That is a funny twist, not sure there is any credibility to it. No experience is second-hand. Experience is always true to the state of one's biology. Again, biology is the measure and the meaning of all things, apparent reality is a biological simulation or a biological readout of the energies of ...

It's slow again. Looks like a lot of users again, 1437 a couple of minutes ago when I looked according to the forum home page.

Are there that many lurkers who aren't posting or is this some kind of denial of service attack?

Okay.

What do you mean by "Okay"?

What I mean by, 'Okay', here is that I accept that after an evaluation that you were then informed that you may have 'feelings if entitlement', and, what the term or phrase 'psychological entitlement' means or refers to here.

OK.

Probably true, if the war in Ukraine doesn't bankrupt us first.

I was told after a psychological evaluation once upon a time that I may have feelings of "entitlement". Psychological entitlement refers to an inflated and pervasive sense of deservingness, self-importance, and exaggerated expectations to receive special goods and treatment without recipr...

you seem to have completely lost or misunderstood here. That's odd. I thought I said exactly why I said what I did. Can you think of another reason I said what I said? I suppose vanity is also a possibility. Why do you think I said what I did? I do not know why you said what you said. The whole poi...

That’s vacuous, Gary. Possibly. Trump is known to be off the cuff and unruly. He could get the world in worse trouble than it is. Still, I'd rather not see a WW3 and unless something miraculous happens--with all the tit for tat, back and forth one upmanship going on--somebody needs to break the cha...

The world would certainly be a very differnet place. America would have had to abandon slavery much sooner. Trade banned 1809, and ownership anywhere in the empire 1834 .(I think I have the dates right). There would either have been no Civil War or it would have started earlier and ended much soone...

Why search for moral objectivity? Because moral objectivity is the best behavior in any situation. It's like knowing the best move in a game. Is that what I want? Or do I secretly just want for my own set of preferences to be the ones that everyone has to live by? I've certainly never witnessed any...

Maybe a ventilator is a solution?

The solution to this gordic knot is supposedly to do wtf you want but with temperance and judge others by that same standard. Since I’m Scandinavian I don’t know what the religious left is but I guess that goes for them too. Did Alexander the Great really "untie" the Gordian Knot? I sugge...
