    Does clubbing two or more world-views/Religions with one depicts one is yet undecided?

    Certainly :) There is wisdom in realising and accepting that we don't actually know the answers to the Great Questions. We don't even know if the Questions are valid. It is possible to be completely OK with that. The birds will still sing, the planets and stars will make their orbits...some...

    And certainty is most often an expression of insecurity. Fear of what lack of certainty may mean.

    The swastika

    The swastika is not merely an arbitrary symbol. It is an archetypal entoptic display - pardon the pseudoscientific poetic license. ;) I have observed it many times.

    The swastika

    The Ku Klux Klan appropriated the cross. But I guess since only colored Americans were terrorised and killed, that's not an issue...

    99% Chimp DNA Similarity? Not!

    Basically me and bananas want essentially the same thing - a quiet happy life near a tropical ocean. The only argument here is whether or not bananas actually want anything ... But since no-one speaks banana we can't ask.

    Why parsimony?

    Actually those astronomers weren't entirely wrong. Just for a moment, assume earth as reference point, and the diagram is accurate - or at least any map of relative motion assuming earth as coordinate 0,0,0 would produce a similar 2D representation. That's not the sun going down, it's the...

    Skeptical of .. my suggestion that unproved belief in origin and 'the meaning of life' may not be the bedrock of 'contemplation. Rather than skeptical of unprovable beliefs ? Interesting. The brain sure is a mazing ;)

    Your amazing brain!

    "What if..." is not a claim. My basic idea here is that you are presenting a humanocentric view as though it were a universal. Also, there is circular logic there.. only humans are 'the universe contemplating itself', because humans only recognise contemplation when it is in the form of human...

    Which claim ?

    Your amazing brain!

    And what if, having sufficiently contemplated itself, the universe--as-some-creature realised there was neither origin nor 'the meaning' ?

    Your amazing brain!

    It was once (until very recently) believed (considered 'fact') that language required the evolved frontal lobe. However, it has since been established that birds have language - and no frontal lobe.

    Does Anyone Else Feel Labeless?

    Seems to me that any inquisitive mind would be interested in the forces that shape the human psyche. I want to have a clearer idea of the hows and whys of our behaviour. It may be that religion is an evolved behavior serving some function. Whatever it is, it is worth examination.

    The New Cold War is underway... I bet Trump would blame China. So many compelling scapegoats nowadays.

    States Election System Possible Problem Due To Hacking

    Australian's have just had a national census - compulsory data gathering done by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). This was our first electronic census. It was a debacle. The ABS site crashed within an hour. The reason given was a DDoS ( a denial of service attack ).
