But they do work today, not everybody that can work, and obviously not, but you do n`t seem to realize just how successful our present system actually is. We`ve arrived with it through a natural progression, and hence it is already on the optimal path for longer term even greater success. We are dea...

This would require a lot of thinking about. Do we agree, that society with this pretext equals overall weight of public opinion? So you are basically posing the question as to whether there are circumstances under which society should be considered in the wrong/wrong, and the individual, whom ever h...

"a money based system" That's right, and thank god for it. Money is a reservoir of value, a practical convenience, divorced from personality, philosophy, ideology, and prejudice. If you have it (along with native talent and drive) you are considerably more 'free' than if you don't. Folks ...

Ok, as usual that is my English problem: 1) We need at least two options for a decision 2) We can be conscious of one option at any given time 3) Therefore conscious decision is impossible In my view it makes no odds to whether a decision is being made or not just because one possible action is bei...

It is the sum total influence on one of everybody. One example: Parents abuse you, and it becomes suicide or class A drugs. Your an addict without a job, so you steal for your next fix, you steal only because you are still human. You get up when it`s already too late, you are behind bars where the p...

Society knocking him back down each and every time he tries to stand up.

The ideology broadest of mind.

1) We need at least two choices for a decision 2) We can be conscious of one choice at any given time 3) Therefore conscious decision is impossible Your premise 1 is illogical. You need two options and one choice for a decision. Ok, as usual that is my English problem: 1) We need at least two optio...

Perhaps by regularly beating him to a pulp? I had the police in my home today in order that three of us together could over power and evict my then lodger`s (male) so called girlfriend. She is incredibly strong for a girl, and that`s even before she mixed alcohol with cocaine, Yes, sure, I have got...

Technically not possible, true, then only if you are inspecting the proposition with a fine comb, but for all reasonable tense and purposes we do indeed make decisions, most certainly they are conscious. Everything is made up of components, not only ourselves, and of course any action/non action we ...

:lol: :lol: :lol: A lot of them talk about Jesus too (you'd think they'd be anxious to go be with him rather than barely clinging to life for years the way they do). One was telling me about the delicious menu of food that would be served at their banquet with God when they get to Heaven. Turkey, r...

The only irony is that whatever I say or do I`m wrong, mob rules. It`s not me that exercises the prejudice, every single which way, and I`m not complaining whilst I`m so called judged, so neither should those holding the prejudice be when tables are turned, and it is my turn to judge them. The victi...

You DO seem surrounded by drama and toxicity. As you continue to show with your ramblings, your environment doesn't seem very healthy/clear -- it's no wonder that people are freaking out and jumping out of windows. People who are not intoxicated with your reality like you are, can see how whacked o...

Whilst a decision cannot be made based around that instant of action, we can undergo modification of action as consequence to circumstance just a split second before.

Not really!!
