'It is absolutely clear that emotion has always been the most part of life (the most important as well). That is a tautology, if you understand what must be true. Truth itself is unknowable. With...
All emotions are based in love, combining together perfectly for love. Fear is an analysis of the past only. Fear is the only reason for thought. Anger is the emotion of the present tense. It...
This is an amazing question and thank you for it. I have given much thought to it, over the years. Here is my answer: Life is a morality antennae. Those who are 'advanced' in the ONLY...
Good is an aim, an intent, towards that which is objectively good, e.g. love in any way. Evil is either an aim, an intent, away from that which is objectively good, e.g. anti-love in any way, ... or...
I can reliably show that political parties are essentially a creation of the two most prevalent personality vectors of mankind. There is no meaningful way to eliminate these priorities as the top...
Lol! Really? OK, here goes ... Yes, essentially. That is because the left wing is quintessentially stereo-typically feminine and the right wing is quintessentially stereo-typically masculine....
Discrimination is one of those words where the definition is now alarmingly colloquial. That is an error. Discrimination means the ability to make distinctions between one thing and another. ...
The formulation of a creed is akin to that of a crutch. The implication is that this crutch will always be needed. Only principles are needed, and these principles should ideally always be usable....
Any sort of meaningful polls show IQ as geographically distributed as observed. The studies have been done again and again. The nonsensical retort that the issue is cultural (while also true)...
Imagine a person in the Federation. They are provided for. They have quarters and get food and clothing and may use services and attend all events and such and travel freely. If they are...
This question, like many of your musings, reflects an immoral issue in your thinking. I have explained it before and I will try again. 1) You are bound by your morals. That means you know to try...
As usual, the scenario given is insufficient. For instance: A group of shipmates are stranded on an island. While the group reflects on what to do and just gathers themselves emotionally ......
It is true that aiming at morality can alienate people. In fact I have pointed out in many of my posts that the single hardest thing a person can do is a moral act. This ramifies throughout human...
Humorous, but, probably not. Again, this style of thinking is conflating observable instances with observable means. Any given Asian and Caucasian will be specific, e.g. anecdotal. But, if we say...
You have to look beyond the easy accusations and understand the real factual evidence. That is not white supremacy. Many casual observers will proclaim it such. They are wrong. Speaking in...
The goal of truth-seeking is what was meant. It is not necessary for any entity to know truth as far as we know. Truth simply is, on it own. Nothing can explain the existence of truth. It is...
This video is part 1 of a 3 part series. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8N3FF_3KvU So, the selected issues relate to culture. BUT ... this does statistically come back to race. It...
There is no defense against the common stupidity, other than creating and maintaining a culture that highly values PERSONAL awareness and judgement. Self-indulgence is the opposite of good...
Historically, and currently, European style societies thrive and progress well and others - do not. There are few exceptions to this. As a result MANY MANY Europeans migrated to other countries...
@BlackDog, I went into that explanation and I was excited about it, but, no response from you. More babble or didn't fit within your worldview or ... what? The new truth thread reminded me of...
Truth is a staggering and superlative concept. The truth is what is real. Since knowing what is real would require perfect knowledge, and we will never have that, we can NEVER know truth. The...
I agree that many modern adults have touch issues, a fact that irritates me. It can make a touchy person who means no offense seem creepy. Also men these days sort-of automatically get the label...
I will try. The basis of this analysis is the enneagram. Within that system, all emotions are based on 3 core emotions, anger, fear, and desire. Enneatypes 1, 9, and 8 all are anger types. They...
That is not true and never has been. Acquiescence to Capitalism is often force major, in other words the dude who used to make sandals for everyone and barter for back rubs and fine conversation now...
Again, what constitutes racism is usually considered focal on the word 'superior'. What is superior? If we say socio-cultural success, solidity, moral fiber, or even IQ we are left with the...
That is correct, because unless your IQ is less than around 85, you should realize two wrongs do not make a right. I may be white and male but MANY MANY blacks, male or female have just as many or...
Reality is a motivated delusion of all emotion. If we view the universe in terms of emotion only, the fifth dimension, we can suggest that reality is shaped by its many observers. If you wish to...
Quote from the film: 'Perhaps on a RARE occasion, he would pause for a family outing.' - Workaholic asshole. Paraphrasing: Hookworm and calloused feet. His solution, apparently, sell shoes...
Distillation as a verb sums up what I think is wrong with many approaches. You cannot burn off part of humanity. You must deal with all of them. I know and agree with your aim(s) I think here,...
I actually agree with you. A concise argument. Socialism and Capitalism are both the same in this sense. A few people rule as a tyranny over the many. The only question is what level of...
The universe, ... peoples by intent. The universe as a law includes the dimension of emotion, e.g. motivation, defined entirely by the meta emotion love. Some might wish to call this natural state...
This definition states that Third Position is in opposition to Communism. The explanation is brief and offers may contradictory examples, in my opinion. The defining sentence, Advocates of...
There is a sense little discussed. That sense is conscience. It is a real and measurable sense. It is often denied by nihilists and overly logical types and also overly hedonistic types, all in an...
I completely agree that Nazi Germany was socialist, as it is obvious that it was. I also agree that many people have a less than keen grasp of the obvious. But the obvious is of little interest. ...
I watched the video and the speaker's understanding of what is morality is lacking, for someone who claims to be studying it. The presentation cannot escape a dumbed down for the audience feel to...
I disagree that the only power is the vote. All people have the power of free will and free choice, even slaves. They can change the system at any time by enacting the will to do so en masse. ...
I agree with what I think your point is. Most everyone, whether they admit to it or not, is racist, to some degree. But what racism has come to mean in the United States, and most of the Western...
An interesting way to pose these questions. OK, I'll bite. Yes, but there is a trap inherent in your logos. You are using logic, a tool that is clumsy for computing moral truth, to do exactly...
I agree with you that moral action and belief are matters of the gravest form of importance. But modern civilization is no more important than a single soul within it, so it's fate seems a little...
Excuse me? You think I agree with the protesters? You are immeasurably confused, if so. They are offended and feel the need to take down history's monuments to feel secure that they are acting as...
Al monuments represent history only. They are there as a reminder both of the losers and their philosophies and the winners and their horrible philosophies. Removal of history is foolish and being...
Despite nay-saying to the contrary and trends in so-called first world nations (rapidly losing that status as the averaging effect of breeding takes over) overpopulation if already the #1 issue in...
I would call my style intuitive, flow-based, yet not entirely rational in construction. You have to be in-vibe. Granted, few enough grok my style, and grok the word might be another reason why. ...
Like all biased positions, Libertarian-ism is no different in its egregious crimes against wisdom and morality. This is the personal order leaning system, with a high degree of rugged individualism...
It is what it is (in truth)(no matter what people call it). People are often wrong. They should be more considerate. Me to.
So, other than my rather direct belief in the system I proposed, more ardent than your entertaining of the idea, I agree with where your thoughts take you here. Monism is ... kind of a pleasing...
The theory I put forth has none of me in it. It does not aggrandize me in any way. Arrogance means exaggerated sense of one's own abilities. Pride means obtaining pleasure from one's achievements....
You are wrong in this reasoning then. There is no certainty that death cannot be experienced. So the question presupposes that it can be clearly as an exercise in imagination. This IS NOT...
I disagree. Although I do suspect my statements in this regard have more truth value than the opposing position's, I by no means believe that my truths are incontrovertible. Both the definitions...
Dogma IS the shortcut. Leaning wisdom yourself, the real messages, is occluded by dogma. To use your analogy it is like someone who follows the instructions, the signposts, but has no idea what...'
