Young John Doe7, I have done TM until it came out my ears. I think my first course in it was over 30 years ago.

Been there, done that, still sometimes do it.

What is TM?

What the chances of a new theistic religion like or similar to Islam or Christianity - with an immutable doctrine [containing loads of evil elements] from a supposedly real god delivered to a messenger - be able to emerge in our modern era ? 2000 and 1500 years ago before the enlightenment age ther...

One of my thesis is this; 1. DNA/RNA wise ALL humans inherently has the potential to commit evil and violent acts. 2. A percentile [20% conservatively] are unfortunately born with an active evil tendency. 3. Those with an active evil tendency are easily triggered to commit evil when exposed to evil...

True about the short term futility of reason amongst the unreasonable. I personally hold on to reason because the alternative is unpleasant. Being uneducated, I spent much of my life being unreasonable, too often unthinkingly using emotion and strategy rather than logic to influence events. It's be...

I know this is a basic question! But why our we here, most people go through there lives not questioning the reason why? People like us have ideas, views an urge to understand what this is all about? Do you think we are ever going to find the answer? Is why really the rational choice given who, wha...

Mirror function thread two, old version but approximate of current model with 95 percent. Mirror function in maths is f(x) = -x The name is still being determined.

Mirror function thread two, old version but approximate of current model with 95 percent. Flux and form are inseperable, They are... This is the physics distinction bet...

I've read your post. It's a rationalisation for your bias. Remember the is-ought gap? There is no way to get to "we should reduce religion" ;) And yet you have arrived there. You never really left... You can guess and say what you like, that is only your views but you are missing on my intended vie...

Why are we here? Because mommy and daddy love each other and <censored content>. 9 months later we arrive. Funny man are yer? Listen lad, don't be trying to make me feel like a gobshite!
