Well one might argue that schools are indeed like prisons, or open prisons...Enforced conditioning of the gullible is essential to achieving a reasonable state of social cohesion...Not so many will go on to self read and question the system...And those that do have little influence over the compliant masses.

Of course, the above is a generalisation based upon longer periods of social stability and doesn't include brief interludes of social unrest and regime change. Nonetheless the outcome of social unrest and change will only seek to re-establish the same system in a slightly different format.

Perhaps that which dictates social order and more importantly progress rather than anarchy and chaos, is reliant up on a natural selection of Hitler's, Sub-Hitler's and various tiers of obeyant underlings.

Exactly.

Though at forum level, if it were "necessary" to define every opinionated statement or word (including "define" I suppose) then we would be forever defining.

So we respond to generally understood words and opinions, generally with generally understood words and opinions, that in the main come with a generally understood meaning or intent.

Maybe at a debating level, one might expect greater clarification.

That's like one of those cat food statistics.

Did they all do a degree in qualified and normal at university.

Though 100 lunatics out of every 900 is nonetheless a worrying statistic.

I wonder who or what will find it first.

I nominate SatanLucy as the most improved site member.

Yes, I will whistle my next comment.

Maybe homogenisation will be the saviour of mankind.

Though one wonders how much time is left to do so before a total AI takeover.

I'm thinking not enough.

Perhaps it's too late, and doesn't matter anyway.

I'm guessing it was a similar scenario in previous universes.

That's assuming multi-ethic primates were dominant of course.

And asteroid hits were not as catastrophic.

I think that they are currently finding that a very onerous task.

Do you think that in the next universe things will pan out any differently?

That thinking and intellectually progressive organic beings will not create an unknown super-intelligence in their own image.

Fortunately thoughts are still free, as is the ability to ignore.

Fact is though, some people love being the victims of hate speech, so that they can respond in a preferred way.

Nonetheless, "government" as in authoritative and controlling national bodies are there to define lines.

Anarchy or revolution will only redefine those lines.

Hi Shoresy.

Hmmmm, well, that I suppose was allegorical.

But yes, mother and child and hunter gatherer instincts still persist but have long since been conceptually modified, almost out of recognition.

Supremacism is perhaps the necessity of survival and the dominant gene.

Yes, smart indeed.

And God said.

All Jews shall have long noses.

All except Aaron.

And he will have a square one.

Faux is an old style ex-European white supremacist who thinks that women belong in the kitchen...Rather similar values to DT...Which is fair enough, for they are men of a similar age, raised at a similar time in an ex-European white supremacist America...They share the same conditioned values and expectancies...And both see personal financial and social success as a life priority...And both see the less successful or unsuccessful as architects of their own fate, rather than victims of circumstance and certainly not the responsibility of prosperous America....As for foreigners and especially foreigners of swarthy and swarthier appearance, such are never to be trusted or encouraged...As such, Faux makes perfect sense.

Yes the US has become the Jewish host and privisor..

Such is the Jewish ability to take over and control systemically.

Yep, people are as people do as people have always done.

So call a pie a tart and serve them up with either a blue or red serviette.

Well, the smartphone affords many the excitement of virtual reality and one is never very far from a surveillance camera.

For sure, robots are relative to human thought constructs.

And NDE's are not dead thought constructs, whereas DE's are unknowable.

Strawman and steelman and plasticman etc, are just more philosophical nonsense that somewhat hopelessly seek to determine the indeterminable.

The term "atheist" describes a person that has a conditioned tendency to be sceptical of indeterminate solutions, as opposed to the theist who is conditioned to not consider alternatives with any reasonable amount of mental effort...Wherein, I would suggest that the term sceptical theist would be something of an irreconcilable contradiction.

Nonetheless, the GOD principle is an undeniable force relative to the nature of events and their duration...Whereas god the Abrahamic magic bloke was a fanciful hypothesis constructed not so very long ago...Which isn't to say that magic bloke/blokes/women haven't long since been naively fanciful solutions to the fundamental question of material creation and existence...Though if I were to draw a timeline a metre long representing universal creation and duration, then thinking ape and it's associated man-gods would occur simultaneously somewhere inside the final millimetre of said timeline.

Well, you asked how can a materialist argue that light exists...Wherein an obvious contradiction arose in respect of "a materialist and materialism"...Which is to say that you and electromagnetic radiation are both perceivably occurrent, and therefore philosophically one cannot argue for the non-occurence of the other...To do so would imply that you and I have not actually corresponded.

Hmmmm...Such is the impossibility of the conundrum, though I am inclined to err on the side of temporal reality, whilst also remaining open minded.

If you are, then should is irrelevant.

In so much as the fundamental basis of universality is materialism...Fast forwards and therefore hence philosophy, whereby answers are somewhat thin on the ground.

Economically the Catholic church is dedicated to the rapid turn over of cheap far eastern made trinketry through it's pilgrimage resorts gift shops. And will sell anything else that the faithful (gullible) will part with their money for...The Catholic Church is the wealthiest global religious organisation, with assets estimated at $2.5 trillion...Hence the Catholic motto...Fuck Socialism.

And any other conceptual maximal custard monster.

Evangelical scientists is a contradiction of terms.

Yes, we develop preferences relative to experiences.

Rap...Isn't that an outdated 1970's thing?

Hmmm Faux...Go see your optician...Because I clearly didn't make any reference to "Christians".

If "Ur a moron lol." and "schizo nonsense" is what theistic counterargument boils down to these days, it clearly indicates that you have no logical counterargument to Stephens interpretation of bible stories.

And the word scripture is a 14th century Latin derivative, meaning to write, and does not in any way make 2000 year old hand me down bible stories remotely factual...To think otherwise is indictive of delusory conditioning...Which to be fair is never the fault of the misinformed, as such misinformation is self perpetuating...If you teach your kids non-sense then they will grow up believing in non-sense, and they are likely to misinform their kids too.

And so we end up in a intellectually refined and progressive present day environment whereby gullible fools still argue the toss and fight and kill all for the sake of 2000 year old misinformation that is based wholly upon an illogical hypothesis that relies upon the existence of a universal magician.
