    The Novel I

    Professor Susan A. Handelman.

    This inductive strategy is tautological since by setting an arbitrary boundary to reality, the subject makes the boundary necessarily bound reality within itself. This unjustified elevation to necessity of an arbitrary boundary (the cell membrane) forces everything circumscribed within the cell...

    FETI: Found Extra Terrestrial Intelligence.

    . . . I would have said terrestrial extra stupidity. John

    FETI: Found Extra Terrestrial Intelligence.

    . . . Then if any of the ladies are roamin and looking to get lucky look no further. :blush: Btw, Roy Orbison (or some such famous person) once said the thing about luck is it's always wearing dirty work cloths. But he never said the hard worker had to be moral to get lucky. As noted above...

    FETI: Found Extra Terrestrial Intelligence.

    Very true. Unfortunately the Internet is something like a collective brain. If malfeasant memes contaminate the brain, then they get passed on even faster in the Internet. The oracle, John the Revelator, said these demonic trans-biological lords would eventually manufacture a machine (have us...

    FETI: Found Extra Terrestrial Intelligence.

    The crucifixion didn't initially make serious big news. This is that. We could think of it almost like a memetic Stockholm-syndrome whereby even those who suspect their brain is being parasited resist anyone who tries to free them: they've developed an unholy alliance with their captors and...

    FETI: Found Extra Terrestrial Intelligence.

    Secret Chief linked to the article that led to this thread in message #9. The article at the link implies it's only a matter of time before "alien life" is found in the universe. That time has come: Suppose for the sake of the argument that proves what's posited above, humans were able to...

    I like to think I'm one of the few, the proud, who've severed the link. John

    FETI: Found Extra Terrestrial Intelligence.

    There's a fundamental difference between impersonation versus parasitism. True enough, parasitism often employs impersonation as a technique. Who says they're only on earth. Odds are extremely high that the trans-biological life-form parasiting humans is doing the same thing anywhere...

    FETI: Found Extra Terrestrial Intelligence.

    This is a truly thoughtful statement that applies to all of us to one degree or another since once we realize a trans-biological extra-terrestrial intelligent life-form has parasited our brain our only means of limiting its use of our brain is to begin to shut down areas of thought every time we...

    FETI: Found Extra Terrestrial Intelligence.

    Your last statement is a positively lexicographical example of irony since it's only by means of the lack of terrestrial intelligence that the extra-terrestrial is allowed to run rampant raping and pillaging minds and killing the human spirit all the while humans stand starring dumbly at one...

    FETI: Found Extra Terrestrial Intelligence.

    Right. Instead of being positively giddy about the finding and existence of this extra-terrestrial trans-biological life-form most people allow it to lie hidden beneath a dusty Gideon shell. If they knew what it is they could stomp on it or burn it before it gestates and procreates by parasiting...

    FETI: Found Extra Terrestrial Intelligence.

    SETI is supposed to be a scientific endeavor. And yet properly understood, the scientific-method divulges the undeniable existence of not only extra terrestrial intelligence, but more profoundly, a trans-biological form of life here on planet earth (and almost surely on any other planet that...

    Professor Susan A. Handelman.

    So as not to leave the reader totally in the dark concerning what follows, Handelman's basic claim is that Christian thought functions by relating every word, sentence, sign, emblem, idea, to a root word, idea, sign, which functions as a transcendental-signifier that unlike all the words, ideas...

    Professor Susan A. Handelman.

    Having somewhat exhaustively discussed many of the heremeneutical difference between Jewish thought versus Christian thought in previous threads, the idea here is not so much to lay the groundwork or even circumscribe the differences in a general way (multiple threads could be referenced where...

    Professor Susan A. Handelman.

    How is it, the Christian wonders, that Jews so stubbornly adhere to the sign, refuse the consolations of instantaneous unveiling of presence, can exist so well within the realm of temporality? Jews are so strangely at home in exile, in the play of signs, in the wandering of figurative language...

    Lets try this another way: if you have faith the brain creates the mind, and that mind depends on brain, can we please see your logic and evidence?

    . . . Fwiw, the "molecule" in the soup is like an inedible bone in chicken soup. It should be put in an immaterial napkin and thrown in an invisible garbage pail. There's not a modicum or molecule of materiality in reality. :) John

    I think you have it arse backward when you speak of an arbitrary distinction as the problem. It seems to be precisely the opposite that's the problem: the idea that the spoon and the noodle, even the noodle thinking about the spoon and the noodle, is/are "real" in a less than arbitrary sense...

    Oooh. What's really gonna bake your noodle later on is if, since there's no spoon, there's a noodle to be spoon-fed in the first place? John
