it's you imposing your subjective truth

Sorry, I cannot be responsible for your lack of understanding

Well, the Supreme Court went and gave him immunity. Did I read that Clarence Thomas is in the files?

It seems misguided to dismiss the idea that the functioning of the brain could generate consciousness without even the most basic understanding of how...

Actually, our brains are the biggest consumers of energy in our body.

There is nothing simple about the functioning of the human brain.
February 10, 2026 at 23:29
But it is not about the arrangement. See? You are the one who is not grasping the point.
February 10, 2026 at 23:02
I grasped it, and rejected it. To ascribe a special property to atoms in the human brain, but not in all atoms, flies in the face of rational thinking...
