General theory of relativity a pseudoscience?
sagebrush replied to wandelaar's topic in General Discussion
to wit- not sure but there are ergonomic chairs that reduce pressure on buttocks propelling one forward with more pressure on lower leg/shins and as far as God is a weak left handed it is good to work or train ambidextrous. I do so at work because of joint issue in my right elbow or tendon pain..not sure over use, though and I have been forced to do so in order to maintain producing income. -
Currently important to me. When is it ok to lie acording to your understanding of Daoist scriptures?

ok I like painting of the big wave with mount Fuji= the artist did a series with Fuji in all of them. I watched it on documentary called civilization...art history basically well some Asians are on a boat near what looks a tidal wave...maybe the name was katsushika. I had to look it up. this conversation seems familiar there was a great movie with foxes in it-like a cartoon but not childrens plot the main character fox was George Clooney very creative and entertaining- foxes outwitting a farmer. watercolors I seem to gravitate about landscape. I like that andy Goldsworthy because he works so hard then nature inadvertently demolishes it-albeit a wind or the tides.... found it interesting about some oriental work on scrolls are lapses over time representations. not just still painting. -

I had begun to sing I love the nightlife. but that is not true. but dancing yes. rhythm sanding all day cabinets all day what if someone can read your thoughts? isn't that external then? -

well sounds like that would make complete sense but why refute anything if one can unzip the mind and see and hear it all. I place my attention tonight on my lawn outside. endearing though but manipulative and malicious who knows what tomorrow brings -

I thought Hinduism has beliefs in 100's of Gods on a more artistic note- what is the painting depicting? ok ganesh ok chariot ok nighttime ok transcribing ok archer ok pond and what is the left elbow prop about? burning Nag Champa? -

no I disagree- what we have here is an endless supply of contradictions I can go back a quote a few lines of deci belle: something to the effect about entering the kingdom of heaven- you must give up your life all that is required is to forget the mind that thinks it exists...……... then someone else chimes in regarding the fear of early onset dementia

sagebrush replied to Lightseeker's topic in General Discussion
true intelligence shines like a light is your version of what you have defined true intelligence to be- what did life look like for you prior to cultivating your shining light? and what if I disagree? true intelligence to me looks like the dirt nest I saw yesterday on window ledge of an exterior house. a little bit bigger than a pea size molded into what looked like a pottery jug. beautiful its storming outside and I would like to have a peaceful Saturday-- -

I have that damn book emotional intelligence let me think back to who highly recommended it yes! Charlie- saw him today after tai chi my English professor community college I don't know if I have it anymore and I certainly did not read it. just simply noticing the hook is a message for me clear enough -

From my perspective and experience my intelligence level increased from enrolling in school/college and other occasion working for larger company where I had more interactions with other employees and others skills to learn. So off watching tv to an extent I would agree is not really helpful but many shows could teach history or documentary. I am not good with sitting and reading. I don't really like that and I don't see the point either of boasting which is the flip side of couch potato/tv about how many books I can read at one time. always picking controversy. information could be considered power yes and mental strength yeah, but really where will it get you when you are six feet under? not everybody wants to multiple numbers all day. I sure as hell don't. todays intelligence increased by letting breeze wash over and refresh me outside during tai chi-- just a chance to relax and not be in my hustle at work. then a fellow tai chi participant offered up pawpaws and further educated me on native wild foods. music would be a grand way to increase intelligence. anyone that can play a musical instrument gets a plus from me reading notes and making sound writing music symphony. albert Einstein my be smart but I would rather hear music than work equations. so at the moment my little squirrel has located its nut and all is well. health is the greatest wealth anyway-so work that out
