    Are most people critical of New Age?

    I concur, and I also believe that none of this will really ever be completely mainstream due the fact that most of the new age modalities are oriented to practices or training in spirituality that lie outside the norm. The norm is: adhere to some dogma and do that, or decide arbitrarily it's all...

    Are most people critical of New Age?

    I understand the skepticism (though scepticism seems to have something to do with blood infections :) ). But, I'll put it simply: There are a lot of people who make money on being skeptics, and many of their opinions would be debunked by even a basic personal investigation of a subject matter...

    Religious Enslavement

    I mean the best argument to that is simply that since we have the freedom to understand the cosmology of the universe in our own subjective way then there must be more than one way to skin the cat. Any way pursued earnestly will probably lead to the same place, but people get caught up on names...

    Religious Enslavement

    You can have religion and spirituality without this. My current position on these things is simple: Some people need this, I need that, and it's OK. =D It depends on religion, but some of the more strict religions think that anyone that doesn't embrace them burns in hell or something -- that...

    Median Income Down $6500 If Biden Wins

    I sort of disagree with but, I should quantify why.... If we're going to the numbers due to the way inflation works + average salary raises. (rounding a bit here for simplicity) in 10 years time: Salaries will raise 20%, so the persons working will go from 50kish median to 70k median. (Around...

    Democracy going down

    I could agree with this, but ultimately the electorate still lies with the people. I mean look at Trump's rise to the Presidency for evidence. The media hates him and so do all the rich people, even though he's done nothing but good for everyone on the money front. Personally, I find it...

    Democracy going down

    I dunno, I think it's fair in the sense that those who are listened to the most have the most skin in the game. (aka something to lose) But, that's every country TBH it's not a US specific issue. And, I realize the Mills make some valid points, but I also realize it takes time for people to...

    Well, China lies about it's numbers... They're #1 on population. India has been exceedingly lucky or they're lying too... They're #2 on population. We're #3, so of course we're #1 on the list because we're the only one reporting anything. But... that isn't the number that matters... The...

    Here we go with the socialist utopias, lol. Let's face it... America isn't for everyone, you like having the freedom to do what you want or you don't. Every country that is on that list blows the USA away on how much they suck for taxes, upward mobility, and opportunity. For example, want a...

    Democracy going down

    Just blind leading the blind as always. They want impossible things to impossible ends. Any lasting system improves via iterations not radical shifts. Radical shifts just create a new system with new problems, probably worse than the one you already spent 200+ years streamlining. The electoral...

    Does It Matter If God Exists?

    It's all presumption as to whether God cares what you've done in your life or not anyway. No one has asked him, so no one knows, lol. Anyway, my take is whatever created the universe did it like bacteria do... If there is one thing, and you want to make many there is only one way to go. Divide...

    Some Hope For Better Justice

    Me either, besides a certain group of the population are sociopath or psychopath and they'd obvious be able to game the system. For normal cases, yes, the AI could probably do this work. More likely though, what you will have is an AI reporting to an actual judge for evaluation and approval of...

    Yes, they're obviously wrong too. Besides, it's not just that you're in poverty but that you get the support when you are there. We're pretty decent with that. Some states are very terrible with this (like CA) and it does skew the numbers a bit. Kinda. But, TBH, the initial deaths were a...

    Democracy going down

    I'm just saying this is the short-sighted nature of this line of thinking. And, you're facetious here... Why link what you don't support? I find it more likely you're looking for sympathy along ideological lines than conflict. The idea that a small group of whiners is going to make any...

    Don't forget also the most freedom, but generally ranked 10 or above on any criteria that matters... Per capita income, etc... also ranked about 198th in poverty... But, it's such an awful place, lol. (That's to say there are 197 places out of 208 that are worse to live in regard to your own...

    Democracy going down

    That's good, because there is no democracy in this country. (USA) Only a constitutional republic! So, it's finally time that they understood they believe in something that doesn't exist and move on, lol. And, if you think this country will become one you're nuts... The federal govt functions...

    Not recognizing the divine

    When that time comes, it'll be automatic. Nothing to worry about, meanwhile worry about your own wheelhouse. Well, that's what I try to do at least. Hopefully, someone will come around to the idea and I'll have someone to fill up with my experiences so they can carry on that work. If not, I'll...

    Trump Supporters: Where do you draw the line?

    Good, I wouldn't trust anyone including yourself, lol. Anyway, my point was physics doesn't care what the Mayo clinic says, lol. You can try it or trust whoever you want, it doesn't hurt me. I'm just trying to help.... I'm sure it helps an immeasurably small bit. I mean it'd catch mucous or...

    Where has all the wealth gone?

    China and the people who are supposedly elected to look out for you who are taking their money.
