What is in bold is a classic example of duality or an observer being conscious of existence. That is light years off.

This thread is very amusing and is a distraction from the real problem. It doesn't really matter who holds the POTUS, given that the real power is held by the 'Military Industrial Complex' in which Eisenhower warned about this problem before leaving office. The 'Military Industrial Complex' is a vast machine that has tentacles (bases, private contractors, manufacturers, think tanks) in every state and by extension has bases in almost every part of the world. Congress writes the checks almost without question to keep the machine alive.

One can discuss this ad infinitum and never understand. Non duality is direct experience and beyond any verbal description.

You posted the Soros images as well as calling him a Jewish Nazi. That is not being egalitarian in the least, but stirring inflammatory remarks.

The first video is in regards to what? The so called interview of Soros is someone reading a transcript. Not very good journalism at all. To call Soros a 'Jewish Nazi' proves what? Speech of that nature only fuels more of the same and history is replete with examples of violence which evolves from such. Misogyny? Yes it is replete on this thread. Perhaps you don't recognize it in all it's forms.

@ TheWhiteRabbitt, Exactly why do you view George Soros as evil? Further, how do you know that Hillary is behind the blackened face as implied?

Soros was mentioned in the anti-Semitic thread and my comments tie in with that. Further, the link posted is one example of many online, if you care to research. Moreover, I am addressing a problem that seems to be growing on this forum in which anti-Semitic remarks are generally veiled and not overtly stated. I am puzzled as to your calling me out on this and I have yet to see you address the misogyny on this thread or the anti-Semitism on the other thread i.e, from your personal point of view. Addendum The images he posted are clearly designed to evoke an emotional response. Especially by using his birth name Gyorgy Schwartz. Such images have been used to great effect by propagandists.

The anti-Semitic thread has been locked and perhaps this one should also. George Soros is Jewish and is hated by the right wing conspiracy cabal. What is your point? http://www.targetfreedomusa.com/covert-jew-george-soros-aka-schwartz-gyorgy-funded-ferguson-fiasco/

Why not share your mantra here?

If I remember correctly, the text in bold above was included in the Mensa test which I passed after I graduated from college in 1983. Are you implying that the Mensa exam is inferior in some way? Have you taken the test?

Not certain what your point is. I took the test several decades ago.

I have no idea since I don't speak or read German.

Which incarnation?

The hypocrisy is way deep in that Trump's accusers are all liars and Bill Clinton's accusers are telling the absolute truth.

To clear up my post, semantics are the illusion and are in no way a precise or exact way of mapping reality.

Saw them twice here in Santa Fe. One of the great venues designed by Paolo Soleri.

Destroyed in your mind and that is as far as it goes.

I have seen the Moody Blues five times in concert. One of the great bands from the 60's.

Jean Baudrillard's work is similar to Krozybski's in that both discuss the illusory relationship between the semantic perception i.e, maps and the so called real world.

You have consistently redirected the focus of this discussion. Actually, there is little point in even having a real discussion when you are unwilling to relax as opposed to the myopic point of view that libertarians love to push.

You had no reason to. In fact you were implicating me as a liar regarding an IQ test. Comparing it to vegetables.

You entirely missed the point. Read the book if you dare. I posted the link.

Let's face it Joe, in that you are as guilty of tu quoque as everyone else in most of these discussions.

I know you are promoting a selfish libertarian world. There are some issues that you and I agree on, but leaving people out on the street without a safety net, poor educational opportunities and so forth appears to be in your world view.
