I don’t care if God himself told him the election was legit. You, like Smith, are trying to read Trump’s mind. You in fact do not know that he knowing...

They knowingly made false accusations that Trump knowingly made false claims.
August 02, 2023 at 18:57
More fake word crimes levied from a political DOJ towards the regime’s biggest opponent. What’s new?
August 02, 2023 at 00:19
It does necessarily mean that what is being comprehended is the mind because the contents of the mind (like “conscious experience” or “phenomenal cons...
August 01, 2023 at 23:51
If it was comprehending anything that wasn’t mind it would be comprehending something that was independent of mind. It’s a circular answer. And you co...

I do not get them, and I don’t know how one could. If mind-dependent objects are everything the mind is comprehending, then it is comprehending itself...
August 01, 2023 at 20:23
I've read their arguments but they cannot show me a single mind-dependent object. Hence my incredulity. Are you able to point to one without pointing ...

I get the explanation, but my naive and common-sense understanding of the world prohibits me from following the arguments. I don’t know if I lack the ...
August 01, 2023 at 17:54
My own common-sense, naive view prohibits me from following along with any of these arguments. I become stuck on what I find to be an unresolvable pro...

We pluralize nouns. The problem is Jack-in-the-box is a clause being used as a noun. It has a subject and predicate. It has two nouns in it. So I woul...

The concept of race is unable to furnish any valid information about any given person. The best one could assume from the phenotypes associated with r...
July 28, 2023 at 14:47
I’m speaking of people, not situations. The taxonomy of race pertains to human beings. Do you apply the concept to people or situations?

I didn’t like when he said he was going to ban certain vaping products. Have you ever applauded him here?
July 28, 2023 at 04:22
You use the concept of race to inform your worldview. For instance you speak of “racial differences”.
July 28, 2023 at 00:51
Do you think the DOJ is an independent agency of the US government?
July 28, 2023 at 00:14
What did I write that someone with your species of race-thinking would object to?
July 28, 2023 at 00:08
If the suffix “ism” denotes a practice, system, or philosophy, it is not possible to see racism in an effect or social condition because neither have ...

No, they didn’t benefit from slavery, and no one suggested such a thing. But it is true that “slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could ...
July 24, 2023 at 14:37
Then why are your ears ringing?
July 24, 2023 at 02:55
As the scholar said, the idea was to point out that enslaved Africans proved resilient, resourceful, and adaptive both while enslaved and after. Do yo...
July 23, 2023 at 22:03
He was asked a question, as is evident from the video.
July 23, 2023 at 21:59
I think it’s a stretch to that because “slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit”, that they bene...
July 23, 2023 at 20:08
The argument is that Biden’s DOJ is benefitting Biden while trying to ruin his political opponent. That’s not whataboutism, I’m afraid, nor does it im...
July 20, 2023 at 17:22
It’s Biden’s DOJ. The attorney general reports directly to the president. The attorney general is on Biden’s cabinet, and advises Biden. His DOJ is cu...
July 20, 2023 at 14:28
I thought it was a good move. If you alienate someone from the world stage, as Biden likes to do, you eliminate any room for negotiations or improveme...
July 19, 2023 at 18:07
It will be interesting to see what this latest indictment is for. If it’s anything like the rest, it’s some deep-state neocon piffle, or some obscure ...
July 19, 2023 at 16:18
I’m not sure the lawsuits were a good idea because everything they did to alter how elections were ran was done legally at the legislative level, with...
July 14, 2023 at 16:38
Maybe in that reality warp you speak of such an act is disturbing, but if beneath the noses of American voters shadowy and conspiratorial groups with ...
July 14, 2023 at 16:20
I knew they were wrong from the get go. But you believed it.
July 14, 2023 at 15:09
There was a moral panic when Trump showed up on the scene. He was the next big dictator, compared to everyone from Mussolini, to Mugabe, to Mao. He wa...
July 14, 2023 at 14:54
Are you yourself controlled by someone else’s personal morality? I ask because all this talk of consequences and aggregate impacts and people’s feelin...
July 07, 2023 at 14:38
The bias, background, politics, wealth, or any other factor of a reporter or news outlet doesn’t matter. To say otherwise is the genetic fallacy. Even...
July 06, 2023 at 16:23
You may feel discouraged by the moral criticism, advice, and the arguments of others, but the feelings you feel are your own. Do you feel that way bec...
July 06, 2023 at 16:09
It’s always burdens and never boons. It’s always suffering but never pleasure. It’s always entropy but never negentropy or free energy. How come anti-...

“Standing up against injustice”. Do you mean retribution? I do believe in retribution. One has to be just. What that has to do with social control, I’...
July 05, 2023 at 14:50
The goal of criticizing immorality isn’t “social control”, whatever that means, but appealing to conscience and reason. One cannot control another’s m...

Give me your number. I can call you and you can confirm whether I’m awake or dreaming.
July 02, 2023 at 20:19
I’m awake.
July 02, 2023 at 15:21
There is plenty of evidence. It’s just that some people refuse to believe their lying eyes.
July 02, 2023 at 12:35
We’re either talking about the world or we’re talking about ourselves. As soon as we come to believe both are of the same reality we have no choice bu...
July 02, 2023 at 07:53
They should be 100% free to make choices about what products and services they consume for the simple reason it is no one else’s choice. Not only that...

I never said a lack of talent caused black people to be underrepresented. I said those CEOs were probably hired due to their talent. I think you know ...
July 01, 2023 at 00:00
My guess is they were elected elected by a board and shareholders based on their talent. Why do you think there are four black CEO's in the Fortune 50...
June 30, 2023 at 22:56
It is clear in the opposition to this decision that racism has never ended. Even Supreme Court Justices, who should know better, jumped to attack the ...
June 30, 2023 at 16:11
There is no sense in quibbling on the topic. “It is for all these reasons that we write to say that the arrival on the US polical scene of emails purp...
June 29, 2023 at 08:24
I can understand why you’d doubt the claims and investigations of the House republicans, but why are you being a running dog for the CIA? The entire p...
June 28, 2023 at 23:51
No thanks.
June 28, 2023 at 16:46
I never said there was a double standard between GOP and Dems, or left a right. The double standards are between those who oppose the deep state and t...

I thought it was pertinent info for those who believe one man should be another’s master. Either way, believe what you want.
