    Capitalism and Spirituality

    No, that would not go down too well. :blush: Here’s how I see it: In our incarnated state of being, the world and how it unfolds, is what we encounter and engage with. The way in which the world runs, varies from time and place but no matter how it’s run in your time and place; that’s what...

    Capitalism and Spirituality

    I don’t think that I actually understand this question. Capitalism addresses the clearly mundane (as in “worldly”) issue of capital. Spirituality addresses something completely different. Humbly, Hermit

    In regards to process philosophy, this article -and indeed, the journal it’s published in- may be of interest to you Humbly, Hermit

    Screw you YouTube. I hope you do it.

    Indeed, I did. Its implications were different in 2006.

    Arming teachers is a great idea

    A random guess is that the amount of those particular sorts of “unlucky”, increase with the amount of snipers and guns that are around. Possibly.

    Screw you YouTube. I hope you do it.

    Yes. Theirs; to my data.

    Screw you YouTube. I hope you do it.

    In my experience, if one hits the refresh button as soon as an ad starts at the beginning of a clip, the ad is stopped and the clip you want to watch is launched instead. Humbly, Hermit

    Screw you YouTube. I hope you do it.

    Because we already pay for YouTube with our data and with whatever content we upload onto YouTube? I don’t know. Humbly, Hermit

    Many different religious opinions

    Hmm… I mean, without any direct moral judgement now, but: how is it “self-evident” that all are ‘created’ equal? If anything; are we not all ‘created’ slightly differently? To me, the beauty about it lay in each person’s unique composition of all that they share with others - one is never...

    Many different religious opinions

    Despite great traditional and terminological differences, many do share core values - they just motivate them differently. I see sound “truths” in many religions. That said; I also see many destructive bits in most. Humbly, Hermit

    Logical deduction (religion, the PoE)

    Natural disasters and deseases are not “curses” sent by a divine, to make us suffer. They too are -indirectly and/or directly- caused by our interaction with environment. Specifically cancers are caused by mankind; by our use of natural resources, our innovations, the artefacts we produce and...

    Logical deduction (religion, the PoE)

    Dear @an anarchist, Man makes his mark on earth and the earth reacts. Man makes his mark on the ecosystem and his fellow species react. Man makes his mark upon his brother and his brother reacts. Man makes his mark upon himself and he, himself reacts. Whether agency is viewed as choice or/and...

    This relates to the scientism issue: what you "believe in" (faith) is different in kind from what you assent to as true (belief). Do you agree?

    Dear @FaithNotBelief, I like the wording in this text you referred to; it makes goods sense to me. Thanks for providing it. “This helps illuminate belief in God. This is not reducible to a factual answer to the question ‘does God exist?’ … It is having an attitude, holding a disposition to...

    You say that there is a god...

    From the example that you give at the end, I’d say that you may have misunderstood me a little regardless. What I meant is that when we come across something claiming to be scientific, that harmonises with our general way of thinking (whether we “like” what’s said or not, is irrelevant) we may...

    You say that there is a god...

    Haha, I’m traveling at the moment and have not always had access, but I do here, so I promise to look through your comments and address what I may have missed. Humbly, Hermit

    You say that there is a god...

    Yes. §2 §4 is the definition of the term authority that I use in my first and second comments to you - provided here, at your requested. Correct: you “trust the reliability of the process” used in scientific research. I promise; I have not misunderstood you and am not too sure why you think...

    On the showing of the “pride flag, and appropriate activism.

    I find it interesting that their choice of flag would disturb someone so much. It suggests that their choice may be more warranted than I spontaneously would have thought. Humbly, Hermit

    You say that there is a god...

    That is part of what I said, yes. That I am assuming -I may be doing so incorrectly, of course- that you believe in the scientific standard (procedures/ practices, limits, methods, interpretations, etc.), academically agreed upon for the production of knowledge. And, I am saying that if this...
