Great performance!

(continued) You may ask, what is knowledge? (Feel free to tweak). Knowledge is a type of understanding that recognizes the ordering of the universe, a recognition (not creation) most often occurring in human-bite-sized portions relevant within a closed system such as the ripe fruit of earth, teeming...

How can something eternal have a beginning and since when, except in medieval times, has Christian belief ever made sense. It makes sense to those who speak religion lingo, in the same way that dark matter, which has never had a relationship with any of the five senses, makes sense to those who spe...

How can something eternal have a beginning ... Anything that recurs, first must occur. - The first occurance of something is the creation of that something, not the recurrance of that something. - After the occurance happens the first time, then for reality to correlate with the concept of eternal,...

The knowledge of evil is good because with that knowledge then one knows that one is serving the wiley evil that so cleverly disguised itself as good. So, if you store the text containing the knowledge on a computer, not only will the text itself be "good", but now the computer is also &q...

Eternal Recurrence is simply an idea we invented. In Nietzsche's version, it was used mostly as a challenge in how much do you love your life if you were informed that it will repeat forever. Recurrence implies a beginning, so eternal recurrance implies a beginning but no ending, which explains the...

Really?

What makes you think so?

In the overview, it's always the best of times and the worst of times, and folks make it so. (The details of rational proof were lost in the first transmission attempt, but that's the gist.)

The knowledge of evil is good because with that knowledge then one knows that one is serving the wiley evil that so cleverly disguised itself as good. To serve is to act. If one acts contrary to what one knows to be good or evil, then one is a decepticon in the service of either evil or good, which...

It never needed to recur since it never changed and therefore remained the same!

Whatever happened, had to have happened.
A wheel must turn before returning.
The past changes in the present.

Go figure!

Question : How Can We Achieve World Peace? Answer : We must evolve. However, We means everyone, so that's a tall order. Could it happen? * The nature of the world now, without world peace, is that life consumes life in order to utilize energy that originated in the sun. Even eating plants is consum...

For us Americans, we seem to be faced with an epic decision of whether or not to vote for either Biden and remain the largest exporter of the means to death and destruction known to history (Also known as the "arsenal of democracy') and possibly end up knee deep in a blood bath of internationa...

Yikes. So that's the view from Gary's world. Who or what do you imagine a good president to be?

It created worse famines, worse warfare, and worse chaos. Africans are severely over-populated in Africa now, as a result. Seems like such conditions would result in fewer Africans. Food-aid, the usual warfare, and everyday chaos resulted in more Africans. The same situation played out in Gaza. As ...
