  1. He was suspended repeatedly for his aggression, this finally leading to a permanent ban. He earned it via his actions, it was not imposed on him.
  2. Phone addiction

    remember when folks didn't have phones and they were so much more connected? yea, me neither...
  3. What was the beginning and cause for esoteric societies?

    are you certain? perhaps you've just not uncovered the pearl...
  4. Axioms Against Cognitive Distortion

    Are you certain of this? Asking for a friend...
  5. What are you listening to?

  6. Which books sit on your nightstand?

    D's writings were pivotal experiences for me.
  7. Transgender Q&A

    Always so convenient when they want and insist on government intrusion. And it's usually on other's lives, not their own.
  8. Which books sit on your nightstand?

    Life changing work. Incredible insight. Bohm's work with Krushnamurti spanned 35 years after he was ousted from the American physics scene by Oppenheimer and Einstein. He was simply too far ahead of them to be tolerated. One of my all time Heroes! I have a study I compiled some years ago on he and DT Suzuki, comparing their descriptions of life and cosmology. Many of their insights are nigh on word for word identical. Reminiscent of Fritjoff Capra's insights into the similarities of Quantum Theory, Taoist, Zen and Brahmanic Cosmology, in his seminal work The Tao of Physics.
  9. What is your main take away from the journey of life?

  18. Share myths, anecdotes, short stories etc.

    The basis of modern Christianity has no incentives at all for good deeds or works of the heart. It is a Grace based system of being saved by Faith alone. Through his works, not yours are ye saved. Ha! What you think and believe is all important. What you did in life, is nigh on worthless so long as you believe the right doctrines... eventually. (and that belies according to those who congregate and decide what doctrines/dogma that comprises)
  19. What made YOU laugh today/tonight ?

    macho man jesua
  20. The sickly self-obsessed modern man

    Chat gpt. When you can't be bothered to explore, read, or synthesize or think... you settle for plagiarized software regurgitation.
  21. Creating a World from Scratch

    Nothing is truly random. The fact that your/our human perception is incapable of processing the attributes of reality notwithstanding... the appearance of random and the inability to discern causation does not imply random.
  22. Transgender Q&A

    Thank you Maddie. It's so relentless, the unending bullshit. It's as exhausting as it is disheartening.
