Re: Deleted 500
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...

Re: What is tolerance?
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.)

Re: Is the knowledge of good and evil, good or evil?
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...

Re: How Can We Achieve World Peace?
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...

Re: The Dilemma of Americans
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?

Re: Objective/Subjective
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 ...

Re: What is tolerance?
That's a good question that I don't know the answer to. No one knows. The purpose of the question is to rationally infer and show your work. In truth, almost all of the appeal to "justice" upon which so much relies today is parasitic on Lockean Protestant morality. Try it in Syria, or Cub...

Sorry, can't resist (i.e., must). While contemplating this topic, I realize that I've always tolerated this song, because of the singer. Lots of folks can sing but it's the distinctive voice that gets remembered in the hit parade, once again proof that in life it's the singer and not the song. For e...

Re: What is tolerance?
Ghandi was also very much a pacifist. Because he was a great politician, do you think he would have used the same tactics of passive resistance if trying to separate from a culture untouched by the Age of Enlightenment, for instance, a culture intolerant of other religions? That's a good question t...
