  1. Hillary and Trump

    The above videos eventually discuss a communication style that is prevalent in everyday communications. That is what I am referring to and not a medical problem.
  2. Hillary and Trump

    Double bind defined as; a situation in which a person is confronted with two irreconcilable demands or a choice between two undesirable courses of action. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_bind
  3. Hillary and Trump

    Robert Dilts 'double bind' series. The 'double bind' is difficult to detect given that most have been conditioned by contradictory communication styles from childhood onward. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeSb7fd_8-4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtBhE0JYrmQ
  4. Hillary and Trump

    Karl writes in a ' double bind' style. Am on the job site now and will elaborate later.
  5. Hillary and Trump

    So there is only one reality?
  6. Hillary and Trump

    That is just an illusion.
  7. Hillary and Trump

    A Capitalist system is moral? Nonsensical.
  8. Karlonomics and Opportunity costs

    Stop resorting to the ad hominem defense which is not apropos in the least. I don't live in the UK and will not comment on your country. Stop with mine.
  9. Karlonomics and Opportunity costs

    Actually you don't know much about the situation here. I have my feet on the ground with direct experience of the problems here and you don't.
  10. Karlonomics and Opportunity costs

    The Fed supposedly buys back all the toxic assets on the books of the banks and with a little accounting maneuver termed as 'write down' the toxic assets disappear. What happens to these properties? The banks resell them and play the game all over again.
  11. Karlonomics and Opportunity costs

    I agree. I might add that the banksters on Wall Street after the 2008 crash have been given the privilege of borrowing from the Federal Reserve discount window at rates approaching '0' percent interest. That money was supposed to be loaned to communities and business's to aid in recovery. Where did the money go? Right back into playing the Wall Street casino with 'naked short selling'.
  12. Karlonomics and Opportunity costs

    I agree that the economy has not recovered in the way many are lead to believe. Wall Street, Multinational Corporations and government involvement are all to blame. It is not entirely the governments fault which is used as a generalized excuse to point fingers.
  13. Karlonomics and Opportunity costs

    Calling me ignorant is very offensive and I will not tolerate that whatsoever! Further, I don't care how you justify the use of that term!
  14. Karlonomics and Opportunity costs

    Your narrative is nothing but BS and does not apply regarding your warped conspiracy that it is all the governments fault. You don't live here and know nothing about the USA. I live it everyday and am not some person sitting in a dark corner of their bedroom typing away each and everyday out of boredom with nothing better to do.
  15. Karlonomics and Opportunity costs

    We are not in school here and you certainly are not the teacher. I suppose that the economic problems facing this country are not affecting you?
  16. Karlonomics and Opportunity costs

    His assessment is correct. The middle class is being stripped of jobs and opportunity whereby the wealth is in the hands of a few.
  17. Karlonomics and Opportunity costs

    Something to the effect of 60,000 factories have been shipped overseas with the majority to China. Software jobs have been shipped to India and so forth. Corporate greed! No import tariffs that level the playing field.
  18. Karlonomics and Opportunity costs

    In many places here in the USA, there are no higher paying jobs. Especially, in poor urban areas.
  19. Happened to run across this guy's site. Has anyone heard of this guy? He lives up in Lapland which isolates him from the world but claims to be the 'world teacher'. Not much time to post at this time. http://www.absolutoracle.com/

    @ taostillness, Patiently waiting for an answer if you would oblige. http://www.thedaobums.com/topic/40061-potent-systems/page-11#entry706863

    Given the nature of this site being a public forum and there are many here including myself who haven't a clue who Eric is, then why not post clear site links as well as ebook links. Thant would be appreciated very much.

    Which Doo Wai practice form is that? I have one of his DVD's as well as Flying Phoenix vol. one.

    In referring to so called free speech, one must choose one's words wisely so as to understand the far reaching ramifications of.
