    Having Children and my thoughts on why people are deciding not too.

    In western countries, it occurred to me the other day that the birth rate might be down due to pessimistic reflection on history. I mean if you think hard about the standard books that they had us read in high school english class, and it's not that they are bad books, but might it be that they...

    More attacks on Free Speech in the UK

    from an american perspective, I think maybe free speech isn't just about saying what you want, it's also possibly about releasing pressure and tension in society. If people are frustrated, they want to express it with speech. I mean I may be wrong, but that's sort of what it seems like. It...

    More attacks on Free Speech in the UK

    That's not good, but why do things happen like that, in that sort of a sequence? If what you say is possible, then the implication is that some kind of a social issue is not being dealt with hardly at all, for the atmosphere to be something akin to a barn full of moldy hay, waiting for a spark...

    More attacks on Free Speech in the UK

    Well that's not good, but what about the questions I asked?

    More attacks on Free Speech in the UK

    I think I might argue that, for example, that one can read all kinds of books, and listen to all kinds of talks on youtube, especially of a political nature, but you as a listener have some responsibility to interpret every form of media you consume in a the wiser way, than to just say that what...

    More attacks on Free Speech in the UK

    Well I mean no one wants a 'riot' to take place, but what about a peaceful protest? Importantly, are you allowed to protest in the uk or not? I don't know

    LEFTISTS fear opposing views, a prime example is provided

    You know the thing with this kind of post, and I know I sort of debated you recently, is that it is so short, but so full of potential questions, that I cannot possibly really know exactly what you mean. And I definitely don't want to read into what is you might mean. Do you mean on the...

    LEFTISTS fear opposing views, a prime example is provided

    Yeah, but something with that has to change at some point, I think. Not to the point where we steadily give resources to the rich or more capable, or to the point where we it cede to those who behave in an overtly anti-social matter - though I do wonder how conditions can shape character. This...

    Human predictions.

    well when I watch the tarot, I do not look at the future with it. For me, that's not what it's actually about. I am not interested in predicting the future. Instead, it is about how different archetypes / notions work together. Like if I put the hermit next to the strength woman, what is the...

    What do humans have most in common with a deity?

    The comparison is that of an almost autonomic response (I think) compared to something you can do in your head, if you probably studied it long enough. Free abstraction seems obviously (perhaps) to be the workshop foundation of deity. But the body seems like a form of training for humans, who...

    What do humans have most in common with a deity?

    Perhaps it is possible that life and wisdom require some kind of a body, but I don't think that wisdom is a given. Perhaps 'thought' is a given, but it seems that it is not intrinsically organized. It needs to be organized, perhaps in perpetuity. Or at least it takes effort to organize it...

    What do humans have most in common with a deity?

    maybe divine is not the word I was looking for, perhaps I would say that we are freer in our ability to have a thought, than we are to produce a tangible action with the human body. I can think of a peach for half a minute, and then think of the martian landscape for the reminder of that minute...

    What do humans have most in common with a deity?

    Well there might be something 'divine' in the ability to think, because the simple ability to do it is a magnitude less restrained than physical matter experiences. Though obviously, it has limitations in our case

    What do humans have most in common with a deity?

    I guess I always that that if there was a higher power, the thing we have most in common with it has to be something to do with how we think. Here is a rough list of things that might relate the human mind to the god mind One - I would say that of the processes that go on in our head, human...

    Do You Find Ietsism a Likely and/or Plausible Belief?

    I guess if I were to try to refine my view from then, I might say that a goal might be to be sated with only the certain amount of knowledge that one is allotted, or that one can learn. But a problem with that, is that one would need to find such way of viewing it to be acceptable, and perhaps...

    Republicans are a threat to democracy

    If Kamala is going to be president, fine, but she does continue this tradition doesn't she, of us being led by lawyers. I think maybe I'd rather be led by an artist for a change, or a philosophy major. I also find something about her a little unnerving: she was a prosecutor, but she laughs a...

    Republicans are a threat to democracy

    If people are spending to keep up with growth, I think maybe we have to look at why they are doing it: to keep up with growing expenses, or to get luxuries?

    Republicans are a threat to democracy

    You know, maybe there is a way to make this a non-issue for everyone. Obviously, we all know that lots of people want to come here, for whatever reason. If they decided to make policies to open the border even more in the usa, then a way to even it out, would be to have an agreement with...

    Pregnant Women in Distress being turned way from ERs

    well that's horrible. It's too bad choice A or choice B (democrat or republican) are both bad choices

    What do you guys think of Zelensky?

    maybe the ukrainian leadership should put fake trust in putin until he dies of old age, I don't know. Putin does give off a hard to predict vibe. Maybe the solution to countering that, would be partly to act hard to predict. Zelensky strikes me as being just a little bit anxious. Maybe it would...
