You can't disect the faults in both sole objectives?

No that wasn't it. This video was post 2002 I think. I emphasized labor over currency. Explaining how basically a Star Trek world could exist.

I don't mean absolute control over anything. Clearly there are billions of people all with consciousness and they may focus their thoughts on many of ...

So multiverse is treating the same 3D plane as many universes that simply can't meet because they are expanding faster than light information can retu...

Well that is a theory some have. Not Sean Carrol as much who seems to think that new universes may only come about to accommodate paradoxes we create....

I assume when you say gender you mean masculinity/femininity versus sex. Personally I am all for sex never being a consideration when hiring people fo...

I have not heard of science changing sex chromosomes but certainly more subtle things have been changed in early stages of a beings life or in the cas...

I don't know what distinction most people make between sex and gender. I assumed most considered them synonymous although a sociologist professor clai...

I don't know what he has studied, but I definitely have heard news stories that our shores have lots of stuff piled up in shipping containers that has...

Yes sex is a physical distinction. Or at least a chromosome distinction. Hermaphroditism is rare and arguably is a defect. The way a person's body unf...

My question is how can a person say they are neither male nor female? Surely there is a very great range of ways of being and behavior as either gende...

Wikipedia was my reference. What figure and from where would you say is more accurate?

As opposed to being called "colored" versus not?

Perhaps an abbreviation refering specifically to the racial groups that are being referred to? Like how LGBTQ lumps a few groups under the same umbrel...

I don't mean famous well known philosophers. Just overall gender disparity among professional philosophers.

I don't specifically mean feminist female philosophers. Just in general. Would it be said there are maybe 20% or less of all philosophers are female?

I am really asking just how significant the results of any experiment need to be above chance before it is meaningful?

Well parapsychology I meant to mean the study of individual abilities beyond the obvious 5 sense while miracles are unexpected and unlikely events tha...

I realize that one will outlive the other, but what is romance in a life without limits? When we ourselves are the cosmic forces we once compared ours...

I would say half the females I work with help me through the day just by being present even though I don't necessarily fancy them in a romantic way. T...

Sounds about right. Nothing is ideal after 25.

Perhaps. But these big questions interest me. If I could be sure we exist after death and things actually improve than I wouldn't concern myself as mu...

For context I am 40 now and after 35 started getting regular headaches and a retina disease. I jog half the days of the week and used to go to the gym...

I am assuming money isn't changing hands, and ego isn't being rubbed.

So religions feel secularism is taking from their authority over people? I know from chapter 4 of "Bowling alone" it discusses how churches primarily ...

Already sent it to one. Didn't get much back.

I have read that many people claiming to be psychic/mediums have shown to have a non-pathological degree of DID or maybe even some schizophrenia. I wa...

I mean having no sense of self and no perception of a world around oneself.

I say creativity must have an emotional aspect because when we try to think logically and feel mental exhaustion from using same conformed parts of br...

What initiates a creative thought or stream of thinking? It is my understanding that creativity decreases with age so I assume it is an emotional func...

Afterlife might just be dogma, but many are convinced we go on. I am 40 and have already forgot most of my 20s but am sure it was better. I certainly ...

So optimism must be broad and non descript? Is that the take away?

Lol.

Now this goes off into a different area, but a psychic medium told me that it is only possible to reach spiritual beings when using the creative mind....

Can we say for sure that anything exists that doesn't serve some purpose?

When designing an experiment in science I assume we might use creativity to find new ways to get to the facts. Otherwise we might be limited to very d...

Do we need iphones to survive?

My interest in the afterlife is not driven by betterment so much as breaking even. In this physical life our health declines. I certainly never had he...

I don't see how optimism about the afterlife could be pessimistic because there is no precedent of disappointment since we presumably only die once.

So it isn't optimistic to consider the only 2 possibilities that one can fathom and finding something positive about either? There must be only one po...

I don't know how to define optimistic thinking. Is it mostly gray area and optimistic and pessimistic thinking are pretty absolute in their requiremen...

And for the record I don't drink at all. lol.

Assuming what I said were the only possible outcomes is it optimistic the way I stated it?

What could prompt the development of new cities? Surely every city has a breaking point where it is too costly to live there, and there isn't enough s...

In the future won't more rural areas inevitably become more densely packed and require more efficient infrastructures?

What if someone provided a link to research from a very good research university that followed very rigorous protocols? Can their evidence be given po...

I recognize that the US is a republic. But as far as any labels including conservative or liberal which can be given a negative connotation are concer...

immoral how? It isn't honesty?

Interesting.

I think a soul contract is a list of things we hope to add to our existence in each new incarnation, but of course we don't remember prior lives and t...
