@now is forever Bureaucracy is overhead, and contributes to slavery and it's enforcement. Whether it's Ancient Rome, China, Washington DC or London. Basic life needs, Food, water & shelter. Are heavily taxed and regulated, for the poor and middle class. Somalis breed way more than, Indo-Europeans. 6.2 Somali Birthrate to 1.5 German birthrate. Ethnic Germans much lower. Ecosystems have an intelligence of their own, like the movie Avatar. Hives; if not checked, strip resources bare and move on, failing that, prey on one another. It's not like World leader's don't know this. Only conclusion is demonic influence.

@Inliytened1 Well you say that. What if it's divergent, and not just relative. People like to throw relative around a lot. So there is not just one stream of time(cognition).

I don't really understand it either.... Something to do with the self referential nature of the universe. That while perceptions are limited, cognition is not. Therefore you can not get to truth using perception alone. Seeing through a glass darkly. Time is still something(cognition), I believe it was an illusion to Einstein, but then he was a Pantheist. At the absolute or microscopic level time does not exist, or so I've read, makes sense. I did try understanding Christopher Langans CTMU. I think I should give it another shot being only 50 pages or so, but pretty heavy. I doubt many people have read and understood Einsteins "General Theory of Relativity." I haven't. Most I think is sheer human intuition and second hand YouTube and documentary information.

Nationalism mean of a particular birth. Natal. If you want to hate your own birth, so be it.

Cognition occurs, whether you have memory or not.

Cognition.

Chicks with dicks. A good economy means resources are available.

Cult Leader.

Spinning Wheel.

Loss of connection to God, whilst knowing God exists. "The blood is the life, and it shalt be mine!" Not being able to resolve the problem of induction, without empirical observation. As for the specific metaphysical causes and concept, I'm unsure.

Uber death.

@Surfingthewave Perseverance.

I mean he'd be really screwed, if there was a grate on the end of that pipe.

@Yellow_Girl That was about salvation. And not mastering the mess he was in.

@John Iverson In the UK the Liberal Democrats in a general election, about a decade a go said that they would oppose Tuition fee increases for University. No only did they go back on their promise, they made no effort to oppose the increase, abstaining against the Conservatives, who had a enough votes anyway. Tuition fees went from £3,000 to £9,000. Nihilistically speaking why would they do anything, but pad their own pockets, if they do not accept any ultimate structure to reality, known as God. And instead lie, even if they deliver on paper, in reality what they deliver is often worse then if no changes had been made. Even with stage Blue at least some of what is written, is correct and not just dogma or doctrine. The problem there is picking and choosing. With Orange, it is thy own will be done. A person, is still a mix, and not a meme. I means there's that Charles Dickens Novel "Great Expectations". No idea, as to the plot.

@John Iverson You can't force people to do good for the benefit of all. What they say and what they do are two different things. You can however shoot them, in a duel(or used to). If they're not going to stake their life or soul on it. And do whatever regardless, voting is largely pointless. Still vote by all means, have zero expectations.

@John Iverson Well they do it in China.

@John Iverson The weather.

@John Iverson I DEMAND SATISFACTION!!!

@moon777light In ancient China, A Military "General" would dress in Black, Yin. His Lieutenant in White, Yang. Yes surrendering is Yin(formless). Preserving life Yang(form). Think of a wedding, The Groom traditionally dresses in Black, The Bride in white. If you want the "Now" how can it be formless?

@Yellow_Girl 3,000 books. Quite a few. You ever read Christopher Langan's works? I found his essays on "The Art of Knowing" helpful. Explained a lot of what I intuitively felt looking at philosophy for a bit. His Cognitive Theorectical Model of the Universe is a bit hard for me to process. But the essays were straightforward enough. Always looking for better, or different information.

Service guarantees citizenship?

If the weather is not nice, why bother.

The possibility of evil is implied by that of good. Where “good” is defined on the structure of global reality – and this is ultimately the only real way to define it – the absence of a good | evil distinction would mean that reality is structureless. But as we can easily observe that reality has structure, such a distinction must exist, which implies that both good and evil must exist. In short, good is that which is globally consistent with the structure of reality, and evil is the opposite. In the CTMU, God is defined as the Ultimate Reality. So good is that which accords with God, and evil is the opposite. Very simple. ------------------- Love, to be meaningfully defined, is NEVER unconditional. Meaningful definitions require conditions; that’s a rule of semantics that cannot be overcome by wishful thinking. ------------------------ In the CTMU, evil is ultimately defined as a virulent self-negation imperative. The application to self-hating progressives is really quite natural. -------------- A few quotes, by Christopher Langan.

Isn't that more sub-contracting?
