I will go away and not return, like a wave on the seashore. White foam left from the wave, only memories from me.
The sun is the first memory for me, the last will be the sun as well.

Murder is an effective way to solve problems if you don't take into account the moral and ethical side.
There is a person, there is a problem, there is no person, there is no problem.
So I don't think it will be that easy to ban, I mean unofficially.

... We no longer have to say anything about earthquakes, tornadoes, etc. I didn't say anything about it either, but if it has already been said, I wanted to understand where its legs come from. Evil is magma that was lucky or maybe not to erupt, or maybe evil meant the consequences of the eruption,...

I might be a fatalist. There are things I can influence and there are things I can't influence, e.g. death, or when Annushka spills the oil. I try not to waste time on things I can't impress and focus on the things I can. What should a kitten who has just been thrown from a boat do? There are two op...

Yeah, not a bad start. All that remains is to give it the form of a product in order to be able to sell it.

Well, myths are not always 100% fiction. It's just that people tend to "slightly" exaggerate the highlights of a story to emphasize their importance. And over time, the story can become so overgrown with all kinds of details that even its author will no longer recognize it. As a kid at sum...

I do not know. Does it change anything?
I think that I am also stepping out of my conviction, I admit guilt.

Forever, it's a very long time, I'm not capable of thinking in such categories.

Harbal wrote: ↑Tue Jan 09, 2024 11:48 am I don't know what you mean.

Hell, I don't really want to start with the big bang. Do you really, no idea at all? If so, let it stay for now, maybe later in the process.

...Religion persists. Blame the worship gene. It is true that people are more suitable to be classified as "man of faith" and not "man of reason", because the overwhelming majority, if not all, place their faith or conviction above reasonable arguments. However, do you know some...

Religion is politics - there is no place for free-thinking or anarchism. Some may try to encode their vision in a politically correct form.

In order to do or accept in something, it all is tested down with survival, that is, to compliance with objective factors, and only that which passes this test exists. The analogy with projection still remains.

"HAMLET: Why, look you now, how unworthy a thing you make of me! You would play upon me, you would seem to know my stops, you would pluck out the heart of my mystery, you would sound me from my lowest note to the top of my compass, and there is much music, excellent voice, in this little organ...

I would say that morality is objective, or at least has objective reasons. Because the subjective is an objective projection in consciousness, just like a shadow is a 2D projection of a 3D object. And although the shadow contains very little information about the object it projects, it is strongly r...

What if He was a deceiver? Well then that 'he' would not be God, at all, and would, instead, just be what is commonly referred to here as 'the devil', instead. Which again indicates that god is not a person but a position, because the characteristics of a person, unlike the duties of a position, ar...
