  1. Youtube: Monkey Experiment Most unusual results VIDEO (1:55)
  2. Aren't you currently eight times more likely to be killed by a police officer than by a terrorist? How does the state help?
  3. How does government prevent planned obsolescence? Isn't the US Department of Defense the largest polluter in the world, producing more hazardous waste than the five largest US chemical companies combined?
  4. How does government prevent 'neutrality' from being compromised? Isn't there a serious and innate bias towards the winning voters?
  5. "Our social life is based on spending billions of energy units to persuade potential friends that hapiness is being friendly, and then insisting that the only way to have a viable social life is to make oneself attractive for people to be interested in so they'll get enough energy units to be friendly." Endostate With or without the government, with or without coercion, with or without violence and with or without anarcho capitalistic markets, I am 100% sure this will always be true, as long as we have free association......
  6. Doesn't influencing the direction/processes of a thief legitimize theft?
  7. Yes; No; and No. The Omega Point--the technical physics term for God the Father--is all action logically possible, and completed--and that to an infinite degree. As Stephen Hawking proved, the cosmological singularity is not is spacetime, and hence is not subject to time. It is eternal and unchanging. The Omega Point's perception of reality is as a timeless, unchanging, infinite whole. It is a state of perfect, infinite bliss. So, not omnipotent?
  8. Does the Omega Point know what it's going to do tomorrow? If so, could it do something else? Can the Omega Point leave the room?
  9. Indeed - alcohol and tobacco as well.

  11. A dialysis patient reminds you that only need one kidney to survive. Is hoarding your extra one immoral? Does the dialysis patient's right to live supercede your right to your extra kidney? Adherence to property rights already ensures equal rights to unowned things, doesn't it?
  12. Henry1958, you seem inconsistent: Why is it that you care so much about what other people do with their bodies?
  13. Sovereign denotes independence from outside authority.Citizen denotes the link between a man and a state authority.Which is it? Interesting seminar on the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flslzBYYWdE Bursting Bubbles of Government Deception (1:21:06)
  14. Which would you rather dump into an 'F1 race car engine'?
  15. Stephan seems to enjoy alcohol and caffiene... Has he been oversold to?
  16. Terms and Conditions May Apply (2013) is a documentary by director Cullen Hoback that highlights online privacy and what users really agree to when they accept a website or social network’s terms and conditions. This is an important and frightening film, and shows how Google, Amzaon, Flickr, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Linkdin etc harvest our personal information and onsell it to the highest bidder, and to the government. How we don't read that wodge of text in capitals comprising "Terms and conditions" before we click "Accept" - nobody could, it would take a month per year for everything we sign. But even when that text is brief and written in plain English, it gives those corporations unprecedented power over our personal information - including the right to change the rules without telling us, to increase their power without limit and without asking again, and to keep it forever, even after we have "deleted" it.

  17. Sounds like daydreaming - how does it affect or benefit reality? Ok I've accepted darkness and light together and I'm aware that light is non-physical. It doesn't appear to help me discern truth from falsehood or be more compassionate though. Am I missing something? TV can affect reality by bringing facts or laughs. What does going within do? What can be brought here from there? So far this sounds a bit like a "New Age" distraction to draw attention away from something.
  18. This other realm fascinates me, but how is it different from watching a TV show? Specifically, what's in there and how is it useful? Is it a comedy? Educational? Drama? Without knowing what it is, David, your post sounds kinda like this: I find the esoteric dimension watching TV richer and deeper than the exoteric, but you do need balance while you are still in material form. What you may find though, is that the more you taste the inner watch the TV, the less you need to worry about the outer---the inner TV has a way of taking care of it for you, which frees you to develop even more inwardly. That makes esoterism watching TV the most practical way to live on earth! Of course we are taught that materialism is the most practical way, but that's obviously proved to be false, as evidenced by the state of the modern world which is based on that ideology. That doesn't mean we should reject empiricism, it simply means that for empiricism to truly have meaning and sustainability, it has to be grounded in a deeper philosophy and TV experience which puts it in its rightful place. "Transcend and include" is the name of the TV game show here :-) I think we can really have a paradise on earth if we become open enough to exploring all the realms that existence on TV bequeaths us and how they ultimately relate to each other. In general, those realms are matter, body, mind, soul, and Spirit TV. There is of course a tradiltion to this integral approach, called The Perennial Philosophy. When modernity came in, though, the world lost the esoteric dimension TV, the world of interiors. Everything became an objective "it", an exterior, a "thing". Subjectivity and soul were marginalized and colonized to the point of near banishment.They became taboo subjects. We've thus lost an awareness of the TV show about the depths of who and what we truly are. For me it's those depths that really give life its full meaning, not the surfaces, though the surfaces are of course essential aspects of the whole picture, and have to be included as just as important as the other realms (gotta pay TV bill). Of course we're really talking here about a wholistic, integral philosophy that is all inclusive of existence. My view on it, at least.
  19. To me this means as much as: people who don't watch TV don't know what they are missing, they are living on the surface of life only. If I may be so bold, can you describe what they are missing? What does it have that the surface of life doesn't?
  20. If you start to feel too much oneness... seek help immediately! It may be a broken blood vessel in the left half of your brain.

  21. How does the transition happen? How does a business go from serving voluntary customers to forcing service and stealing the payment? Wouldn't theft be considered immoral by a capitalist society and be rejected immediately? Take me through the steps.
  22. Step 1. Create successful hospital/road/bank/ipad/whatever business Step 2. Profit Step 3. Use profits to write constitutions, acts and statutes and hire employees to enforce them Step 4. Convince the population that regulation, counterfitting and theft done by you is moral and good Step 5. Profit... more? How does step 4 get done?
