:up: Interesting. Thanks for sharing that, as well as your other posts. Would be inclined to agree. I think it was perhaps Oscar Wilde who said “I won...

:up: Interesting, thanks. Have the book by James Scott you mentioned on hold at the library. Hadn’t heard of it before.

Various thoughts on the subject... The powerful leaders of the world and the corporations that support them, are but the current guard of a very long ...

That is exactly what @"Bitter Crank" did, if you recall. Huh? Now who is “doodling” on the thread? Care for some brandy? :snicker:

:up: Amen! Agreed. And well-said.

Thanks for starting this interesting thread with your original post. You do make some good points on what is both an important yet often overlooked to...

Good stuff. Thanks for sharing it. Hopefully, it won’t take complete disaster to rouse us from our slumber. Disasters have a strange effect of making ...

October 13, 2018 at 12:35
Thanks for your reply. That seems to be a clear example of the mindset. It seems like you are resisting it and trying to be aware, which is about the ...
October 10, 2018 at 23:39
:up: Yep, advertising is the front-line attack on our minds. We are so used to it that it is nearly omnipresent and invisible, thus increasing its eff...

Sometimes, even despite your better instincts, you just get the urge to merge.

Once I tried to be saved and repent of my doubting nature and non-judgementalness. Close, but it didn’t fully take. I ended up “bored again”. You’ve b...

The mental clouds are slowly lifting... seems brain fog prevents one from realizing that they have brain fog. Before, I thought the whole Atkins diet ...

Dang, that’s it! To me, that seems like a clear description of the practical benefits of being aware of how we identify ourselves. And how other peopl...

If the Democrats nominate HRC again, they deserve to lose again. I doubt Bernie will even try next time. One wonders if Mr. Prez will even make it to ...

Between play and work is somewhat of a “order from chaos” relationship. Not to idealize or dismiss one side or the other. The finished piece of furnit...
September 24, 2018 at 11:37
Sports... kind of a large subject of its own, but I thought it relates here. Are sports more play, work, or competition? Is there some kind of ideal b...

I bet having the off-topic stuff on page two might possibly help with donations. Who wants to give cash to a Philosophical site with topics like “Dang...
