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...

Re: The Dilemma of Americans
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...

Re: What is tolerance?
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?
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. I apologize for disappointing. Gary, I did not introduce the topic of Gandhi. You introduced the topic of Gandhi. That your understanding and interest in your...

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...

Re: Sex and gender
Really?
The cause seems to be, attempting to match form to a subjective, conceptual abstraction of what that form should be. Much like AI, the former contradicting the latter.

Re: Decadence and "Liberal Rot"
Yes cultural decadence happens when the breakes are placed on social change and social progress. When conservatives want to turn abck the clock to the "good old days", the result is stagnation and ossification of ideas. When people think they can "make american great again", wha...

Re: What is tolerance?
Ghandi was also very much a pacifist. Gandhi is also considered to be one the greatest politicians in history. As such, he must have figured that passive resistance used for the purpose of civil disobedience, which he studied from the writings of the American, Thoreau, would have the greatest effec...
