Becoming more self sufficient is totally doable. Completely self sufficient is next to impossible. By example: I have built an off grid cabin. Solar p...
I haven't known many people who are willing to work hard to get what they want; not physically and not mentally. I have known a great many that want t...
Nice idea, but not actually possible, unless one operates as a parasite. It takes a little flexibility of the term "self-sufficient", but if one consi...
I am not sure why one would protest "work". I understand the concept of not enjoying one's work, however the idea of not being required to work in som...
No idea. Again, depends on what experience you would be looking for, although in theory...why not? you would be the sea everything else swims in, or t...
You chose the return body during the in between state. Live, experience, die. Process, chose the next form and time, etc, begin the next round, repeat...
You are not in it when you chose. You chose prior to it's creation. Kind of like custom ordering a car, only with more say as to how long it lasts. "I...
You are, because you chose to be. You are conscious because your mind, and that which you consider to be you, needs you to be in order for you to exis...
I suggest that a democracy, as I understand it (voters, elected officials that represent said voters, etc) will always result in the lowest denominato...
I suggest the reverse is more accurate. The mind is the manifestation of spirit through soul into consciousness and thereby becomes a mind. Without sp...
Interesting, as Aristotle form/substance also filters down to prime matter; an undifferentiated potential matter capable of taking on any and all form...
To get back to the OP, what is your stance exactly? I get that you are not supportive of mine, but I cannot recall your position, unless it is simply ...
If that is how you chose to see it. Sad for you, but there it is. Clearly you need to be externally validated as special in order to maintain your wor...
No. I do not know Latin. I do know language suffers through translation and interpretation. Most entertaining example I can think of: The movie title ...
Latin translated to support Christian perspectives. Seriously, how is this a question? ALL translations are limited, and directed, by the lens of the ...
Everything is made up of energy. Form is different, qualities are different, etc. But cut through all of the aesthetics...just energy. Also, we are li...
...any more than anything else. Yes, that is correct. If one cannot determine an appropriate course of action for one's life and motivations, simply b...
Some of us are working on it, but publishing anything too early is career suicide. Still, you are considering things through quantum mechanics, as am ...
Canada. I used to vote. My friends used to vote. Most don't now, for the reasons I listed. No body listens to our letters, might as well burn them, th...
I am saying that all is made up of the same fundamental stuff; differentiated packaging only. For some reason this upsets you, so you have attempted, ...
My philosophy is universally applicable, attributing value in a truly equal fashion. It is unfortunate that people react so poorly when confronted by ...
In truth there is nothing special about life. Seriously, it is all around us and we snuff it out without regard. We only object when we are the ones b...
I think that the overwhelming push to vaccinate, and the constant sales pitch for it, is working against the placebo effect and supporting an increase...
I will be repackaged as a lifeless corpse eventually, no worries there. I am enjoying this run as it is now, when it shifts to something else, I will ...
Really? I have never noticed that. How is that accomplished in your country exactly? Here we can't do anything until the next election, and then we ha...
Sure. Doesn't mean I can communicate with them, or visa versa, yet. But conscious? Hell yeah. However, rocks likely have a different value system than...
Placebo effect will increase the efficacy of the vaccine by about 30%, the usual rate of improvement associated with the placebo effect with medicatio...
I work psychiatry currently. I can not speak to the practice of psychiatry in your country, nor will I offer medical advise of any kind regarding spec...
I admit, the lawn-shitting video would go viral, which is sad commentary on our time, but you prove the point: the video, and resulting money, would d...
I want my kids to surpass me, in every respect. Learn everything I know, go forth, learn more and do more. Then come back for coffee and explain where...
Determine the actual issue at hand, and discuss that. Remove anyone from the conversation that tries to lead the discussion away from the main issue. ...
I think a more accurate question is: Does democracy, as it stands, whose results are imposed by the ignorant, who are in turn influenced by whoever ye...
Yes, actually. As is everything else. The "stuff" is merely differentiated, but fundamentally remains the same "stuff". A rock, space, time (arguably,...
Having been an employer, and currently an employee, I believe the current method of compensation to be the main crux of the work week with reduction p...
Sure, but A) they had no idea what it was, and B) no idea of how to stop it, also, as it was over 100 years ago, maybe we cut them some slack eh, not ...
Yes, when it closed the borders, it did. However, I ascribe to the same theory as Von icarus, our lame ass vaccination process will result in this ann...
It wasn't a question of side effects, It was the fact that I did not need the vaccine. I did the research; there are no appreciable flaws in the scien...
