The reason for this is that the mass of a falling object is negligible in relation to the mass of the Earth. the mass of the Earth cannot probably sti...

I just watched the congress hearing above. Three independent witnesses all very sober and well qualified, being taken very seriously by government and...
Abstract generalisations of this sort can best be defined by considering their negative space - that which they exclude. What is unreal, can be virtua...
I agree about that. But again, who involves themselves in such arguments except committed believers and equally committed disbelievers? As if religion...
I see. Well perhaps we have a substantive disagreement after all. If one invokes Christian imagery, one is laying oneself open to the accusation of et...
Of course, how could you stop me from feeling persecuted if I felt persecuted. I don't feel persecuted at all, as it happens, at least, not by you. Bu...
The video didn't do it for me. but this is more clear as a non-starting point to start from. https://smartnightreadingroom.files.wordpress.com/2013/05...
Have you realised yet that this thread is a waste of time? I sometimes refer to Aesop's fables. They are morally instructive, even for people who do n...
One man's meat is another's poison. In this context one human identity is poisonous to another human identity, so one needs to identify self and poiso...
It always looks more like solid ground to me when the causes of war are identifiable as economic rather than ideological. So why would there be a big ...
Yeah, that was a little ironic dig, as I am attempting myself to offer a social science/anthropological analysis, from which view it all appears as pe...
W.S. Gilbert. Iolanthe. The peculiarity of gender and sexual identity in this culture is that what Nature contrives must first be hidden from public g...
I have done so, and have no such belief because I have also studied something of Indian, Chinese, and African cultures. And I have found much of value...
On the contrary, one cannot understand oneself and one's potential biases without some study of the history of the culture in which one was raised. Li...
Tell me more about what I should let go of, and how you know its value so well. Some say that it was a Christian society that brought about the enligh...
That is excellent, because the way it enters is via the devilish wrong understanding, like wot da Bible say. But I think there is also a simpler, and ...
A straight line, or a curve? Climb the mast of a ship in mid ocean and look to the horizon. It appears in a clear day as a very straight line that is ...
It looks to me, reading this thread, that your disagreement with @"Srap Tasmaner" is curiously founded on a mutual reification of 'science' — an ironi...
Indeed, the way I heard it, a narrow gateway, you could only get a camel through unladen, or a rich man dispossessed of his burden of wealth. There is...
I think they paid for it already. If DeSanity will contract to be my slave along with a few generations of his descendants I'll teach him whole bunch ...
I have to report that there is as a matter of fact a state of absorption sometimes called 'flow', which I have experienced, mainly playing music, but ...
I have to admit that I have seen no reasonable evidence in this thread of any poster being terminally stupid, uncaring or insane. If I had, I would ce...
Ah, I see. There is some ambiguity in the word 'love'. I'm not referring to the emotion in that sense. Would you be happier if I used 'care', or 'affe...
And boars. And bores. Well yes. we're back to power here, are we not? Puissance — what (any)one can do: which is a function of culture (the system) ra...

Childishness is performed subservience. Reminds me of a thing I noticed about some US women - voices like the Chipmunks. Cute indeed! My ignorance of ...
Why do you call it paternalistic rather than maternalistic? Don't confuse paternal with patriarchal here. The infant is helpless, so the power relatio...
Interesting thread. Is consciousness cognition? Or is cognition something one might be conscious of. Or can both be true at once, such that consciousn...
That's a bit oppressive of you, isn't it? If your theory is also The philosopher psychologist assumes the position of superiority, which is a power re...
You say negotiation, others say appeasement. Peace in our time can mean a God awful bloodbath in someone else's time. Well the thread moves fast, so y...
Of course they haven't. Of course there is no magic line. But there is a social inheritance that is expressed for example in nationalism, and ethnic i...
Speaking of history, I feel this thread is in need of a mention of the Holodomor, so here it is. https://shron2.chtyvo.org.ua/Zbirnyk_statei/Canadian_...
Russia at the beginning of the 20th century was still in the process of emerging from the medieval organisation of society. The liberation of the serf...
This is my method psychologically, but don't apply it externally; don't wait for the roof to mend itself, or even for yourself to spontaneously become...
Yes, that is where the words stop; there is no how, no method. You know, there are 'methods' for relaxing, but they are actually not methods but distr...
I was hoping my post was an illustration of that. I don't think I can explain it much better. When one has a problem, it is generally the result of a ...
So because one does not live and smoke in the mind, but in the real world, one has to make up one's mind. Otherwise, one remains in two minds about it...
