Sounds like hell, to me.

Oh sorry, “Centres for National Resilience”. It’s right next to the Ministry of Truth.

I agree with your general point. “Slipping back” is progress of a kind, after all. To where and to what we are progressing is never mentioned. I wager...

Not sure what that means.

I’m pretty sure that if the government sent goons to an American’s house and threw them in a quarantine camp like they did to their own citizens in so...

His measure is not whether it is from the past, but whether these conditions have become better or worse over time. So isn’t that the past itself is b...

Pinker says “We know that countries can slide back into these primitive conditions, and so we ignore the achievements of the Enlightenment at our peri...

It isn’t me who is denying you your fundamental right to defend yourself.

They probably won’t invade with the US continuing to shoulder their defense burden. But should the US step aside, an unarmed populace will have to wel...

Wait until someone invades Australia. Boomerangs won’t accomplish much. A defenceless populace is a servile one.

Not only are they using Ukraine as a proxy in their war with Russia, but now a scapegoat.

Intelligence Suggests Pro-Ukrainian Group Sabotaged Pipelines, U.S. Officials Say

What if he does not want help?

It’s more the absence of sense data, in so far as sense data has any meaning. Lights, sounds, touch—what is given to sense—tend to wake us from sleep.

I would sell him the alcohol because otherwise he risks descending into withdrawal, which can be painful and dangerous depending on the severity of hi...

It cannot. If human perception involves all of the components I have mentioned, the perciever is invariably a human organism, nothing more nothing les...

If the mind, the brain, or the little man can perceive sense-data, representation, idea, both the perceiver and the perceived ought to be able to stan...

I'm not sure social constructs are a good way to think these issues, personally, because there are members of the society that had little to no input ...

It is a fact that people identify themselves and others with this nomenclature, and no one is saying otherwise. I’m only saying people ought not to. R...

I am against what they say. I would call them “social impositions” because they were born of pseudoscience and imposed upon entire peoples. Besides, t...

Racial categorization predisposes one to racial bias. It’s a collectivist impulse; we end up responding to people more as members of a social group th...

Again I could care less about any of your propaganda. Fact is, all these investigations and conspiracy theories over the years and he has yet to be fo...

I honestly don’t care because everything to the anti-Trump brigade is a serious matter until one looks closely. Every conspiracy theory regarding Trum...

I also said “the boundaries between both X and Y are so unclear and amorphous that it could rather be the case that X is directly perceiving X.” How c...

Who cares? After years of Russia collusion, Covid propaganda, Ukraine warmongering, January 6th handwringings, and all the deep-state dinner theater n...

Even if it was true that trees are concepts that exist only in the mind, they are at the same place in the causal chain as the rest of the perceiver, ...

I’m only trying to argue that we ought not to use racial categories and to quit thinking with our epidermis. For me the fact that people use racial ca...

Remember when Rupert Murdoch was supposed to be some puppet master? He cannot even control his own employees. Another conspiracy theory turned nothing...

They utilize and further the same superstitions, nomenclature, and taxonomies born of pseudoscience to guide their thoughts and behaviors. It invariab...

So intellectually honest are you that you like to lie about what I said. But at least you were honest enough to admit your racism. So kudos for that.

Everything I say suggests something for you except what I actually suggest. I love being told what I think.

Assuming that anything “within the mind” is also within the perceiver, then one is indistinguishable from the other (so long as it is not a foreign el...

I bet you do not welcome racist biases at all and that it must pain you to have them. You have my pity. I don’t really care how you think things look ...

However, it has not yet been shown that the world the perceiving agent is perceiving exists within the mind or outside the mind. You’ve inserted anoth...

I don’t know what you’re stating, to be honest, besides that you harbour racial biases. That’s probably the clearest thing you’ve come up with. We can...

No, a racist, because you think the taxonomy of races is as valid as the taxonomy of apples and dog breeds, and you admit you hold racial biases.

And you were trying to explain why apple varieties and dog breeds were false taxonomies, and how they relate to anything we’re talking about. In so do...

Would you compare human races to dog breeds? So because of this you believe you hold a racist attitude towards certain out-groups.

I would avoid the equating of human races to breeds, or in your case, different cultivars of apples, because those arise through artificial selection,...

Public property is state property. The state decides the flags, like you get to decide what flags go on your property. Both parties seek to ban “latin...

If perceiving is an act of a perceiving agent, the act and the agent are one and the same. If they are one and the same, we can remove perception as s...

Is this about banning CRT and LGBTQXN in elementary schools?

Outlawing certain word combinations… is that how you personally stop believing in something? Did someone say it was a sin? I said it was false, unjust...

I said believing in it is the problem. Adopting it for good intentions or for whatever other reason doesn’t absolve one of it. It’s still false, unjus...

It works myriad of ways to those who are just. The use of these categories are unjust, and for the same reason it was unjust to use them in the past. ...

Employing and furthering the problem doesn’t only resist change, though, it compounds it. The only way to banish it is to quit using it.

Speak for yourself. I don’t see how that is possible when one doesn’t believe he can derive any valid information from such a vacuous concept. Better ...

Well said. Not to mention, the country has yet to shed its systemic racism, as observed by its racial demography in the census, or the so-called "dive...

I said discriminating against someone on account of their membership on in a false taxonomy is an inability to discriminate between individuals, not t...

There is nothing wrong with discrimination qua discrimination. We can discriminate between individuals, good and evil, competent and incompetent, skil...
