Correct.

There will always be uneasy universal race relations because too many individual persons identify themselves as a particular race or particular mixes ...
July 28, 2018 at 12:07
Race identification of others and oneself is a product of being a bit dumb, frankly. "Dumb" in the sense of emotional immaturity. Politicians, corpora...

(Missed numbering it) 2a. Do "you", as the thinker, generate an involuntary thought?
July 28, 2018 at 11:50
Personally I think that all thinking is involuntary - that they are induced within cause and effect. I think the idea of involuntary vs voluntary aris...
July 28, 2018 at 11:47
(repeat to include numbers for last three) 5. If "you" the thinker does NOT generate an involuntary thought, does it still not remain that an involunt...
July 28, 2018 at 11:38
1. So do "you", as the thinker, voluntarily generate a thought? 2. If so, how and why do you do this? Do "you", as the thinker, generate an involuntar...

Who is it or what is it that determines a lie has been spoken? The speaker may just have made an error, possibly based on rumor from another source. F...

Not really.

You have said Trump makes mistakes. I said it is likely. You want me to comment on every mistake you conceive him to have made without specifying each...
July 27, 2018 at 23:07
Just say what a fault is and I will then give you my thoughts of that fault you have identified. This is basic principle. If you have nothing, so be i...
July 27, 2018 at 22:49
The history follows me. It is perceived as it arises. I do not write everything down as it arrives. It is up to you to be specific for me to comment o...
July 27, 2018 at 22:48
You will perceive whatever is convenient to what you believe. Nothing surprising about that. Nothing special.
July 27, 2018 at 22:42
Oh. You found a convenient box to place me into. I don’t subscribe. You don’t have my permission so I’m not in that box. Feel free to delude yourself ...
July 27, 2018 at 22:39
I have stated several times he has made, and will make, mistakes and that this is inevitable because one cannot always predict what one’s opposition m...
July 27, 2018 at 22:29
I would only say it has negative psychological implications if this state of mind is expressed, by the person, as "trapped". 'Trapped" expresses a pro...
July 27, 2018 at 16:03
Good.
July 27, 2018 at 15:44
Yes. Your level. I replied in kind once you revealed your attitude. That is the end of our conversation.
July 27, 2018 at 15:43
Putin probably has some useful information on Trump's enemies. So of course he should keep his cards close to his chest. I suspect Putin had private b...

It was an action to hire Sessions. This turned out to be a mistake, in my opinion. To continue trying to work with Sessions as the DOJ is most certain...

You cannot be a thing separate from your experience. You can only be whatever the experience is. You identity is whatever is occurring. Whatever arise...
July 27, 2018 at 13:01
My argument is that one is what is occurring. It is impossible to be one without what is occurring and it is impossible for there to be any occurrence...
July 27, 2018 at 12:59
What is it, though, that is surviving? All these survival applications will still be involuntary because it will involve acts that were generated by t...
July 27, 2018 at 12:52
All you have done here is used a category as a point on a spectrum. "Passive" is merely a point on a spectrum, the entire spectrum being "action". "I ...
July 27, 2018 at 12:46
Which refers to my point about what is actually occurring. Labels for parts is not a good reference for what is actually occurring. "I am sitting at m...
July 27, 2018 at 12:30
Trying to find a label or box for myself is not something which interests me. My words are my words.
July 27, 2018 at 12:24
That appears to be a question, so no. I'll have to get back to you on your other inquiries. Inundated currently which I may not get through today.
July 27, 2018 at 12:21
He should have fired Jeff Sessions when he recused himself.
July 27, 2018 at 12:18
He should have fired far more people right from the start.
July 27, 2018 at 12:17
He will make mistakes out of not knowing what his opposition may do to thwart him. We can't always predict what others will do. It is just how it is f...
July 27, 2018 at 12:16
I think your understanding is somewhat limited. I don't know about you but when I have an idea and then try to make it something, and the first attemp...
July 27, 2018 at 12:13
The money is good, sure. Rubles are pretty steady at the moment. Maybe a better option than US fiat currency.
July 27, 2018 at 12:06
Mistakes in what sense? I am saying it is too early to assess his legacy as president because what he seems to want to achieve is still open to being ...
July 27, 2018 at 12:02
My point is mind/brain identical with body thereby one identifiable entity being "body-mind".
July 27, 2018 at 11:59
What do you mean "act upon"? Surely a thought perceived is always "acted upon". The act could be a dismissive action. . "nonconscious brain states are...

If I post a dozen times a day it is because I respond many times to who responds to me. I'm doing it now with you. I can't help being popular, and peo...
July 27, 2018 at 11:42
Do you have any "faults"? Everyone will find something they will disagree with with anyone else. We would likely refer to them as being wrong vs being...

I bet it's creation takes up most of your time.

Only either immediately or if it has been kept on ice. Is a detached ear still an ear if it is re-attached surgically onto a leg (just to maintain blo...

An actualist. An observer of what is obvious. No physical thing exists if it is not perceived.
July 27, 2018 at 11:11
The entire body is in the same "location" to exist. Remove the head the body also dies and vice versa.
July 27, 2018 at 11:08
Are you therefore saying "mind" refers to will?
July 27, 2018 at 11:05
1. "would normally be considered as political errors?" What are "normal" political errors? Do you have a list for comparison? 2."he remain in his posi...
July 27, 2018 at 04:56
Well I personally am unable to identify a thing which I believe is me. So it is indeed mysterious to me. This is why I fail to accept norms of languag...

Not a political error given he is still in the job with consideration to that fact so much is thrown at him.
July 26, 2018 at 13:07
Politically?
July 26, 2018 at 13:04
Bengazhi may not be over. There are thousands of email exchanges yet to be public.
July 26, 2018 at 12:38
However, a flaw for who? It becomes relative.
July 26, 2018 at 12:36
Maybe. Or a probe in a different direction could factor.
