So, does anyone else relate to the concept of superposition?  The mental layering, perichoresis of paradoxes?

Of course,  the brain is a self-referential organ that only knows about its environment by second-hand data.

This type of triangular associative thinking is what Anil Seth calls “controlled hallucination”.  I have posted this before, bu…[Read more]

@write4u part of humanism is science and no I did not say that which you quoted as me saying. Mikeyohe said it.

Auchhh, I am so sorry for not realizing you were quoting that. I must admit that puzzled me. Thanks for the correction!

I hope that my missive about “secular morals” was sound reasoning?

I’m stretching a bit, but not by much because they did try to enslave Native Americans too.

Interestingly the California Missions along the El Camino Real used Native Indians as slaves, although they were treated decently. Many stayed voluntarily for several generations and were known as “Mission Indians”. I know this because my wife’s great g…[Read more]

Mriana said: Write4U, Not sure we are on the same line of thought here. Do not understand Secular moral laws. Was talking about History’s Rules of Laws. And history has shown that those laws are only as good as the morals of the people using those laws.

I think we are very much on the same page. This is how I see secular morality.

So, let’s narrow the focus. I hear you saying that we should take all the Confederate statues and move them into museums, which might mean building some more museum space.

How about Civil War museums that provide a clear contrast between the North and the South.  These can be used to teach basic history as well as advanced philosophy and a true re…[Read more]

Welcome.

Human imagination is a double-edged sword.

We can imagine and create the most beautiful works of Science,  Art, Literature, Architecture, and Philosophy. OTOH, we can also immerse ourselves in utter fantasy and hallucinatory creations of nightmarish proportions.

The trick is to discover where Imagination ends and Hallucination…[Read more]

You don’t do conversations. You dabble in pointless lectures or default to your utube library

You don’t do conversations, period. ……………………..

I think it’s a terrible idea to destroy statues.

Remove them from positions of admiration, but build memorials, museums that can become a record of history, where these memorials can be placed in proper historical context and be a source of knowledge of the past.

How many times have we commiserated about the destruction of great artworks,…[Read more]

Recorded slavery since Roman times.

This is what should be taught in schools.

This month marks 400 years since enslaved Africans were first brought to what is now the United States of America. Slavery was officially abolished in the US in 1865, but historians say the legacy of slavery cannot be untangled from its economic impact.
On a hot August day, 25 people are gathered around…

They as in govt. Quite a silly line you are pursuing.

No because the govt hasn’t purchased enough doses  to give to the population after essential workers and those most at risk were vaccinalated. Stocks to arrive in October.

Where do you live?  You can walk into any pharmacy and get a free shot, sometimes of choice.

You walked into that one , didn’t you?

No, why don’t you walk into a pharmacy and g…[Read more]

German is my mothertounge, and enghlish I did learn recently on my own, mainly verbal/acustic. That’s why I have to learn even more about the fine tuining of english grammar in writing. – From now on I’ll use a translation-tool in addition. In order to reduce further such mistakes.

Check out Grammarly as a writing assistant. It’s free and very…[Read more]

Not yet. Relevance?

Didn’t think so. If you cannot understand the relevance after one and a half years of a worldwide viral pandemic, it is of no use explaining it to you.

Aawww…….

DJ question, are you vaccinated against covid?

I ask any and everyone to look at this and see where the problem lies.

Yes, you asked for it and I pointed it out to you.  Don’t complain now.  I look forward to your explanation of where you believe I went wrong in this.

I believe that in Tibet this phenomenon is called a “Tulpa”.

Tulpa is a concept in mysticism and the paranormal of a being or object which is created through spiritual or mental powers.[1] It was adapted by 20th-century theosophists from Tibetan sprul-pa (Tibetan: སྤྲུལ་པ་, Wylie: sprulpa) which means “emanation” or “manifestation.”[2]

You won’t get this news out from the like of Cc and write4u

What on earth are you talking about? I won’t speak for CC, but I completely agree with that podcast. If this person is opposed to the main platform of the Democratic party, she should be challenged.

What news is it that I am withholding from the readers?  Am I misinforming anyone?  Wha…[Read more]
