I understand that and that superstition has led to a very bad situation. The believers and nonbelievers are in a serious conflict. I have found public...

It appears you are very well-read and that is honorable. However, I must address what looks to me as an attack on technology and democracy. Thomas Jef...

This is not what I expected this thread to be about but I have some thoughts on this idea so I will verbalize them. I have decided if there is life af...

I hate it when I forget the little word "not". It makes a slight difference in what I mean. :lol: Pinprick, I think you have made an excellent argumen...

Decad is ten. And you have made delightful points. For sure why stop at a trinity? I never thought of that before, but what is the rule that a God can...

:lol: And Christianity rejected the authority of the Jewish system of authority. Perhaps we need a good comedian to help us see the irony in that. The...

I am unsure of your meaning, but not many of us would be able to write a book on quantum physics, so maybe when people were writing the word of God, t...

That is contrary to the older Egyptian notion of the trinity of our souls. When we die part of that trinity, the physical part, becomes nonexistent. P...

You lost me on that one. I prefer attempting to imagine a past consciousness and what the Greek effort to understand the mysteries of math has to do w...

My guess is some people hate vegans for the same reason some people hate Jews. A claim to moral superiority and rejection of normal customs can come b...

Whoo, whoo you are doing it to me again! There is so much I do not know and getting through this ignorance to enlightenment is very challenging! There...

At the moment of the big bang there was something. From that moment to the present a lot has changed. A measure of change involves a concept of time. ...

You made my day with that question. I had to gather information to explain my meaning and that lead to an enlightening experience as I realized the re...

It is my understanding the Christians were killing each other during Contanople's time because of the debate of if God was three or one. This was a pr...

Huh? Love and justice are abstracts. A Father and Son can be tangible when they are the result of tangle humans who have sex, but the existence of sup...

Time is not something. Time is not tangible. Time like math is an abstract. It is an invention of our minds and applied to what exists. According to t...

Democracy is what we make it, but to get something changed requires a huge effort and connecting with the people who are willing to work for the chang...

I think our consideration of equality is equal under that law, not equally beautiful, or equally talented, or equally motivated. As some businesses ar...

Where do you live? Where I live we can write to our representatives, and write letters to the editor, and protest in the streets, attend public hearin...

You are responding to a post where I said the Military-Industrial Complex has been in control of education since the 1958 National Defense Education A...

The enemy was welcomed with open arms at the end of WWII, Not only did nations compete for German scientists, but the US also adopted Germany's models...
November 28, 2021 at 16:26
And people believe the Military-Industrial Complex is just theory and the same things as Hitler's New World Order. Charles Sarolea's book "The Angle G...

Thank you, you are so right! Americans are not voting sensibly and the change in education is why they are not. Mad Fool, I don't think you are gettin...
November 28, 2021 at 15:52
And they will probably succeed because we have been educated for that. Trump is our Hitler and the supporters of both men have had the same education ...

And if religions put away their holy books and began teaching math and science, they would be as weak as our democracy is now. Autocracy does not requ...

No, but I will walk away hoping this morning is just an off day and not what can be expected in the future.
November 28, 2021 at 15:11
That past is the result of education for citizenship specifically a citizen of the US. I think the Brits also have a very strong history of freedom of...

I just want to know the final date for entries. You know the procrastinator's motto, never do today what can be put off until tomorrow.
November 28, 2021 at 14:09
What does that mean? I am really disappointed this morning. I am not seeing any post that I consider worthy of contemplation and a considerate reply. ...
November 28, 2021 at 13:56
How do you understand things?
November 28, 2021 at 13:47
I suspect your goal was to be sarcastic and to ridicule what I said, please correct me if I am wrong. I have been the person on the street and in publ...
November 27, 2021 at 17:43
Well, we certainly have agreements on that point! I have been looking into this problem, and it appears there is a strong argument that God puts thoug...
November 27, 2021 at 17:27
Since 1958 we have focused on preparing our young to be products for industry. We have been teaching them what to think, not how to think. Now everyon...

Yowsa! Those IQ tests should not be used to judge human beings! I have known geniuses who are totally unfit human beings. IQ testing in our schools, r...
November 27, 2021 at 16:19
I totally agree with you, and perhaps we want to explore if our society played a role in this? I am horrified by public broadcasting shows for childre...

Our intelligence is not just what we know, but also our ability to ask good questions. It also helps to know where to look for good answers. :lol: Wik...

Oh my goodness, I didn't mean for any statements to be taken personally. I think we have a whole lot of misunderstandings. I am quite sure none of the...

Thank you that is what I was hoping we would get at. Okay, what of our hormones that define our human nature? Sex and mothering are hormonal. Now we c...
November 25, 2021 at 16:12
Well of course. Philosophy is about asking questions, and then daring to answer them. It is not being a know it all. Just this morning I read how we r...

War is insanity. Fortunately, we have international law and international organizations that might prevent war, and this was not so in the past. For s...

November 24, 2021 at 18:05
How about this, the US minded its own business and was known for isolating itself and being strongly against war. Our Constitution made it hard for th...

It should be obvious I love the Greek and Roman classics, but I am not as well informed as I would like to be. It is my understanding that the Celts g...

Thank you. What comes to mind is justice is not just property decisions. We have denied people their inalienable rights. I think a problem emerges whe...
