It’s been awhile since I’ve been here. I hope there continues to be interest as to why the truth of no free will has the potential to bring about major changes in human conduct for the better. This knowledge is so important I hope it’s not ignored because people think this debate is unimportant and ...

For anyone who came here late and didn't see my posting of the first three chapters, here it is again. I don't think I'll be here for very much longer and I wanted people to have this, if they find this thread interesting. http://www.declineandfallofallevil.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Decline-and...

“I love mankind, he said, "but I find to my amazement that the more I love mankind as a whole, the less I love man in particular.” ― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov Peacegirl In order for you to appreciate this great change and for God to perform this miracle, it is absolutely neces...

And you are arguing this "revolution in thought" is socialistic and progressive? You can’t look at this in a vacuum. The economic system presented would work because people would not have to save for a rainy day and trillions of dollars would be available for growth. When war and crime co...

So, I decided to put the notion to the test. I believe beatin' the High Holy Hell outta my 12 year would be most satisfying. Since I just wanna beat the High Holy Hell outta him (not mangle, malform, cripple, retard, or kill him), I did a google search for 'child beating techniques'. The results we...

Socialism and the progressive agenda is clearly falsifiable and doesn't work yet people keep swallowing it hook line and sinker. I wonder why that is? And you are arguing this "revolution in thought" is socialistic and progressive? I don't know the premise of the book but do know that the...

Because it has not been thoroughly investigated.

Or you could post how you would deal with the problem that most people get more satisfaction from power than from altruism. This is not about altruism per se, although it's human nature to want to help others in serious need. Sure, there's some people who don't care about the well-being of anyone e...

Here is my revolutionary knowledge. Everything peacegirl says is wrong. It is a falsifiable principle if it doesn’t work. That's very true, and it is a falsifiable principle. And it's a correct principle if it does work. :wink: Since I am the one who discovered the principle I am telling you it alw...

That's very true, and it is a falsifiable principle. And it's a correct principle if it does work.

But you did make the most important synopsis of all! This book contains unfalsifiable truth. And that's enough. You're a broken record. It is falsifiable. If the principles don't work, then it's falsified. Nuff said! :roll: So why can’t you provide a single example of what you would consider valid ...

The world has always been deterministic and people have always moved towards greater satisfaction. Which is most of the time the satisfaction of having power over others; having superior status/dominating/one-upping others. What's the new discovery? I’m glad I don’t have to get you to see that we h...

I’m glad I don’t have to get you to see that we have always moved in this direction. I can’t start over. No one here seems interested. I will post the link to the first three chapters shortly. The people here have made it nearly impossible to meet their demands for a quick synopsis, which doesn’t d...
