Wow. I'm glad I continued to question you because that is some of the best poetry I've read lately!

Well, a jig is a kind of dance; a lively dance. So, it is a form of dancing. Thus is defined as 'therefore' or 'as a result or consequence of this.' S...

That seems like a bit of a tautology.

"I don't think there is any reason to think that dreams are produced in collaboration with others." What are the 'others' you speak of here?

Syria and the Middle East is a proxy war between the east and the west. It is a mess! Check out these maps showing the different factions and occupied...

I think the current fiat monetary system is truly unstable and it is not a matter of if it will collapse, but rather when. However, why do you say tha...

He would take a statement such as this and then run it through different schools of mathematics and the paradox would always persist.

The article you provided was about this quote "banks and corporations will deprive the people of all property." Which is not my quote. Here is a Forbe...

Then it would also follow since you have never been dead before that we cannot say that death is nothingness.

But it logically follows because we can imagine going to sleep and never waking up (at least, crudely); therefore, we should be able to imagine the in...

I presume the imagining waking up after never having gone to sleep must have been tough because the only thing that would describe that would be birth...

Your answer was everything I wish I could have written:)

I see what you're saying, but some of what you're assumes that we understand the consciousness of newborn babies and that is something that really can...

The first two may not be from nature in the sense they are like a tree, but if you google them, they have an image, a shape, they occupy matter and sp...

I wish you the best, but I hear it is a very hard field. There is a lot of pressure if you want to be successful and not many get to publish or do res...

I agree with a lot of what you say, but I think the idolatry is the key problem that I take serious issue with.

All symbols, sounds, or whatever represent something in nature that we are trying to express to other people.

I mean the double slit experiment and quantum entanglement may to support your idea empirically.

You posed a lot in your comment, but I want to address one thing that I have a follow up question to: the Bible states that you should not worship fal...

Great response! I truly don't think there is an answer to my inquiry; I just like to hear what others have to input.

I think your response might be a form of poetry in and of itself :)

It's an interesting concept isn't it?

Well, I get my intel from my senses (empirically), from then I make decisions about them through using reason (rationalism)...I don't I can separate t...

Intuition and the subconscious is a powerful and a mysterious force. This may be related but somewhat off topic, but I find it interesting how I say t...

I see what you are getting at. When I was first introduced to Zoroastrianism in my religion class I took in college, I was mind blown. It seemed that ...

I don't know if there is a 'right' way to respond to the world, but I do believe that we should not let the world dictate our inner world. That is to ...

That's an amazing answer. It really does make me think. I posed this question simply for philosophical purposes, not because I am suicidal, but becaus...

"For me the 'dark' thoughts have become (more or less) toys for the intellect," very well said!

Do you think it matters whether or not Jesus was a literary character or a true being if the overall effect was the same?

I really appreciate your answers, they are very thought provoking. I am not posing this question necessarily from a personal reason; it mainly stemmed...

That is a beautiful and articulated response. I guess my follow up question is, what if you find no joy in life? What if you see it as a continual str...

This is a tough question, while my optimistic side wants to believe that the world has far surpassed these primitive tenacities. The police violence i...

I really agree with your last paragraph. You summarize the true daily existence of humans. Aside from philosophical inquiry, and I truly respect that....

I truly respect your passion for uncovering the truth. We live in an age where information is in an abundance, but with that, critical thinking become...

I think there is something objective; that is, the things that we can perceive though our senses. Now, subjectivity enters the mix by trying to interp...

I mean of course it has been interpreted through some means of media, but I try and inform myself through non-mainstream sources. And this story was p...

When you say it "would create the impression that if Jesus was resurrected, the laws of nature were transcended," it seems to me that that mainly poin...

So, I understand my question is loaded and possibly poorly phrased for such a difficult concept; but, from what I conclude from your response, is it t...

I switched up some of the wording. Tell me if that helps with your answer.

When you're thinking in your head or writing something as I do now, are you not doing it one thought or word followed by another thought or word?
