    Venturing A Prediction

    In terms of what is actually happening right now, and what may soon happen, to go back to a few positions I had already posted elsewhere, I do think that there is a moral trap in responding, specifically with a ground invasion, but the missiles also probably represent a logistic nightmare. If...

    Venturing A Prediction

    To take a break from posing questions at the mid-macro moral / ethical level, I will zoom out for a second to the larger macro. At this level, I have series of different questions, but at a systematic-based level that I believe envelops any of the items you pose here. At this level, my questions...

    Venturing A Prediction

    That's where I think you are completely incorrect. Our modern civilization is based at the foundational level, I believe, on recognizing intention as a dynamic indication of the level of heinousness in such an action. A policeman who acts inappropriately in our country can cause a mass protest...

    Israeli Duty to Warn? What unmitigated gall (chutzpah)

    Who the hell really knows what was running through the minds of the hamas attackers - I don't, and I don't think that we in West generally know either. But it might be a crucial thing for us to understand. I think the action they undertook, was not the action of an army or militia. It was more...

    What are Hamas' leaders thinking?

    But in contradistinction to people like Putin and Xi, who may yet do something really world-changing in the irrational sense, but have yet to press that set of buttons, what are the motivations at the core of Hamas? The people who did the things they did, in that group, appeared to act in...

    What are Hamas' leaders thinking?

    To end hostilities, hm. Well the main problem, from what I am dimly trying to understand, is that it actually does not seem to be clear what it is they would be fighting, exactly. It does not look to me like they are up against an army, (to reference the hamas force that did the attack...

    What are Hamas' leaders thinking?

    I'm not the smartest person on the planet, but I just have a sinking feeling that an invasion would backfire, larger actors may get involved, and opinion may turn. But the reality is, they are probably going to do something, and are already by cutting off resources, so whatever goal they are...

    What are Hamas' leaders thinking?

    I do not believe that they would intentionally brutalize people in the manner that we have all just seen. Now I am not a military expert, but it looks like in that area of the world, the urban density is such that whenever fighting occurs, it would incur unintentional losses. That just my hunch...

    What are Hamas' leaders thinking?

    I guess my take, after watching some very violent footage, and as an american who is far removed from all of this, is to notice the extraordinarily salient brutality of the attackers. To attack civilians and brutalize them, without seeing it as a mistake, while filming it, without any shame...

    Why does God not talk to all of us directly.

    It might be, in one view, the case that we are all in constant direct communication with the greater level, but simply do not admit it, or see it. But by this, one might infer that you should 'read into things' more, in order to see the communication. Perhaps that is not the case. Perhaps the...

    What does God want from you?

    Well, I think I have rough idea about it, but in my case, I don't think it has as much to do with intellectual attainment, as other things. I think the higher level is beckoning me, or offering me, a possibility to be more creative. And maybe, this is essential in my becoming a fully formed...

    Why would somebody willingly become a Satanist?

    I don't know about the association you're talking about here, as I've yet to read about a connection between the Tarot and the freemasons. Nor I do really connect it to demonology, or the four elements you describe. It's not that a person couldn't do that, if they wanted to, as the Tarot is...

    Black Cops Persecute White Man For Legal Speech

    Well one thinks of the military, one thinks of someone who might be more trained in terms of allowing risk and self-sacrifice in order to possibility get a situation under control. A 'situation,' as opposed to a person. And what is the real risk with most people that you see in these videos? In...

    Black Cops Persecute White Man For Legal Speech

    Well when I look body cam videos, piece by piece, I get a sense of escalation often, when the cops start really yelling. And my thought is, that the yelling elicits more yelling, and other reactions, instead of a calm reaction. Charges then build up, in a half a moment's time, depending on what...

    What Does It Mean To Be A Pagan?

    And just to add one more little thing, I would posit that awe is a transcendent quality across time, in perhaps a somewhat direct contradistinction to fear, when the subject is nature. For example, a modern person and a person 10,000 years ago might have an identical sensation of awe, if they...

    What Does It Mean To Be A Pagan?

    I don't know, I think maybe it might be more about a collaboration in a way, granted however, that it is with a very serious and potentially dangerous force. We see that in the Tarot, the Strength card features a woman who looks to be controlling the beast. However, in the later archetypes in...

    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?

    I think I might be fairly consistent in my belief that the brain is the seat / control interface of the mind, and that the concept of the mind is fairly analogous with the soul. The mind seems to work with the brain, and draw from it, in my general view. If you learn something new, the...

    Black Cops Persecute White Man For Legal Speech

    Well one thing I wondered about, was what the difference might be between regular police, and military police. I had heard they are not the same, in terms of training, and what they will do in a situation. The latter, maybe, might focus more-so on just discipline, and use deadly force as the...

    Black Cops Persecute White Man For Legal Speech

    Well I watched about half of it, and couldn't get through it. I have been watching some police body camera stuff lately, and I think I just find those situations generally scary. I think my inclination is still to think that de-escalation methods are not employed enough. I mean, a lot of the...

    Gonna take a hiatus

    I've been thinking about taking a break from foruming, and so I think I'm going to go for it. You've all made me think hard about all kinds of stuff, and I think that this is an ok past-time, but something about my energy-level, or creativity, or something like that, has shifted lately, as far...
