    Madam President

    What other democratic candidate do you know, that has been smeared as a Russian-Bot, and Assad Apologist, a Republican Trojan Horse, and loved by white supremist? What other candidate is a Major in the HAWAII National Guard, and served two combat tours of duty in both Iraq and Kuwait? What other...

    Madam President

    Many conservatives, centrists, and libertarians, are sick of endless and illegal wars with countries most people can't even spell. Most people don't want to see thousands of our men and women in uniform, dying, or being permanently maimed to keep corporate America afloat. Most people don't want...

    Tulsi Gabbard

    There is no democratic candidate that can completely contrast Trump like Tulsi. A side by side debate with Trump would be an embarrassment for Trump. Even if no words were spoken. A two-time combat veteran and Major, vs. a draft dodger. Unlike Trump, she has a command on all social and foreign...

    Tulsi Gabbard

    Maybe someone can help me to understand, because I just don't get it. We have a candidate that is a two-time combat veteran, and still serving as a Major in the National Guard. A person who will stop the escalation of a Nuclear Arms Race. A person also serving as a congresswoman on the Foreign...

    Children and Religion

    What exactly is a "spiritual heart"? What does spiritual perfection look like? Do children have an informed choice before taking these steps towards perfection? Does developing a spiritual attitude equate more towards social conformity or more towards a child's individuality? Who determines the...

    Science IS religion

    DAD. I am not saying that time, space, and light is the same today as it was Billions of years ago. Or, that these differences prove that the universe and earth could be only 10,000 years old. You could certainly attack the "red shift" brightness of bodies, as not being empirical. You could...

    What If Consciousness Comes First?

    I meant no disrespect to you personally. Dealing with any mental illness is not something that I take lightly. My father died of Parkinson's Disease, and my sister-in-law died of complications from Down Syndrome(enlarged heart). My brother has Asperger's syndrome, and my next door neighbour has...

    What If Consciousness Comes First?

    It is probably NOT a good idea to champion that a dysfunctional brain is a good way to highlight our 5% conscious state. Especially, since our underlying persona, and conscious decision making processes, are the outward product of the function of the other 95% of our brain. Therefore, if the...

    What If Consciousness Comes First?

    You initially stated, "No, they are not". Are you now saying that you understand that I did NOT say that the therapies you mentioned, were all about a dysfunctional brain? And, what I actually said was, "All of these therapies, practices, and techniques, are used to treat a dysfunctional brain...

    What If Consciousness Comes First?

    Still huffing and bluffing, distorting and avoiding I see. I never said they are all about mental illness. Those are YOUR words to force-fit your own narrative. I originally said, "All of these therapies, practices, and techniques, are used to treat a dysfunctional brain.". I also said in the...

    What If Consciousness Comes First?

    Do you believe that ALL students, and ALL psychologist(and physiologist), or everyone else on the planet, have dysfunctional brains? Are the three therapies you listed not used, as a method of treating a dysfunctional brain? When I say dysfunctional, I mean any emotional, physical, social...

    What If Consciousness Comes First?

    More self-assured hubris and pomposity. All of these therapies, practices, and techniques, are used to treat a dysfunctional brain. Since the function of the brain is to process, store, learn, control, and compartmentalize internal and external sensory input, It is these processes that the...

    What If Consciousness Comes First?

    Sorry, I may have phrase that badly. I know that I can affect consciousness in many ways(physically, drugs, rewiring, hypnosis, suggestion, injury, etc.) through the physical brain. The only mystery about consciousness, is the mechanism itself. Consciousness is non localized. It is a composite...

    What If Consciousness Comes First?

    No. what is consciousness fundamental to? Bosons, electrons, and quarks are the fundamental particles that make up matter. Without them, no stable matter could exist. But these particles can certainly exist on their own, without matter. If consciousness is a fundamental something, what are its...

    What If Consciousness Comes First?

    Was there something specific you wanted to address in my post? Were you aware of your birth? Are you aware of other consciousnesses? Can consciousness perceive itself? Were these the type of questions you wanted to contribute to the conversation? Or, is your contribution only accusations and...

    Science IS religion

    I suppose I can't really expect a serious discourse with anyone who lists their age as 119. I see you are still answering questions with questions. Still misrepresenting, deflecting, and distorting what others are posting. And, still refusing to answer our questions, or provide any objective...

    Science IS religion

    You If Origin science practices "Methodological Naturalism", then it is based on science, and NOT belief. But if Origin science is based only on the supernatural, then it is a belief and not a science. Of course this thread reads, "Science IS religion". This is an open claim that science and...

    What If Consciousness Comes First?

    "The conscious you, in effect, is like a not terribly bright CEO, whose subordinates do all of the research, draft all of the documents, then lay them out and say, “Sign here, sir.” The CEO does—and takes the credit.". Only 5% of all cognitive activities is devoted to our consciousness. The rest...

    Science IS religion

    This thread is certainly NOT about the origin science you keep parroting for no reason. I do not have faith, I have data and evidence. I have given you clear examples, logically consistent arguments, and relevant analogies, facts and evidence. I have even explained the inductive/deductive...
