A lie. I suppose you mean to say Trump was "totally exonerated"?

A lie. Where was it proven false?

A lie. "The illegal hold happened in August when Duffey was told by DOD that they wouldn't be able to spend funding by the end of the year if the hold...

Yes. It looks like Republicans are just going for it: Constructing then goose-stepping to an alternate reality buttressed by Fox News and Facebook. Th...

:down:

Fun with anonymity.

... Like the bulk of your assertions in this thread.

What evidence do you have to ground this suspicion?

Thanks for all of that. I wonder if you have a link to the pdf you mentioned. If not, I'll have to get myself some Braver. Looks like my cup of tea.

:fire: :scream: :fire: I absolutely agree with this. God is a strange word. In some important sense, all god-notions are straw gods. Like Feynman said...

Awesome, since that's not what I'm asking you to explain. Closing this chapter of Diversiology 101.

Yet another diversion. If it was "more effective" than X, it must have been to some degree effective. If it was to some degree effective, it had, to s...

I wonder if you'd be willing to offer a reference or exposition.

Sweet, I'll check it out. I'll download a subtitled version... :)

Another post, another attempted diversion and distraction. Again: If, as you say, it wasn't a token gesture, what was the effect - what constitutes (a...

Huh? Effective how? What was the effect?

Obviously a token gesture.

Wow, check your gullibometer. Let me translate your assertion: Trump always lies about freedom and fairness and justice in his speeches. You know, I h...

In Nausea I see the intimate link between mystic union and schizophrenia. Joseph Campbell writes: "The schizophrenic is drowning in the same waters in...

That's pretty.

Absolutely.

This is the thrust of a book I hope to put together before I'm cozy in my coffin. Instead of "magic," I like to say "mystique." Mystique and Nothingne...

Sure. It's a cultural catastrophe. No argument against the existence of god can tarnish the mystic's insight and moment of ecstasy. Philosophy is impo...

I'm not sure there's anything like a permanent escape from (let's say) "everydayness." After all, as they say, samsara is nirvana. Meditative practice...

It's worth posting: Genie (Arthur Rimbaud) He is affection and the present moment because he has thrown open the house to the snow foam of winter and ...

I think you need to be consistent with your qualifications. Is Whalon saying "god does not exist"? If he is, he needs to qualify his assertion. That's...

I'm a huge fan. :blush:

You're fudging your words. The first is qualified by "phenomenally." The second isn't.

And "7" - suppose I accept that it has no parts - doesn't exist?

I suppose that's arguable. It wouldn't be so difficult to argue that seven is composed of exactly seven parts.

When god is apprehended or grokked in a paradoxical light - language fails us. One wants to deploy a paradoxical phraseology. With so many logicians s...

Thanks. I bumped into Eckhart by way of Derrida. I forget the name of the book.

I'm having trouble thinking of some X "that is not composed of parts." I assume you consider yourself capable of such a thought. Describe this thought...

:fire: :halo: :fire:

True solipsism is schizophrenic. See Louis A. Sass's "Madness and Modernism." Brilliant book comparing schizophrenic experience with certain elements ...

Solipsism will always be there for us. Unfortunately, as a lifestyle - barring schizopotent determination - it's unsustainable. As distinct from notio...

I've had the same thought. I hope it's just a knee-jerk alarmism.

I get all that. I started this thread on a whim. The OP videos juxtaposed Greta's impassioned speech with images of extravagant pollution. As if to sa...

There's so many lies and contortions of fact on both sides. The more information I have, the less dizzy I feel.

Eh. Anyway, climate deniers of all stripes are a dime a dozen.

Okay. I was interested to know if there was evidence of lib-nut foul play.

Providing evidence to support an assertion - that's a game to you?

I asked you what evidence you can provide that Greta is being used. Your response suggests there's no evidence you can provide.

Counter-evidence. https://www.facebook.com/gretathunbergsweden/posts/recently-ive-seen-many-rumors-circulating-about-me-and-enormous-amounts-of-hate-/...

What evidence is there that Greta is being used?

Take a closer look at the sources I provided. They are a growing phenomenon in light of sea-level rise.

I don't believe you. https://www.metabolic.nl/news/dutch-floating-neighborhood-rises-to-the-challenge-of-climate-change/ https://psmag.com/environment...

Maybe ask these people first: "Dutch turn to floating homes to confront rising sea levels" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EQrGHCn828

So a climate denier. Good. End of discussion. No one in your little bubble.
