I shall preface my comments by affirming my heretofore assault on all of humanity. Racism is all over the globe. We are as a species shockingly cruel and easily led. Those Milgram experiments are indicative of how we fold under questioning or shrink at appearance of authority even when our sentiments are opposed. Give the historical victims a…[Read more]

Plato’s cave first came to my mind too. But the a priori is another story.

Simon, how are you using the fallacy of scientism? In what sense?

Please make a case for life continuing after death. Any indications or arguments for its continuation? Cuz if what you are asserting is on a par with other unfalsifiable wish fantasies then it is pretty much worthless. Just because we can not know with hermetic certainty that it…[Read more]

Robert and Autumn are spot on.

I think the only reasonable position is to say we don’t know. SAYS SIMON.

Utter certainty is not within our scope. On the other hand it is an error in conceptualization to posit matters like god and life after death as fifty/fifty propositions. The you can’t prove it versus the you can not disprove it dichotomy i…[Read more]

Dictatorship? It is such a sad commentary on our species that there is no apparent effort to change our trajectory. How is it that we still have em? To give license to 1 person to cause untold damage is insanity. Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Kim, Putin and on and on. They should have been emasculated. Nay, they never should have come to power. Without…[Read more]

Robert I assume you are referring to someone in a video as opposed to one of us. I can’t imagine anyone of us defending Putin.

Unseen, that last guy you linked made perfect sense to me in terms of the intentions of Putin invading other nations. I never bought that. And the case for it is much weaker now. The old cameo how history repeats itself is a generalization with some validity. However, this aint your ancestor’s Genghis or Alexander or Europeans fighting to outdo…[Read more]

500, 800, 1000 a day…

Fodder, meat grinder, fungible goods. How will we prevent additional meat for the grinder? Status quo. Full speed ahead. Population control.

Royal family fetish. Lionize. Ruminate. Speculate. Peak in the windows to satisfy the voyueristic impulse. Royal family! Lets look at its history in brief. Primogeniture-sexism,…[Read more]

There is a lot of shit on the net suggesting Dore is a right winger. But whatever. Isn’t it an argument from authority anyhow? Don’t we want to make our own assessment? But how in the fuck do we ascertain facts that have to be the basis of our opinion? My impression is that the Yale historian (something Snyder) that Harris interviewed is well…[Read more]

Enco, the problem is not necessarily with the programming. It would in my hypothetical be by the best logicians, philosophers, statesmen. The problem is it is utterly unrealistic. Never gonna happen. Bertrand Russell was hopeful that a world gov. would emerge. And he was not alone in that hope. But aine nevah gonna happen.

I wrote run by A. I.…[Read more]

Would you prefer a world government run by A. I. and programmed to effectuate universal human rights? Programmed to prevent war? Programmed to protect the marginilized and in-need yet continue free markets that reward hard work and initiative? Programmed to enhance the development and distribution of health care made universal and lacking in a…[Read more]

What this war boils down to is-shit, piss, corruption, snots, 21 assholes tied in a knot.
