you are an absolute idiot if you want to continue to believe that there is such a thing as 'our universe' and/ or 'other universes'. You may want to reconsider that statement, since there is nothing in all the laws of physics nor anything in logic that would preempt a multiverse from existing. In f...

The projection comes from those who negate its reality. No one could, or should, negate the projections of those who are drawn to Trump. But I think you negate the fact that •Trump• must be seen as a social and national phenomenon. He is just a man, and a strange one indeed, and yet he charged onto...

The questions remains, what have we learned? I’ll bite. ::: clears throat ::: Answer : The startling degree to which our projections form and mold what we see and the interpretations that we make — and all while remaining unconscious of it. Hardly, when it's projected directly from the horse's mout...

The standard rhetorical weapon “You are a Nazi!” has had its force drained out of it, I think. It has been useful for a long long time but I have a feeling its usefulness has been used up. Overplayed. Absolutely! We now need something worse to call each other to have a valid philosophic debate.

it was reported on the news today that OJ Simpson died... and it give us pause to wonder about his legacy and ours... Why should this be important and worth pausing for? K: the OJ case brought us to a new understanding of what is justice, that continues to this day... that wealthy, famous people ca...

Why should this be important and worth pausing for?

There is a lot of truth in this statement but its opposite must also be considered because it exists in volumes. Why would so many souls who, no doubt, consider themselves noble with the best of intentions, congregate around a thoroughly classless piece of human crud like Trump who manifests his de...

That's a timeless truth that applies to everyone.

Except when your time is up.

Prove it.

Since I'm not timeless and the universe isn't timeless, the only timeless truth which remains is there is no such thing as a timeless truth. The most timeless truths are generally those which in their default state negate themselves, only seeming timeless in their longevity. "All I know for su...

Nobility transcends Class. There are Noble souls who are poor, who are middle class, who are rich. Money makes little difference, if any.

Wednesday, Dubious! Mark Your Calendar!

Gobbledygook. (either that or my brain has got too much mucous from my nose). :wink: ..could be the latter, my cognition is shit since I fell off of a wagon.

..nonsensical, typical poor English from a spawn of England. 8) Serious question! Is it fair to say that most isms in philosophy amount to nothing more than snotisms ? Can snot eventually transform all these superfluous isms into a type of philosophical emergence, leading to a final understanding i...
