Indifference is a horrible state. To say you will marry someone because you are indifferent to their personality is like officially committing soul su...

What a load of rubbish. If something is inconceivably dense like a black hole, even without the emission of radiation including light, it doesn't mean...

Oh yeah, I forgot about your whole words thing, haha, I am so going to write posts to you full of Aussie slang. Anyway, well in the arvo the girls sta...

What I was attempting to convey - albeit poorly as I tend to get assumptive that people would simply get it - was that people adopt false perceptions ...

Not many people do get me, but in saying that admittingly it was not explained all to well. I had a long day rock-climbing with whinging girls. The po...

Good answer.

I'm not sure I understand, are you saying that black holes are merely theoretical? Perhaps elements of the subject do not completely ameliorate its ex...

So, if you met an attractive girl who is funny and highly intelligent, you would not be startled?
March 10, 2017 at 11:24
It is surely environmental. For instance, notions like masculinity play a pivotal role in opinions that are not really authentic, particularly in rela...

The supreme leader, man get it right.

That is actually a great point, I will certainly read it and with the recent banning of a children's movie in Russia, a focus on the subject vis-a-vis...

Netflix, man. A random romantic drama about a city girl, a cowboy and a horse that brings them together.

We communicate to each other, so, we learn. Its purpose is to enable us with the tools to transcend to a consciousness where we can think independentl...

I actually haven't read it, but the Master and Margarita is one of my favourite books because it is somewhat a literary triptych and contains a framed...

It's funny how some musicians you wouldn't really listen to tend to be amazing in concert. When I saw Gotye before he became famous many years back, h...

You seem to imply that making a positive change somehow equates to political change alone, but there are a plethora of other ways then simply running ...

I am interested in why you say painfully vivid images. Why should you find pain as something you need to avoid? My absolute favourite album when I was...

I listen to this when releasing my anger at the gym and thinking about people I don't like. :-} I am a fluffy person, I assure you, except... when at ...

Hmm, I'm not too sure about this. The criteria extends mere ideas because ideology is represented symbolically and its approach emblematic that attemp...

It is why embodied cognition is an interesting model, where the mind is no longer this abstract processor with no connection to the external world and...

Perhaps because we are able to articulate it, but surely it is not that easy. All things have consciousness or a mental element present and – like the...

As I said, oil is far more than mere economics, it is international politics and the source of political power. Add capitalism to the algorithm; McDon...

Precisely, hence why I said that it is a network of perceptual experiences that we are unable to identify and we attempt to make sense of these feelin...

Would you say the same of God? Satan is an antithetical representation of good and though religious, functions as a symbol of evil and therefore is wo...

The unfortunate problem here is that oil extraction and consumption is primarily required for military use and domination of sources and production is...

Well, clearly not. Aktion T4 exemplifies why, nothwithstanding the general abuse that continues with ableism such as forced sterlisations of women. It...

Thanks for that, I will look that up to read. I would also like to add Mikhail Bulgakov' The Master and Margarita, a framed narrative concerning bibli...
