@Aeris Brave New World is a hive organisation, moving towards a "Tech singularity", it is a communist society. (after the main antagonist Berhnard Marx)Where people are genetically bred mostly in test-tubes to fulfil varying roles in society. The Alphas are business leaders and administrators, The Beta's the lieutenants. Females are divided into ones that can breed referred to as "Free Martins".(Free discipline) and ones that can't. Deltas fulfil the role of mechanics and technicians. Gammas are a kind of mutated Alpha, and the main antagonist in the plot Berhnard Marx. Omega's are referred to as "World Controllers."(Serve Satan). The majority of the population is kept drugged on a substance called soma, education is strictly controlled and sexualised from an early age. All the best quality land is reserved for the majority of the World's population. With a mythical Island(That may or may not exist) reserved for misfits. The least viable land is left as an Indian reservation, where the main protagonist "John" grows up, who eventually hangs himself at the end of the book.

@Aakash The self get's unbound in hell, with no shared identity. You can not simultaneously perceive, and not perceive something. Reality would branch off from a fundamental reality.

Very Slow.... But he did get me thinking about etymology (root of words). And brought to light contemplation.

Shares an Identity with, The Christ(Object), an atemporal being, co-substantial with The Father(Time). Water into wine sort of thing.

The first Bioshock game is modelled on the ideas of Objectivism(Andrew Ryan,((Ayn Rand) Anarcho-Capitalism and Anarcho-Syndicalism.(Atlas). While not Anarchist, Objectivism splits into the capitalistic and social elements, a dispute that is resolved by force in the game piece of entertainment/pastime, to destruction. "No Gods or Kings only man." - Bioshock. In an unenlightened society, the most sociopathic reign supreme, faster to process or sum over information/resources/initiative/distance. Best some where in the middle between Anarchism and Tyranny, of various kinds. Crucially leaving God out of it, will lead to disaster, as any possibility for communication goes up in smoke.

Mind = Reality. Reality is finite, a mind is finite. An infinite number of marbles, is no marbles at all. To say Ultimate Reality is Infinite, I think involves a degree of choice and depends on one's metaphysics.

Fossil fuel bonanza.

Yes. But I do not understand it.

What about claiming a belief in Atheism? You're refuting something.

The best politician for all would be something that approximates the Grim Reaper. Where as if he were Santa Clause, someone would feel jealous and the goods have to come from somewhere, either a legion of Elfs, or Chinese & Indian Sweatshop workers. Although electing the Grim Reaper would infringe on free-will. Even as he reaps what is sown. I suppose if India and Pakistan get into a nuclear exchange over Kashmir. Either enjoy the fireworks, or team up with the biggest thug on the block in the chaos. If not, maybe China will go full tyrant when it can, their language is connotated and not denotated. Even if a person is not conscious, they can still sleepwalk and perform tasks. Even drive a car.

Live and Let Die.

If the Ego takes responsibility, then no. I think it's more about finding out why you made the choices you did. A person makes many choices unconsciously and consciously. In sports and in life.

@Yog A consumption tax, rather than an income tax. As resources are finite. High Tax on gasoline. Plastic products. Electronics. Luxury goods. Chemicals. Entertainment retail. Match tariffs in proportion to a nations GNP per capita. Similar GNP per capita, no Tariffs. Massive tariffs on poorer countries. No taxes on farming produce, or the issuing of subsides. No Property or Council tax. Pay as you go garbage collection barcodes on sacks or microchipped. An inheritance tax. No state school system. National service scheme. Tree planting, fire fighting, military, police and social care.

@AnthonyR Space-Time as a non-duality, does not exist at the microscopic level. "Nature abhors a vacuum."

Should be "know" you. In my previous post, my bad.

Quantity(Economic and efficient). Survival in cold climates, dense energy reserve in the form of butter or cheese. @Billy Shears https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1569871/Drink-rats-milk-says-Heather-Mills.html

I figure it has a metaphysical implications. I mean why not go through every letter of the Greek Alphabet. Alpha's being diehard objectivists consciously or not, A is A. Beta's more subjectivists.

@jim123 Eastern Orthodox or Hinduism. "Image of God."(a projection of God/divine energy, teleology) Distributed Solipsism. Jainism. Trans-Theist. The darkside. You are god. Attain "Christ Consciousness", blaspheme of the Holy spirit. (unforgiveable sin). As for forgiveness(or prophecy) to be possible, time must be recursive. Better not step, on even an ant, although if you do, what's a few more.... The thing with Trinity Christians, is what God are they talking about? Father, Son, Spirit. All three at once? Eastern Orthodox, sidesteps it a bit with a panentheistic model of reality.

Not entirely sure. I remember something from an anthology on the Pali Canon. That said you are vain because you like and dislike. I suppose push on, and take a holistic approach. Like riding a bike, if you try and think about everything when you start, you'll keep falling off.

@noip It shouldn't matter. But as I don't you, I can't have an opinion. Try being bold, if you post anonymously what does it matter. What are you looking to get by asking the question?

The opposite would be something like. “I am the spirit that negates. And rightly so, for all that comes to be Deserves to perish wretchedly; 'Twere better nothing would begin. Thus everything that that your terms, sin, Destruction, evil represent— That is my proper element.” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Faust.
