This is a good once a week thing to create.

Understood. But what is the activity that we're competing in?

I see. So for you truth is what can be demonstrated to others (or to a reasonable person) for verification.

I worry about the groupthink aspect to objectivity sometimes. We're looking to confirm with others. But direct experience can be true and subjective as well.

The problem here is it ties true to the social or to the imaginary reasonable person (third person).

I guess it kinda depends on what we're calling free will.

One question is who is the judger?

I feel like we have limited free will.

It depends on how we parse you, but yes on some level.

An epistemological question that I see underlying the theme of this question is: How do we know when our imagination has gotten ahead of us? This is a key question in epistemology. What are the boundaries of the imagination vs. direct experience?

Got it. So you feel like you're reporting reality, not engaging in philosophy per se.

This is the empiricist side to your philosophy. Interesting.

Do you feel like your finite presentation as a human is also being imagined, and how is this sectioned off from what you take God to be?

In your view, Is the One Consciousness which is imagining everything also imagining all the finite perspectives including the small you (the finite you or me) that appear to exist?

Is rationality a sense of bringing order to experience?

Because of Truth.

It's ok to make a profit from your business. Be careful of becoming so puritanical that you work for free. This is a trap.

Is there a way to Love both conservatives and liberals?

The Internet has made it harder to communicate about spiritual enlightenment.

I had durian one and only one time! Anyone who eats this a second time I give props to.
