You have to give more than that to get.Gary Childress wrote: ↑Sat Jul 06, 2019 5:11 pmWhat "sciencephiles" are denying "scientific sexing"? And what is "scientific sexing"?
Beliefs are generated in our brains. Not being “all born equal” our beliefs will vary. I am not aware of much similarity between Health Scientists and Buddhists but rather the opposite: science looks for facts, Buddhists seek beliefs. A railway between cities will be for the very purpose of getting from one to the other rather than for leisurely sightseeing. Saving time, speed will be the criterion, apart from costs.Walker wrote: ↑Sat Jul 06, 2019 3:37 pm Not all beliefs are created equal. For some, belief is belief in what should be. For others, belief is in what is. Health scientists and Buddhists look to evidence-based causation to determine what is, as opposed to some random belief in a fantasy of what should be, e.g., high-speed rail connecting San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Propose your own answers first.
From each according to his ability, to each according to his need. Can you honestly say that not knowing measures up to your ability to think, comrade?Gary Childress wrote: ↑Sun Jul 07, 2019 9:42 am

“I don’t know can you please tell me,” ain’t much of a question, Gary. Not for adults.Gary Childress wrote: ↑Sun Jul 07, 2019 10:19 amNot sure why you can't answer some simple questions concerning your views. Are they that vulnerable?
Everyone has to start somewhere, even adults.

As far as what happened at that library, I agree, it sounds pretty messed up. I don't know about "demonic" but definitely vulgar.
As far as handing out condoms and stuff to teens, when I was going to college back in the 80s one of the themes/concerns among intellectuals was overcoming sexual repression in society. It was supposedly an unhealthy thing. However, I'm not sure if what happened in that library is exactly what they had in mind.Walker wrote: ↑Sun Jul 07, 2019 11:58 amIt ain't the first time for Seattle.

Socrates didn't have information. He says in The Apology he knew nothing of great importance and so went around Athens trying to determine who had answers to the important questions, which he found out no one did. And since the Oracle at Delphi had said he was the wisest man in all of Athens, he concluded it must be because he knew what he did not know where as others pretended to know things they did not.
