    Young women leaving religion more than young men.

    Eh, I don't know.. the romans, the greeks, the celts, the germans.. they had like goddesses and depictions of of them. And the celts and germans had like... seeresses and warrior woman, I think. That said, I'm sure most of the cultures back then had were generally more brutal in whatever ethical...

    Young women leaving religion more than young men.

    Well let me ask you, how does it play out in Judaism/the Jewish community nowadays? Is it going the same way as with the Christians, (since they are still the majority, I assume the thread is mainly about them), are the woman falling away from religion? If not, why? It would probably a serious...

    Propriety in public service

    I guess I'm having some difficulty understanding the presuppositions in your questions, but maybe it's just me. I think that the word 'propriety,' a word that I don't use that much, seems different in kind than either behavior that is withheld, or behavior that is 'open.' It adds a 3rd dimension...

    Parenting in the US

    I think maybe what you wrote hear is drawing a lot of conclusions in kind of an abstract way, but I think I get what you mean. I don't think it necessarily needs to be like you outline. You seem to imply that there wouldn't be enough to do, without work.. but I really don't know if that's true...

    Parenting in the US

    I think this is an attitude of concession, where it doesn't have to be this way. Many factors in life are like this.. people want to say it's just 'the way it is' for too many things

    Parenting in the US

    I think parenting is probably eased by a limited money supply, where only one parent has to work, and the other can devote a fuller portion of energy to raising the kids. If they print enough money, then each dollar becomes worth less, obviously, so then both the parents have chase after more of...

    Can any here offer a solution to the middle east conflicts between Israel and Hamas/Hezbollah?

    Although the usa probably likes its superpower status, I don't think every problem in the world boils down to something we did. I'd venture to posit that in South America, in order to develop more industry, it looks like it would probably be at the cost of more of the Amazon rainforest, and...

    Do military/war veterans deserve respect?

    Well I think that what I respect with them, is less their relationship to country, than their ability to have reach a supposed peak within the human body, and perhaps mind. An accomplishment of toughness, in a more less objective measure, seems like something they reached, or touched on, in...

    Hyper-empiricism is Grandiosity Personality Disorder

    I don't entirely follow this last bit.. Why would the 'hyper-empiricist' allow for the existence of god?

    Can any here offer a solution to the middle east conflicts between Israel and Hamas/Hezbollah?

    What about the idea of adding even more diversity to the whole area of the middle-east. It is a solution that the left prescribes for america, but I think it only really works if every place on the planet has the same border policy. If any single nation on the planet has borders that are tighter...

    Can any here offer a solution to the middle east conflicts between Israel and Hamas/Hezbollah?

    And yet, in the Western world, we make room for pluralistic religions, cultures, and groups within western nations, allow for a lot of immigration, and the ability to cross borders with ease. If this philosophy is the correct way to view how land ought to be settled on, then I can't help but see...

    Who is your spiritual teacher?

    Well the conclusion that I have now come to.. is essentially that all spiritual practices are vessels, that I sort of pour my goals into. They aren't there, in my current and perhaps now solidified view, to directly teach me the goals. I think that I decide the goals, and the spiritual practice...

    Terminally online

    Well I've kind of just been on here reading through posts for the past hour, I think because my energy or motivation to do other things is sapped / and I can't quite get up to go do something else right now. But it's maybe not totally a bad thing, I mean I assume I am sharpening my mental world...

    Would the human race be ready to come in contact with an intelligent alien race?

    Yeah, I mean, it could be argued that religion encompasses the 'public facing' department of the outer space civilizations toward us.. With the idea that they are supposed to gradually move us toward various goals. Don't ask me to comment more about that, it's just that I could kind of see how...

    Having trouble getting hired for any job

    I was told that as well, that I didn't follow up enough. Probably good advice, I guess

    Having trouble getting hired for any job

    In my 20's, I ended up just working through temp agencies, where eventually the employer would hire me once they saw I could work.. The interview process was minimal, it's more like they just send you to places to test you out. However, these types of jobs can be hard, and in my case, I rarely...

    Would the human race be ready to come in contact with an intelligent alien race?

    In a scenario where everything breaks down enough, the aliens might find more willing followers.. I think we can assume however, that it would be ideal if we didn't sink down to that level. There is, I suppose, more novelty and dignity in not having extraterrestrial leaders, in such a fashion. I...

    Childless millennials / Gen Z

    Dang, I can't sleep much today.. (I work 3rd shift). But I slept a lot yesterday anyway. Yeah I come from the american midwest. Out here, the cheaper houses are oftentimes kind of out in the country, but then the commute becomes ungodly. There are also some cheaper houses in the city, but I...

    Childless millennials / Gen Z

    that's not the kinda of the thing I was indicating, no.. that's kinda extreme. I'm just talking about a modest house. Then again, with house prices the way they are now / the way they build modern houses, it does seem like high-grade houses are kind of becoming the only option. Ironically...

    Would the human race be ready to come in contact with an intelligent alien race?

    well I mean.. it's logical as well, I thought. If it doesn't cause fear, maybe it might discourage everybody from being productive on earth, if everyone knew what was possible (since it would feel like we'd never get there). Maybe that would be the real reaction, instead of fear.
