As to the politics and economics, what is required is to wage a global war against CO2. Money becomes irrelevant in wartime, one does whatever it take...
May I point out that covering the oceans will prevent phytoplankton from absorbing CO2. Put your solar panels on coastal deserts instead, and use the ...
About half the members here have no posts. The mere sight of us chronic sufferers seems sufficient to cure them entirely. What you see in this hospita...
We're all in heaven already, but we get bored singing hallelujah, So God has made us this totally immersive game full of goodies and baddies and diffi...
Perhaps, I don't know, not having a crystal ball, but I don't see why - there's nothing can be done about society without free will, except what is in...
That's all I require of free will, that when I realise I am going the wrong way, I can turn around; that my actions are determined by my understanding...
Definition. God is that which is most important. Everyone has something that is most important in their life. One gives supreme worth to something - w...
No, no mention of conspiracy there. I agree with this and what follows. Except to say that being disgruntled at the loss of privilege is not cranky, b...
I'm not a great creator myself, but I have come across rocks so heavy I cannot lift them. But not rocks so heavy that an omnipotent being cannot lift ...
Nor do I. I imagine it involves some notion of justice, and comes under the general rubric of sociology and social studies. And of course that is a fi...
When I was admin on the old site, (admin is like editor), there were times I could not e sure if a post was garbage or something I didn't understand, ...
He isn't. vegetarian - not made of meat bacon - a meat product. God cannot make vegetarian bacon, although he is omnipotent, because I have just defin...
Well my darlings, it is very easy to find and mock contradictions in human endeavours of all kinds, and such mockery is not without purpose. First you...
This seems an odd sentiment to me. Suspicious characters get arrested, locked up, remanded in custody, sometimes for months, and then eventually maybe...
When I was a night porter for a hotel for the disabled, I had a police background check, because I would be alone with vulnerable adults. I imagine it...
No it doesn't. I justifies erring on the side of caution and protection when there is a credible accusation. I'm not basing this on his ugly face and ...
Yes, he might. I wouldn't want my daughter working for him. But more to the point, I wouldn't want my daughter tried by him or have his decision rule ...
Which mob is that? You have heard of a precautionary principle, right? It applies in all sorts of situations, but particularly in matters of the prote...
When it comes to my daughter, I wouldn't wait for proof, and I wouldn't be concerned about the rights of the accused, I simply wouldn't leave her in t...
A bit of history and economics with your politics? Sorry, this vid is a bit long, but what it shows is not that democracy is a bad idea, so much as th...
Ok, can I press you a little further? If atheism is impoverished in relation to monotheism, is not monotheism impoverished in relation to animism? (I ...
This is a comparatively weak criticism of psychiatry. It is part of the process of medial science that one begins with a group of symptoms, that used ...
I find it hard not to continue the progression to the denial of the last God, and eventually the de-animation of humanity itself into a 'mechanism'. E...
Well sure. But the question only arises in the context of it not being ok in general. My own view is that every lie is destructive of meaning, and of ...
It seems entirely natural to me to treat things as beings. People even now talk to their cars or computers and try to cajole them into behaving themse...
I applaud and honour your vocation. It is perhaps particularly appropriate to the times to begin with truth and honesty. It's as old as Aesop's 'The B...
Interesting topic - to me anyway - I studied both at ninnyversity. I think a historical account is a good place to begin. Philosophy is old, and psych...
Thetans are stupid then, by the sound of it. In which case there's no particular reason to go back to that state. This seems like the equivalent to th...
I think we might agree that in this case a moment's consideration is due consideration, if not rather more than is due. Whereof one cannot eat, thereo...
Indeed, and so we have the notion of holding to account, whereby we like to show folks their crap and rub their noses in it. In this case, the cameras...
What's the story about how a mighty OT comes to be a neurotic wimp that has to or wants to or ought to, go through the process of rehabilitation? What...
A moment's reflection shows me that this is the opposite of the truth. We all eat worms, don't we? And we understand that eventually we will be worm-f...
Yes, that is clear, as to the process, it is a job interview not a court room. But in that case, there is no reason to be overly concerned about corro...
I'm with Trump on that, not merely evasive, "Kavanaugh's testimony was 'incredible". Are US prosecutors routinely partisan in their case management, o...
You may well be right on that score. I'm not really competent to judge the background behaviour, only the couple of days of hearing I have followed. I...
It goes to church on Sunday, and cleans its teeth twice a day, and likes beer. Or is that a good supreme court judge? Size isn't everything, and speed...
Perhaps it was his point, and perhaps it's true. I wonder what you or he would count as evidence? One could obviously count anyone admitting they were...
I don't think these are alternatives. I'm not sure about others, but I tend to think my opinions are true, and when I stop thinking they are, I change...
