  1. Some of our people need to learn to think OPENLY and INDEPENDENTLY. They may claim not to be religious but they obviously adhere to the Judeo-Christian moral paradigm when they condemn certain behaviors as "greedy" and "lustful". What many people call "greed" and "lust" are just culturally biased moral judgements on natural desires. Sex is a natural desire. But from the Judeo-Christian moral paradigm....it's often condemned as "lust". The desire to store resources for oneself and family is a natural desire. But from the Judeo-Christian moral paradigm...it's often condemned as "greed". In order to progress and solve our problems as a community, some of us need to learn to think more OPENLY and INDEPENDENTLY. Too many of our people's thinking is limited and restricted by the moral constraints placed on our ancestors by our historic oppressors and their slave-making religions. Minister Farrakhan said he who controls the diameter of your thinking controls the circumference of your activities. In other words......... Limited thinking produces limited action. If you can't think or conceive beyond a certain point, you certainly can't be expected to ACT beyond that point.
  2. True... The Prohibition against Greed and Lust is not a Judeo-Christian Invention. Maybe....but I think it runs deeper than that. First let's not confuse Lust with Sex Sexual Desire/Drive.....Desiring sex and having sex is Natural beneficial and good - be fruitful and multiply. Secondly not all things Natural are beneficial or good for humans and human societies and human civilization. Lust is not Natural... Lust and Greed are Destructive True True True Not True True Morals tend to be Good Constraints can be Good....it all depends on what those constraints are? True True I can't think of a point beyond which people can't think?? There maybe a point beyond which people can't act.... I have heard and seen people acting before and without thinking... True
  3. I've always taken that quote to mean setting one's mind to put in the work necessary to accomplish anything an individual wants to do. Talking & dreaming doesn't bring an abundance of anything. Gotta put in work to make it happen. There's a point at which one has enough. Eat enough food & one is full. Being greedy & overeating makes a person sick. Lust can lead to degenerate behavior. IMO, greed & lust are negative extremes of human desire when a person is willing to bring hurt, harm or danger to others in their pursuit of weslth, material possessions &/or human affection. Also IMO, a wise & content person knows when they have everything they need to live comfortably in peace, joy & happiness.😎
  4. To let folks pour a bunch of foolishness into it....no thanks.🤣 I'm perfectly fine not believing in spirits & Santa Claus & Big Foot & UFOs, etc.😁 Still, there's no shortage of entertainment around.😎
  5. There will always be folks who are unproductive either because they’re incapable of being productive or they are simply not inclined to be. I don’t think we should be wasting time and resources trying to make them otherwise. We should care for the ones who are incapable of being productive, and the ones who don’t want to be productive should just be encouraged to stay out the way of everyone else.
  6. My other "Twin" HeyGen AI-ed this one of our Flexx promotional photos taken in the 90s. She updated us I'm on the right. 😄
