Earl Grey

I think I'll call myself a billionaire because I read things I see on the Internet then and pieced together how to be one. In all seriousness: I find "being" a mystic and striving to attain the label gets in the way of walking the path of a mystic...and it doesn't really offer any insight on development, looking more like wandering and looking for things that are pleasing rather than exploration and discovery that a mystic's journey encompasses, with specific indicators of progress.

More indecipherable stuff that you call “Liuhebafa”? I practice actual Liuhebafa every day, and none of what you’re posting is going to give anyone looking this up any actual information or insight about it.

It is! And your buddy is the one who recommended it to me, a guy who loved caffeine, was totally right about what made it awesome.

100%. It's like they don't realize that they're high or acting high.

Musical interlude: "Hey! Listen up! We got enough problems with bandits, bums, and boobs! But we can all agree that a little booze and time to schmooze makes everything better! "Places everyone! Make way! for the Singing Samurai!" And now, for a little Bollywood for varrrrrrriiiiiiietyyyyy! "Get up and dance, fools!"

I'm better, though I may have had Omicron recently too--not sure as I didn't get tested and just stayed inside during those three days.

earl was actually given some sound advice by blue. No.

谢谢！ありがとうございます！¡Muchas gracias! Merci beaucoup! Terima kasih! Maraming salamat! Grazie! Agun chiram!

Hey, can you please send to me too?

He didn’t die in 1968 as he was teaching in 1989 still.

We need “evidnece” for that claim! But let’s not think about it too much before we get distracted by how o@d might work for most people…

I see you played an ace!

Most on this forum won’t say anything positive or informative about this, hence immediate in jokes about this (and disgust).

And it’s inspired by the San bushmen, plus all sorts of great facts found in your FffffRrrrrrEeeee PDF. But I don’t have $20 to donate to you to ask a question, sorry!

🤦🏻‍♂️ Trust us when many say you really don’t want to revisit this subject.

Additionally, use VLC media player and you don’t need to worry about regional lock out!

Yes, exactly what i was hoping to convey but left out the genetics part (crucial mistake). So we can’t rely on empirical evidence then alone since it is different for each person observing that soapy taste or not.

Ideally with a full stomach—oh, the sacrifices you must make as a concierge. 😢 we salute you!

Yes, do you want spring rolls and vermicelli with that too? You can see the blotter paper experiments hidden above require a lot of dedication and we salute you for your boldness and initiative!

Vietnamese phô without cilantro is a crime. But I got s couple other Asian American friends who just hand me their cilantro and get disgusted when I load my bowl up with it. I regret nothing!

Empiricism in one example is the tastebud test: some people have an aversion to cilantro, and I can’t recall too well, but it was this blotter paper people were given in my university class that determined who hated it and who didn’t because the paper was disgusting to those who felt cilantro tasted like soap whereas those who tasted nothing tended to enjoy cilantro.

The first two albums were all right--I share Smash Mouth's singer Steve Harwell's opinion of them at a live show my friend went to: YAWN. I don't think you're using an entirely different metric, though I find you tend to use what the stick can touch as your main use of the tool rather than the other use like measuring from a distance and estimating. Logic: good. Reason: good. Evidence: good. On paper, this should suffice; in practice, it wouldn't hurt to study the classics like Platonism to understand reason and how that predates empiricism. The two work together, but empiricism shouldn't entirely supersede wonder, exploration, discovery, and reason....if anything, empiricism should support reason as it has before, which Newton is a fine example of because the guy did have more he wrote about, including on metaphysics.

The problem with empiricism is that it is still a fairly recent characteristic of science. Reason and the scientific method were a way of exploration and discovery rather than what is closer to not even skepticism, but a kind of material contrarianism. For example: we can perceive three spectrum. A mantis shrimp perceives 16. Those colors are already there, but we can't always trust our senses, though I suspect you might have a similar view with the earlier statement that personal testimony can have bias. I think I like to have a mind that is based more on wonder than on contrarianism.
