Consciousness remains confounding The "brain in a vat" is a philosophical thought experiment often used to explore questions about the nature of reality, perception, and knowledge.... ...Just imagine a brain in a vat with no external stimuli. It seems obvious (to me, anyway) that whenever...

It's clear you've carefully analyzed Trump's statements and actions, highlighting inconsistencies and perceived dishonesty. Your attention to detail regarding his interactions with Serge Kovaleski and his remarks about injecting disinfectant underscores your concerns about his credibility. It's und...

Seeds … better than TeeVee, better than YooToob. A multimedia spectacle of TDS. 😎 Did it ever occur to you , AJ, ol' buddy, that you are projecting? Have you never considered the possibility that it is you and the Wiz who are the true victims of TDS? (Man-o-man, arguing with the inhabitants of &quo...

Did you ever consider the possibility that the only reason why Trump didn't stumblebum us into some major military catastrophe somewhere on the globe is because he was too embroiled in his disastrous and incompetent handling of the covid19 epidemic, which probably led to the unnecessary deaths of h...

Great story, rendered with real gusto. Thank you, Dubious. "Gusto" - sounds like a good name for a new energy drink. It reminds me of Trump, cheeseburgers and the effect of the Republican Party on the citizens of the U.S. Yes. And I'm sure that just like the digestive system of the geese ...

Marina in Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya : The geese have cackled but will be still again. First they cackle, then they stop … Oh dear :shock:, you've just triggered my goose PTSD.

When I was a child, little did I realize that the Superman comics I used to read back then -- the ones that featured "Bizarro World" -- were actually giving me a prescient glimpse into the future. Indeed, in what has actually become a real Bizarro World, if it serves the purpose of facili...

...are you seriously asking me why I wouldn't want to reward one of the most deceitful and unethical humans to ever walk the face of the earth with a seat of power and privilege where he (without a doubt) will attempt to pardon himself (and his cronies) of the litany of treasonous and immoral crime...

The only thing that's missing is the golden toilet bowl. If he poops in that, he could readily can it and sell it to his devotees as a limited edition of a purely personal nature; after all, he needs the money to pay for his army of lawyers. Considering all the verbal shit his many devotees have un...

Seeds, if you're so Anti-War, which I presume that's still one of the most important political stances for you...then why would you in anyway be against the Trump Administration which brought relatively more 'peace' to the world than any politician before or after, especially Biden? Did you ever co...

Indeed, if the Trump supporters on this forum want to see how relatively sane people view them, then all they have to do is look at the good ol' boys in the restaurant in that YouTube clip you provided and there they are. Note : I am voting for Trump. . . . I've always enjoyed reading your posts, A...

The Vietnam war was raging at the time of Woodstock, and part of the underlying theme and spirit of Woodstock was to demonstrate (perhaps naively) that peace, love, and universal brotherhood is what humanity should be pursuing, instead of war and killing each other. So, no, Woodstock was not an exa...
