I can't imagine how a sugar-free drink could turn you into a boring robot. Perhaps another cup of tea would spur my imagination. :chin:

I read there are reasons in Michael Pollan’s book on caffeine, though I don’t recall the specific reasons.
July 13, 2022 at 15:58
Think I have one left, the morality one, the longest one. I’m gonna need to be fresh and well caffeinated.

Nice framework, I enjoyed it.

The truth is that I only get a feeling from the song and the story, which is dark, somewhat mysterious, used-up, and ill-fated. I can imagine the writ...

Subsequent to this you say: And this suggests that one or more faith’s are not invented but genuine.

If that’s phalic innuendo I’m seasonably unimpressed.

Remind me what the conclusion is again, if you don't mind.

It's an interesting idea, that a satisfactory world must be unsatisfactory in some way, otherwise it will be unsatisfactory.

Heaven is destined to be boring. That’s the moral of the story. I’m surprised that, to date, I’m one of only two who enjoyed it.

No, that doesn’t appear to be the price. The price seems to be not being over-the-top hostile and bigoted. A very low bar, actually.

Define “details”.

:lol: I don’t need to imagine a world without religion. Only fucking fools can’t imagine such a world though, I would say.

Actually there is a rather strict social hierarchy in Buddhism.
July 03, 2022 at 03:54
Indeed, what could be more natural than a social hierarchy and subjugation of the underclass. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUVPuCuEF-E

I suppose that folks are more apt to be twisted up by it the further down the caste system they’re born into. :confused:

Perhaps if you focus better you can post something actually lived and offering that kind of value.

What a shame. The forum is lesser now.

Commie bastards. She seems to enjoy the contest, and that being the case, no reason to not participate.

Forgive me for utilizing my common sense but wouldn’t that be art for the sake of decoration?
June 26, 2022 at 00:17
Art for art’s sake is not art then? That can’t be right, can it?

The core of it is tribalism, a survival strategy, and though religion may be the most potent expression of this it exists in many forms.
June 25, 2022 at 21:22
I suppose this means that you’re not going to tell me about your little tower now. :sad:
June 23, 2022 at 07:36
Oh, I get it now, if you had anything honest to say your little tower would fall like a card house.
June 22, 2022 at 14:54
You go on a five paragraph diatribe about Towers and now you can’t say anything about the value, or curse, of them? WTF?!
June 22, 2022 at 03:08
Why would I want to do that exactly?
June 21, 2022 at 20:16
Then why bother building a stupid Tower? :lol:
