    A third something was just shot down over Canada

    Also someone might want to do a thread on the green lasers from space, what was that all about. I saw some headlines on that.

    I think our lives are probably defined far more, actually, by technological interfaces than money. And the truth is probably that there is always a trade-off between things. You build more housing, you wreck good views. You need the economy to grow, prices inflate. Etc. In a world with finite...

    A third something was just shot down over Canada

    An intercontinental car balloon malfunction, I see. All joking aside, this is why I was ranting about wanting to you know, cool international relations over the past year. I don't like the world's authoritarians, but it is far more strategic to cool relations. This is why. But then, if I argue...

    The bible and slavery - please post direct passages from the bible that you believe support slavery.

    I reference some in my thread on the Didache, that seem relevant. But I guess my question is, did the ancient people back then think of a slave like we think of it? In some cases certainly, but did they all have a lack of rights, and no ability to work their way from out? Granted that is bad as well

    One wonders though, what the political implications would be of there being a 'replicator.' (that was the thing that made free food) One wonders if a political faction of some kind, would want to regulate it anyway, if it existed.

    Again, I understand your point of view. And if may speculate further, correct me if I'm incorrect, I think I understand what kind of Christianity you like: which is actually the most authentic kind - the doom-pilled Jesus was in fact, a brute realist about the fatality of material conditions...

    What else is, or was, there? It's actually all just different gradations of capitalism. That's all there ever was, throughout history. It's a requirement of the use of non-free material resources. As long as resources are finite, someone will allocate them. Now I would like to see an up-scaled...

    Well, actually scrap my whole idea. I'm not even sure if I like it anyway. I don't know what the solution is. But to me, I don't believe in just stopping to live within the doom mindset. Analysis of serious problems is important. But I think that positive solutions should always follow the...

    Poll: Is Sleep a New Religion

    I don't know, but I only got like 5 or 6 hours a day this week of sleep.. I figure it might have something to do with how the day length is shifting or something. Just gotta deal with it

    Hey I get it, bud. I've spent most of my life surrounded by drinkers, and I had a cousin, and a friend, die of heroin overdoses. I have read like 5 books on homelessness. My query here, is just to wonder if an alternative, but functional mode of society would work for these people. Now there was...

    I don't think a third-person view from a car is especially revealing, myself. It's controversial, but there a few big youtube channels dedicated to actually interviewing the homeless, and a common thread in those videos, seems to be that people actually do have some awareness of what they are...

    Well I think you have to slow down a little bit here, you are talking about a possible goal and a starting point. The whole idea of a monastery type system, I think, was that belief in god(s), spirituality, or higher sources etc. was emergent from the kind of lifestyle they went to have. The...

    The construction of a massive amount of monasteries, where people would go to both be behave and opt out. That's one possible solution

    Ok, but again, and I don't want to come off as ignorant about their hardship, but they did live in a totally different kind of 'social paradigm,' where I think that there was no notion of any kind of social credit score, or analysis of individual history, in order for social functionality to...

    The institution of HR itself seems kind of modern. I wonder about the history of their role so far

    Well, I think maybe younger people can have more inner-fire, which can make them seem more erratic at times, but with proper training, minus spite from their elders, they can become functional. My dad told me a weird story about my grandfather the other week, who passed when I was like 11. It...

    There's two sides to the story man. If you want to say that about the younger generation, you can, but as someone in my mid-thirties, I don't exactly have glowing reviews of the people 20 or 30 years older than me, than I've had to work with. Granted, I didn't start out as a good worker, but the...

    Yup I have questions about all of that.

    Your Principle Scripture

    I don't know, but the most moving thing I read last year, would have to be meditations by marcus aurelius. I know that the text has kind of made its way into modern pop culture, but it still is actually really good. And in that text, there really is a strong sense of western spirituality, before...

    Where and How Would You Advertise RF?

    I think doing youtube podcasts would work. Can any of you hold a good unwritten conversation? All you'd need is someone who could do that, and then you contact scholars etc. Or even just talk to people here, if they'd want that.
