A benefit of living in the US is knowing that different tribes had different cultures. The training for Apache warriors began at birth with harsh rear...

When I engaged with criminals, it seemed evident that the reason they did bad was that they did not know how to do better. Especially one young person...

I don't think that last line defines my experience. :lol: My living space is now cluttered with books related to discussions, especially Jack's thread...

I like your post, however, I will argue, as long as there is an argument we need to argue. Forums do not restrict membership to those who have an agre...

That is very different from believing there is nothing between the plants, and what is in space is perfect orbs, and nothing in space changes. Seeing ...

That is an awesome story. It is interesting to me, and I would like to know more about how her home was turned into a grocery store. I have to use thi...

I appreciate your humor. I can drop my concern about the depression thread, but the thread came up in a search, and that could benefit the forum if it...
September 04, 2025 at 13:54
In answer to your question "One question may be what are the benefits and disadvantages of throwing the idea of 'God' aside in philosophy?" I want to ...

I am glad your father survived the coal mine. That was not a healthy place to be, and one of the best Great Depression. Would like to know more about ...

I use AI as a source of information. That means I am constantly learning. All this learning is more fun when I share it with others, and from my point...

Oh my goodness, he has a few books that appear to be complementary to Spinoza's ideas of nature and mind. These thinkers appear to me more appealing t...

That was a lot about smell. When it comes to sex, our noses play an important role in our feelings of attraction.
September 02, 2025 at 15:36
Well, that is exactly what I have believed for a few years. It works perfectly with Buddhist concepts, but I have not come across the concepts with a ...

What if God is quantum consciousness, and you are part of it? What if you never died? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdXkBLlQxPg

This video really excites me. I don't believe it is 100% correct. In the ancient past, there was sacred math, and that means Turing may not have origi...
September 02, 2025 at 01:47
That is very interesting and hits upon something I have been struggling with for years. I have never been correctly indoctrinated into a religion or s...

AI says this. I think this information needs to go with the information about electromagic energy. What are these brain waves? What creates them? Musi...

Yes you are right, but that is not the whole story.:starstruck: You got my youthful thoughts all excited and I feel young and alive in the moment. In ...
September 01, 2025 at 18:53
I have been watching an explanation of Spinoza and I like all is God. For me, telepathy means there is an energy that is different from our other form...
September 01, 2025 at 17:24
According to Spinoza God is the universe. God is nature. God is all that is and ever will be. We are made of by nature, and nature is God. We are not ...
September 01, 2025 at 17:17
I agree with that logic, but I am not sure that we know all there is to know. Years ago, someone I PM lost her husband, and I had a strong urge to ask...

I am quite sure the deceased have communicated to others through me. I am not positive of that, but there is no other way to explain some experiences....
September 01, 2025 at 00:05
Sure. Quite a while ago, I read that we know who we are by checking our feelings. Recently, I came across the notion that our default mood defines who...
August 31, 2025 at 23:56
How would I know who I am without my personal pain and suffering? What would give my life purpose and meaning? What would hold me separate from God? T...
August 31, 2025 at 17:35
This is interesting and essential if one is interested in the history of thoughts about existence and a god. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLJDAGFJj...
August 31, 2025 at 16:50
Getting back to you about the books you listed. I was able to read some of "Information and the Nature of Reality" this morning. I think I have a book...
August 31, 2025 at 15:57
That could lead to an unpleasant discussion.:lol: I have a few words to say about delusion and political problems, but that would not be philosophical...

I think many who could afford a farm turned to farming during the Great Depression. My grandparents owned a chicken farm, so they ate well but.... The...

Wow! I love :heart: what you said! I don't know which nation you are talking about, but the US is in big trouble! The Roosevelts had a different set o...
August 31, 2025 at 14:31
Plagiarizing someone else's writing is wrong. I grew up with that rule and have strong feelings about the wrong. However, as I sit out here all alone ...
August 31, 2025 at 13:48
I would really appreciate any corrections to what I am saying about GD, because I was not there. I think for some of us where I live, the recession wa...
August 31, 2025 at 13:34
That would not be very useful.
August 30, 2025 at 17:48
Thanks, I looked for the lounge but couldn't find it. Too much on my mind all at once, shuts my brain down. I am most concerned about what the people ...
August 30, 2025 at 17:46
Thank you. I will follow the Hippie path. The more scientific one causes my brain to shut down. One of my favorite philosophers is James Williams, and...
August 30, 2025 at 17:37
Back to the Great Depression. Herbert Hoover's "rugged individualism" lost him the election and put Franklin Roosevelt in the presidency. The Roosevel...

And in Texas, the grade school textbooks do not mention the problem, and because they buy so many textbooks, they are written to please the people in ...

Wow, that is delicious. I have a big problem with binary thinking. I did not know that holistic thinking is being practiced by some scientists. That m...

How was a divorce good for both of you? Did she have that great career that liberation seemed to promise us, and does she live in economic comfort as ...
August 30, 2025 at 00:23
Oh my God! What you said needs to go into the discussion I have been having with BC is the thread about how children should be raised. It is possible ...
August 29, 2025 at 23:59
What if all this crashes in only 100 years? Will our young be prepared to figure out how to survive? We would be far past peak oil if it were not for ...
August 29, 2025 at 23:28
This is a comment about the book made by the online used book store ThriftBooks. That seems to explain what I experienced this morning. For sure, I wa...
August 29, 2025 at 22:59
That was beautiful, and I will make this reply simple. A child born today could be alive 100 years from now.
August 29, 2025 at 22:13
I wish everyone knew much more about geology than they do. AL fails to give an adequate explanation of what oil has to do with banking, but at least k...

AI agrees Louis Moreau Gottschalk blended culturally different music. A look at all the different sources of music makes the social scene look like a ...

How could it not become popular?! It is energetic and lifts a person's spirits. The total opposite of Jim Crow. Thank you for mentioning things like t...
August 29, 2025 at 16:27
I am reading my post, and I am thinking, women's liberation happened!
August 29, 2025 at 15:19
Wow, I am so glad you replied! Your observation seems right, but I am not part of that, and the 1970s recession was like the Great Depression where I ...

Edward T Hill was an anthropologist and wrote of how every culture has a consciousness and a subconscious, just as individuals do. I think nations nee...

I follow your mention of the Tao and the notions of unity or separation. I have a problem with believing we are separate from God. The Egyptians belie...
