In this land of humans, there is nothing that exists except the subjective.

A member of Congress has confirmed that Trump's name is in the Epstein files over a million times. Raskin had access to the unredacted files.

Are you for real? Review your grade 9 notes about the types of chemical equations. Now multiply that by a thousand and you'll have maybe a smidgeon of...

I would not use the word "special" - just different. Maybe it's the same thing. The examples you mentioned are about combining. The human brain does n...

Here lies your error. It is not "mere" - for it produces every thought you have. F*cking amazing

I think I have already answered this. Its highly complex electrochemistry
February 10, 2026 at 18:51
irrelevant. there is nothing like a human mind.
February 10, 2026 at 18:44
Science is working on it! But to come up with the answer that, "atoms must be conscious" is an absurd conclusion to make. Is it only atoms in the huma...

I consider it the pro-truth mind.
February 10, 2026 at 17:26
Thanks for the encouragement! I will follow up!!
February 10, 2026 at 17:25
You really need to shrug off this sense of victimization. I am sure when people speak their truth, they are not thinking about you.
February 10, 2026 at 17:24
Maybe he is? Anyway, about that bridge ... still waiting on your response to that.
February 10, 2026 at 17:16
No, atoms, molecules, neurons, brain - that is structure. But when engaged in its highly complex function - that produces consciousness. A brain has t...

You're completely ignoring Trump's actions. You're completely ignoring the cover-up. You're completely ignoring a vast body of information that shows ...
February 10, 2026 at 17:08
I don't think it is so much "explaining" as finding the structural source for it. Since we all have it, we know what consciousness is. The role of sci...

By all accounts, they were not "hanging out." They barely knew one another. In the Epstein files, there is no direct communication between Epstein and...

Lol, the right is pretty desperate. I am confident that Carney has nothing to explain.
February 10, 2026 at 16:42
Really? You lot? It's not my story. It is the story of a 1000 abused, raped and exploited girls. Even though Trump thinks it is just about him. What? ...
February 10, 2026 at 16:30
It's Carney. I'm not sure what you're talking about, or why you are mentioning Carney, (who became the Canadian PM in 2025), in this context. What's h...
February 10, 2026 at 16:17
Lol, using what Trump says to exonerate him. Don't you know everything he says is a lie?

The Gordie Howe International Bridge – a new international artery between Michigan and Ontario - is nearly ready to open. Construction began in 2018, ...

I notice you both take issue with my other example, but offer nothing against my main point. The two main scientific theories that are used to help ex...

With respect to consciousness, to say “you can’t get out what you don’t put in” neglects the highly complex electrochemical functioning of the human b...

Objective truths are those that are explained by math and physics. Sometimes I even wonder about that. And really, how much does all that impact on yo...

Maybe i am speaking as a writer. i write stories. And the only good stories are the ones that captures some of the writer's truth.
February 09, 2026 at 00:30
Uh no, just let them live, or just ignore them. Certainly do not make arbitrary rules that they are no longer allowed to serve in the US military. I h...

Subjective truth can for sure be wrong. Just look at racists. That they are superior is whole-heartedly true to them, but would be false to me. But it...
February 09, 2026 at 00:01
It’s people who do not accept the personal truth of others who are the power-trippers. What I have observed is that those who object to anyone living ...

You're out of the loop. No-one - and I mean no-one - has put more targets on the backs of people than Donald Trump. And his best friend was a pedophil...

Any support for Trump now is an explicit declaration that you are a racist
February 06, 2026 at 18:04
On the same day, Trump posted a video that outlined how the post-civil-war Republicans advanced the rights of African Americans and the Democrats were...

Thank you for the insightful (though dark) take on things.
February 06, 2026 at 13:25
I understand where you're coming from, but I'm not quite prepared to relieve the autocrat (and his enablers) of accountability. The damage happening i...

You called their move on targeting the pornography as censorship Why? Because it might tell you something you don't want to hear?
February 04, 2026 at 16:45
What part of it do you believe to be not true? And why would you defend spreading pornographic images of minors? Anyway, here's another corroborating ...

I don't know about you guys, but the more I read the more I realize the US is f*cked. Now he wants to take over elections? What could go wrong?
