I am very passionate about education and democracy and I seriously do love it when someone is supportive of education and democracy. That is very rare...
The rock that rolls down a mountain and crushes a man is being cruel? Your wording is intellectually stimulating. Old age can be very cruel but that i...
I think we should consider that possibility. Have you seen the British show "Humans"? It is pretty heavy as it pushes us to take another look at our v...
Thank you. I can remember that question from my childhood as my mother could only work for low women's wages and was paid less than a man hired to do ...
Your post is one of the most mentally stimulating posts I have read this year. I am going to say a lot and I am not sure how correct these new to me, ...
Athens's patron goddess favored the life of a man over a woman's life and I have a problem with that patriarchy. I I think, when it comes to abortion ...
It is not knowledge that is the end all but how we process our thoughts. Anyone can be valuable in the discussions providing the individual has had pr...
This thread has wandered all over the place and I hadn't noticed it was moved to the lounge but I can live with all that because I think the few of us...
Okay, I now hope we can bring Universeness around to the possibility that is the foundation of our democracy- humans will do as well as they know how ...
Thank you for the mention. You made me think of today's news about national leaders who appear to benefit themselves by exploiting others. To jump on ...
I love you. :love: And our democracy will continue to self-destruct until we all know what you said. Fortunately, someone was wise enough to introduce...
What about voting for the opposing party, writing to representatives and the newspaper, and unions? The State took my grandchildren and I joined with ...
I am sorry, I do not follow what you are saying. You are saying "no" to what? You do not think religion is a story that shapes our thinking and behavi...
:lol: That is preposterous that an evolved species would think itself the ultimate ruler of the universe and so they make a god in their own image. Ex...
Those bad things were not rights. They were a failure to know better. Greek philosophy, if it gets good results it is good/moral. If it gets bad resul...
You are right. We are not focused on how what we believe relates to how we behave and that is a problem because we are not developing self-awareness a...
You do know we are talking about how we use this planet, right? Indigenous people held a spiritual relationship with the land, and our lives and the p...
Thank you so much! I think our discussions would be much improved the the notions of logos and prime mover. And from there, even the gods were subject...
Oh my, what a delicious field of exploration you have opened for us. Our mental state has a lot to do with our physical state. Being spiritual can lit...
Gilgamesh and the present have something to do with human nature. We need to be careful about our understanding of freedom. We have more agreement tha...
That is what Thomas Jefferson, and Cicero before him, meant when they spoke of the pursuit of happiness. Before we focused education on the advancemen...
That sounds like a familiar explanation. What are the forces that cause the motion? What is gravity? If nothing counterbalances gravity why doesn't th...
As usual, your post is so profound I am a bit overwhelmed. My thought seems very little compared to the concepts of your explanation however for the s...
Might it be possible that our understanding of energy and matter is culturally biased and also lacks more recent information about quantum physics and...
Let me begin by telling you know how much I appreciate how your post pushed me to a new realization of a better way to explain the importance of educa...
You have done nothing but insult. Good reasoning requires following some laws of logic and your post is not a good example of that. Name-calling such ...
No matter does not move around. If my computer desk decides to move itself to the other side of the room, I will scream and run out of the door. Not m...
The book "Great Thinkers of the Eastern World" is easier to read than Fritjof Capra and prepares us to understand Tao which is great for reading Greek...
Philosophically I am seeing a question about what makes us good. Most ancient people used a notion of family for social order. Going out and drinking ...
I understood the song to say that being human is being messed up. I don't know what we might get away with because sooner or later the consequences of...
I am not sure but I think your freedom may be, anarchy and I think anarchy is intolerable. On the other hand, understanding culture and the importance...
You might enjoy The Tao of Physics by Fritjof Capra. It is mind-blowing to me that we are still materialists. Everything is energy. Logos, reason, the...
I liked James song. Last night I saw a show about ethnicity and how rape music gives these victims a voice. James is a good counter to that. Like bein...
Yeah! :grin: What you said is so agreeable to me. I remember spiritual concepts such as "He is in good spirits today". Meaning the man was happy. Some...
You are right. Logos is the laws of nature that can not be violated without bad consequences. That is nuts! :rage: I am unsure of what you mean to com...
Universeness, look at what I found about language- I am very excited because it sort of explains how my understanding of words is not the same as ever...
Your first quote above imo, should be used by Jamal to promote TPF. Your second quote is is very well put, and makes me feel a little regretful that I...
That is a very interesting term. Is that mob rule? Being caught up in impersonal emotionalism. If it is impersonal, the individual is not responsible ...
I believe that concept of power is a delusion because no group of humans no matter how create their numbers or their wealth and technology, that power...
Ah, I got you. Wanting change and depending on someone else to change things, is like being a good Jew, Christian, or Muslim praying to God to fix thi...
As a woman who was a daughter, mother, and grandmother, I strongly believe we need the concept of family duties. I dearly wish the people who deliver ...
What "duty is a noble lie"? Duty is a concept and it is as real as we make it. You know, a concept, an abstract idea, not a tangible reality that eith...
I am sorry I am very aware of what happens in other countries. I do not any British people to ask about Brexit. I know US citizens are strongly oppose...
It makes me aware and includes me in the mourning even if it may not include you. I very much like the bicycle that is permanently on the corner where...
How can self-awareness be increased? I think this needs to go with the awareness of others too. Racism blows me away because it is such an expression ...
