The north is being used as a Petri dish. The surge a month ago was fuelled by schools and universities going back, so now the increases will be reduci...
The real estate bubble in the UK is due to a systemic failure of government, Although it was the privelidged classes who benefited from it, I don't th...
Lockdowns are spreading across Europe as the virus surges today. Infection in Czechoslovakia is very high at the moment, with similar levels to Wiscon...
That sort of complacency will let the commies in. Or in other words, it's ok to chop your own head off in a world without commies, but not in one wher...
Surely the goal is, by hook, or by crook, to live a rounded, benevolent, congenial life, enhanced with at least a little service to thy fellow man. Fo...
Quite, I was, perhaps clumsily, saying that of those who seek Nirvana, only those who are ready will realise it. Also that some folk can't be doing wi...
Nice thread. My first thoughts are that this is about practice informed by contemplation. That it is a good starting point for this practice. That the...
I hear you, but I'm not so confident that they engage in any joined up thinking. One would think that the Tory's would want to keep their older voters...
You don't seem to have much understanding of humanity. After all we are primates with a complex social and economic structure with a long history of w...
The virus seemed to be spreading unimpeded across parts of the UK for a while until about a week ago. With a few cities and counties having up to 1,00...
Thanks for the link, I am a fellow traveler looking for an answer to these questions. I would like to add something for you to consider. Firstly, it i...
But the explanation you give, via science, is not how you came to be here, it is merely the mechanism by which you body came to be constituted. We rea...
I'll elaborate, the answer to the question ought to be contingent on the answer to these two questions; How did we come to be here? And For what purpo...
Quite, and how will you know? Yes and when it comes to the esoteric, science, academic knowledge etc is also in the dark. Quite, not an easy thing to ...
I like what you say about testing the logic through introspection, I do that too. What I was thinking of was a kind of contemplation in which you are ...
Both Christmas's are going to fall over the precipice. It's a slow motion car crash. I'll get out my Tom Waites albums, (Clue, The Piano has been drin...
Quite, I do think he wanted a deal, but only on unreasonable terms. He always wanted to have his cake and eat it. So it's just as likely that he has b...
Johnson has said now that we are heading for an "Australia deal", code for no deal. It might be a handfisted attempt at brinkmanship, but sounds more ...
There are a number of approaches, a good start is to develop an affinity with animals, through a pet for example. Animals are free of a thinking mind,...
Well, a person (a being) is not just a mind, they are also a body and a consciousness within that body. So each being knows their body, their life and...
I agree and I have tried that too, but not with much success. Western philosophy is derived from the classical tradition, it seems with logic and anal...
I would add the caveat that these truths are restricted to what we are able to consider from our limited perspective as animals with a recently emerge...
Interestingly there is a technology which has been lost, or at least the skills to practice it. The ability to work stone as the stone masons did when...
Yes, although there is a demographic pattern. The population's that were hit first time round had people often travelling abroad and bringing it back,...
Its feeling more serious this time. Many nurses and doctors are still exhausted from the first wave. They were already over worked before Covid, often...
A hot topic, I suppose. Also social media is starting to ban more. The pandemic is coming back with a vengeance in the UK, a number of towns and citie...
Yes, although it has gone a stage further, the housing market is like a ladder as you sell your small house, you buy a larger one because you have the...
Yes, add this to mass consumerism creating wage slaves, then we're there. The asset inflation is a big deal in the UK at the moment, as I pointed out ...
Perhaps a pernicious creeping fascism would work. The problem I see is with consent, it will have to be done in a way that the people think they are f...
So its divide and secretly rule perhaps. I just didn't see how the recent (previous) administrations where driving it (consciously at least). Rather I...
Looks like he was fooling around and when it took off, got into some data mining. QAnon is big here in the UK now, the've even been protesting in Traf...
Ok, not normality, perhaps, a return from insanity to more of the usual. Anyway, will they slink back under their stone? Or is the genie out of the bo...
Agreed. For someone to reach the point of being in power in a large country they will have a strength of character which will enable them to dismiss w...
I wouldn't use the words "secretly confident", rather, secretly worried. I say this because the scientists who became embroiled in the media circus ar...
The demise you refer to is of a whole different order of magnitude to what Frank is talking about. The planet will be entirely extinguished. This is u...
I doubt this, there is a phenomenon amongst climate scientists, in which they shy away from saying anything conclusive, or alarmist, because they risk...
