    Questions for God

    Where does anyone say that omniscience and omnipotence are equal? Perhaps the omnipotence can override the omnipotence / omniscience , causing a divine gamble. It seems to me that if God could not short-circuit / or create forces / beings / things he did not fully understand, then we are...

    Questions for God

    Then you don't see how it wouldn't be exhibiting more power to actually go beyond that.. by creating something that could have free-will. I understand: I've argued for determinism off and on, and there are some fortified arguments for it. But I've mostly rebounded to the free-will side, I think...

    Questions for God

    It depends on how you want to define those terms. If you want to say that there is a 'bigger square outside the square,' you can. Although I think that, from what I can tell, we humans are hardly in a position to tell where the border of everything is. This idea of 'nothing he doesn't know , he...

    Questions for God

    Well I think that the content of the universe would be within God's mind , or it seems very likely that it would be. However, in order for free-will to exist, for both God and humans, then there might actually be something that he 'doesn't know.' And that would be exactly what he will do next...

    If God has free-will, then he's less likely to be attached to any single religion

    From what I can tell, or from what I hear, the mathematicians and physicists and other people who measure the universe might still be perplexed about how it all works. Let's leave that aside. In any case, we'll have to, because I'm not good at that stuff The only answers I can give you are...

    If God has free-will, then he's less likely to be attached to any single religion

    To try to answer you, I suppose I would expand on the metaphor of the wheel. So then, to God, history is a road. The wheel is something that God operates. If you reason backward from the concept of the Wheel, it might illuminate something about the mind of God.. namely that it finds the wheel to...

    Judging what is unlikely

    What happens in the imagination, along with 'what actually happened,' is also representative of content, that happens. In an inclusive view of the universe, a product of the imagination has the same quality as a rock, in a sense. They both were created, and stand in contradistinction to...

    If God has free-will, then he's less likely to be attached to any single religion

    To any of you who may be somewhat curious, we can see that the pope is in a debate with the hermit. The hermit and strength guard the wheel of God on either side: from people one side, (who are set apart from the hermit's wisdom) and from the things that are imagined on the other. God has...

    What have you committed to solid memory? The value of memorization

    Wow.. well I know absolutely nothing about that

    Judging what is unlikely

    I can't answer you more extensively, since I'm busy, but I'd say it depends on how you define history.. what actually happened, versus what's in one's head - both these things 'happen,' in a way

    Judging what is unlikely

    I believe they both are real , when looking through reality with the Tarot.. The Fool takes a long journey to the World. History is a story.. it includes real physical things, and the imagination. The Wheel turns: on one side is the outer-world, and the inner world is on the other. Both are...

    What have you committed to solid memory? The value of memorization

    You seem really good with English guitar, piano, violin, and some other guitar-type instruments. I've been working on a couple jazz pieces on the piano lately, though I'm not the hugest fan of jazz. But there are some maneuvers in the genre to learn about, so sometimes I try to play some of it...

    come on.. you must know something

    What have you committed to solid memory? The value of memorization

    Could be anything.. history facts, languages, whatever. Math equations.. I was thinking of trying to memorize roman emperors just for fun I guess. Usually when I read books, I don't commit lines to memory, but just sort of make a mental note of places / chapters that were interesting, or make...

    Let's debate "UBI"

    it brings to mind a certain quote I should find.. I think it was about the ancient celts, who may have been paranoid that storing information in a book, as opposed to memorizing it, would weaken the mind. The idea was that the brain is a muscle, I think. So there is a separate debate about the...

    Let's debate "UBI"

    that's kinda drawing a lot of conclusions from what I did write.. which was to simply wonder what AI can actually do. I don't want to see people starve, but if it is true that the AI thing would replace the white collar jobs first, then that is kind of ironic, one must admit. That doesn't seem...

    Let's debate "UBI"

    the thing is, I'm skeptical that it can do my job.. I don't think there is a robot that can build a house, or do trucking on icy roads, or drive a forklift without causing pallet racking to collapse. Maybe it can do like a lawyer's job... or an accountant's, or anything with information...

    The importance / influence of the individual vs. the collective in politics / history?

    Perhaps it depends how receptive the one is to the other, and vice versa. The bible talks about hero figures and prophets, but it also seems to refer to the character of the 'people,' a large plural entity, as having different characteristics

    The importance / influence of the individual vs. the collective in politics / history?

    Well I think maybe part of the modern age entails a debate between the ordinary person and the celebrity / royal / hero type person. But there are still plenty of individuals who have major influence. Certain youtubers gather millions of views, and others get not a lot. There are still 'people...

    The importance / influence of the individual vs. the collective in politics / history?

    Nah I was tired from my daily routine. Still sorta am. There are a lot of different causes, but we can identify two things - individuals and collectives / groups / wider societies. Which one gets the ball rolling.. Is the 'individual' just a sort of phantom in the machine that happens to stick...
