And of course, it is not a coincidence, that the ideal/objective of 'Peace' equates and synthesizes with ideals/objectivity of Monism, Universalism, Fatalism, Determinism, Nihilism, and the like. Because they all share in common an ideal of reducing Strife/Stress/Anxiety/Trauma, which are essential ...

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 ...

Alright Wizzz I got a time lapsed photo of the stairs for u. The gentleman expressed no concern about the steps coming out into the yard so i went with the original plan. Btw the dude's name is Devon, so technically I built a stairway to devon , right? 1000001762.jpg Not a fan of its placement, blo...

Why "shouldn't" eternal peace exist? What's ever wrong with peace? Is there such a thing as too peaceful or not enough strife? Pretty much this: Becuz in perfect peaceful circumstances there can be no improvement... becuz there is no conflict, nothing struggling. Question is, is improveme...

There are many specific reasons and causes why feeding heavily r-sexually selected people, does not work, does not produce the desired outcome. But that's for another time, perhaps, for those who are more *ehem* open-minded . "r-sexually"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R/K_selection_theory

Objectively speaking, I want all to think and act as they will, if....IF they do not demand of me to bear the consequences of their choices. These buffoons know their judgements are bad, so they demand the collectivization of consequences. They expect society to absorb the consequences so that they...

I'll also provide an example: African food charities in the 1990s...anybody remember those? Western Christians, mostly Evangelicals, created many US 'Charity' networks to feed Africans. These "selfless" Evangelicals took a significant cut of the money for themselves, by the way....but skip...

In an alternate thread you said the following to me... Here's how I see it, seeds... You rubbed the Genie's lamp. When confronted by the Jhinn, You asked for World Peace. You received 4 years of it, under Donald J. Trump. It was then, in that moment, that you realized that your Wish was not worth t...

When most people and wannabe-thinkers use 'Objectivity' in the West, they mean it in the Secular-Abrahamic sense: the Objective is a universal, uniform, human morality. They want all humans to act and behave in a specific way. They believe, under Abrahamic premises, that if humans acted in such a un...

No, it was merely intended to point out that the sooner you and AJ realize that compared to the true intelligence presiding over this universe, we humans are nothing more than the metaphorical equivalent of amoebas suspended in a drop of water,... Well, I haven't dropped acid, so you can lord that ...

Huh? There have been Empires that were not Monotheistic (Rome for the first 600 years, Egypt, Babylon and more). There have also been Empires with diverse religions (the Mongols, who had the largest empire of all time and adopted a variety of religions from their conquests). Of course all of these ...

It has been for me a strange but also a curious conflict. All of my personal background, my university friends and friends growing up, and myself, were of that Left-Progressive orientation.

Be careful, you're straining both digits of your IQ Hairball with your profound philosophical insights and wisdom here.

The forum can hardly contain it.
