  1. You are right to say you are not sure....cause you are in error Here is the first post of mine of page 2 "True And since race is about Politics(social power) and Economics(financial power). In the US both historically and currently for the most part he would be considered and treated as black once his ancestry is publicly recognized and accepted." I need go no further....Social Power - proves my assertions It cannot do so with any degree of accuracy or certainty.... If it is a thought then it is a action If he is celibate then it means for whatever reason he prefers to be celibate right now It has everything to do with it.....he is refraining from sexual activity as a result of his preference He is expressing his preference by being celibate.... An unexpress preference is a desire ok Both has their roots in Culture and Religion depending on Time and Place
  2. Quotations are used to define exactly what is being spokne of... See below...no quotes The heart’s little brain: shedding new light and CLARITY on the ‘black box’ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7610721/ Of course its not the brain... Yes....the heart own brain that has thoughts and memory Yes.... You said it doesn't...... so prove it. Or just admit you expressing feces...
  3. Can't say if I have when in a discussion with you.... If I have please repost with link and date... but be sure that I did not say before in the same or other thread that race is a social construct. If I use the word race with you it could be to facilitate converstaion....so I am using it in its social construct definition. Race as a social Construct is often considerd unreal/notreal ....because it is made up, definitions often changes, people who were considered of one race or the other are now of another race, Children of the same parentage can be considered of different races, Often the same individual is thought of as belonging to different races according to where they are and Racial designations are based on the political whims of the current day. The Census Bureau basically defines race as a self Identification category that reflects a persons personal self identification or social and cultural identity and allows you to choose any or how ever many different races you identify as. Well I specify many times I think I did so in our last discussion which you seem to have forgotten.... In any case I do so now and hold that I have held this position for a several decades now. Race cannot be proven to have any genetic base.... Show my turn around link post and date..... Homophobia is the same thing.... Allow me to paraphrase you........"you are actively Doing or Saying or Thinking something to or about someone else of your own sex." The water been muddy already by you Yes If you are a man and you Prefer to have sex with men....then you are not fulfilling your Social Role Thank you So this man is capable of sex but does not engage in sex....is therefore a Celibate or Ascetic Rumors abound that he is homosexual and people believe thses rumors to be true.....Then he will be treated as all other homosexuals are treated. Yes he is first victim of Rumors and disinformation/misinformation.....That resulted in him becoming a victim of homophobia. If He is Celibate....then he has no sexual preference or orientation while celibate - unless he expresses his preference.
  4. What does "distinguishable " means to you @Pioneer1 Post you meaning and link to supprt meaning
  5. I cannot say there isn't some of that..... Not true....or I would not call it Research There have been no real Research/Study only Investigations of eyewitnesses report.....AATIP/ARRO Now since the Congressional and Senate hearings....we have the first NASA's UAP Independent Study Team started in 2025 Lets talk in another 3 yrs....if we all still around. Many of the newest reports are not grainy NASA Study team is about to use all that.....funding is currently miniscule - so it is going to initially be Open Source Those grainy photos will still be coming in... but some well define and in vivid colors will be coming too... I tried take a picture of a brightly colored bird with my phone....shyte still came out grainy - my daughter then said put it in portrait mode next time.. True They were not set up for those purposes....now it maybe refocus and or repurpose in part Information already gather will be mined with that purpose. Of course if ever I am in Chi-town I will.... Sadly Though I most admit at this moment I am more interested in Mokele-Mbembe and LochNess.....being caught/captured - not killed.
  6. Intelligently direct UFO/UAP
  7. Of course they drew a distinction....they said it was in the heart - the little brain in the heart. Yes....that why it is considered a brain - it acts and functions like the brain Do you have any post and link to back up those statements are are they just pure pablum see ya
  8. Show copy post where I rejected race as a social construct? The dictionary does....agree with me Yes Currently science is tearing down those unjust and misleading suppositions and conventions First note it is an Action Second not the use of the word "especially" sexism noun sex·ism ˈsek-ˌsi-zəm 1 prejudice or discrimination based on sex especially : discrimination against women 2. behavior, conditions, or attitudes that foster stereotypes of social roles based on sex https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sexism If you're still DIS-ORIENTED about the true meaning of "orientation", let me know...lol. And it turns out that you're WRONG...as is often the case, lol. The actual definition of orientation is: If you're still DIS-ORIENTED about the true meaning of "orientation", let me know...lol. Your own definition has the term "usually does" in it that denotes action.. Yes it is....he is not fulfilling his social role. Time to stand up and stop running. Me....you provide links that prove that orientation is an action
  9. It is serious....they published it in pubmed Yes that is why it is a brain.....because it has neurons like what's in the brain. In some ways it acts and function like the brain....hence it's called "little brain" Quotes so you understand what they are specifically referring to See you around...
  10. I think there is enough evidence... There seems to be a Financial Technological and Power interest why the evidence already Available and Collected is not being Accepted.. Only since the 2000's has real governmental and organizational efforts in the scientific fields has began to be made.. It has passed that stage.....we now have multiply corroborated instrumentational evidence..... They have... Yes... Because something is conspiratorial does not make in untrue or unreal. We know have instrumental recordings True... No they are not proof....but they are evidence that the idea holds value and should be investigated further.
  11. To your opinions....not with who Only as social constructs....not genetically As a genetic and biological fact....no I do not accept it Even Your dictionary and link agrees with me....it is not biology but social. Making sure it is clear in your mind It does matter... In truth it is a Convention/(invention) or agreement that is imposed There is biological reality which are absolute and universally true and valid in all places and all the time Social Constructs are relative and temporary and not valid or true in all places and all the times cool I ask you first... then I will give you mine Orientation is an act or process....hence behavior. look it up. Everywhere you run...you run into a brick wall - face the truth bro....LOL But he is still a man...thats hated by other men - that is same sex hate You can run but you cannot hide or getaway.....lol Yes it is sexism....that is the thing about the truth - it is stubborn and gives no hiding place Then tell me your definition with link and post? Yet you will not provide a definition....I wander why - you running but you can't getaway from the truth
  12. If that is your point...then you still wrong I am not the one who named it as such..... Doctors with PhD has named it and called it as such... discovered that the heart has its "little brain" or "intrinsic cardiac nervous system." This "heart brain" is composed of approximately 40,000 neurons that are alike neurons in the brain, meaning that the heart has its own nervous system. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31728781/ The potential to interact with the ‘heart’s little brain’ through direct stimulation, pharmacological or ablative approaches will increase as our understanding of the fundamental science deepens. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7610721/ You silly... I do not have to Pubmed and the doctors did it for me Thats up to you....call it what you want
  13. One eyewitness can send a man to the gallows.....but for you 1400 is not enough. cool....we have had this conversation before - no use going over what has been already discussed in a whole new thread.. is it the quantity of or quality of Eyewitness that is important? bring up the ufo thread and I will try to be a little more convincing
  14. Ok cool happens to me often when in a rush....and I am almost always in a rush "I read chariots of the gods a long time ago. Sounds like alien civilization is using the same arguments: there’s a carving that looks like a flying salsa therefore, it must be a flying saucer." But isn't that the point unitil we have more detail or evidence....to call it what it brings to mind. Yes there is....I conider you a doubter Reason being you do not believe because they have not reveal themselves to you.... Some claim to have done so...Our military says such things are a matter of National Security - only what is leaked is in the public domain Yes....you could say that Please do Ask this question in the UFO thread... Let me answer it this why...... "As of May 2023, there have been close to 1,400 sightings," https://www.statista.com/chart/8452/ufo-sightings-are-at-record-heights/ my guess it is not enough to convince you
  15. Ok The Article deals with race as a Social Construct... It would support your ideas and lend credibility.... Do you know what a social construct is? if so please post and link you definition. Caught you.... Yes it is sexism Yes Yes....they are hated for their sexual behavior Not sure what you are saying here Usually male who have sexual relationships with other males are hated as a class/group. Yes.....because it is assumed they do not engage in sexual relationships with other males' I would not use the word love...as it is often confused or used in place of sex. It is sexism I think you are confusing Mysogyny and Sexism... Please use your dictionary and post and link what you have found as to the definition of sexism...
  16. You missing the point....I did not set out to prove that the heart just has a brain.....but that the heart has memory and personality which goes directly to the heart being able to have thoughts.. Also in medical terms referred to also means localized... "The notion of the "heart brain," also referred to as the "little brain" or "intrinsic cardiac nervous system," was initially proposed by Dr. J. Andrew Armour in 1991. This conceptualization suggests that the heart possesses its own neural network, comprising around 40,000 neurons capable of sensing, feeling, learning, and retaining memories. The neurons found in the heart share similarities with those present in the brain..... . The heart maintains continuous bidirectional communication with both the brain and the entire body..... , this implies that the heart transmits more signals to the brain than it receives in return" It is emergent science....not colloquial talk If it pumps and the heart is also a pump....then it is a localized heart (as in a pump) It is to be taken seriously Cool
  17. What did you think of X-files??? I find "Ancient Astronaut" very interesting and somewhat informative.....Bradley, Sitchen and Daniken had Already sold me on the idea - the whole idea was initially introduced to me by Lobsang Rampa True... You do....believe Great book.. What does the writing that goes or comes with the "flying salsa" say it is? Very reasonable assumptions?? We may not have much proof but we do have a lot of Evidence.....especially eyewitness - though they may not reach the threshold of scientific reliability. Yeah .....you are doubting thomas. No..... they may have just chose to live in the ociean now a days. I do not think they would be very intelligent if they did what you expected. They are....plenty of witness True....because there is a lot more out there than we know. Some do it for money some do it out of love....what matters is if the information is a true reflection of reality.
  18. Yes....but in this case the dinosaurs bones are proof that these creatures existed Chimeras are currently a major ethnically scientific topic...they are real on the level of organs just not as yet as or having appendages.. So we are witnessing the re-emergence. I believe because it makes sense......Knowledge Science and Nature knows no bounds True....that does not always means it is not or was not real? Our imagination is Science and Nature....Limitless What consumption of substance ...... You do not consume herbs? The Natural Herbs is for the healing of the nation💨
  19. True True For Scientific establishments it has not yet been accepted....They demand more test evidence and confirmation To scientists in the field it is already proof. The Ancients single out the heart as the most important organ in the body....their wisdom is not yet known by scientists - but they found a brain in the heart This brain in the heart is talking to the brain in skull 9 times more than the brain is talking to the heart... The question then arises who is the boss.....Which one is giving directives cool cool
  20. Then why are you surprise by the stance he takes?? If the evidence you provided is similar to the one you provided in this thread...then I know why it is not convincing. Maybe you should try finding a scientific study on race specifically....that supports your point or opinion. Ok...I thought we had this discussion before If I find it....it will not be as convincing as when you find it yourself..... Yes I did....this opinion was directly influence by James Baldwin and Tim Wise - I adapted it to fit our discussion James Baldwin whiteness as a state of mind. Tim Wise Part 3 - The History of Whiteness True....they do overlap - Intersectionality This is a real life example being used to refute the idea that you have to be a different sex(male vs female) to be hated as in sexism Males hate males who engage in certain type of sex....where they play the role of a woman What it shows is that you do not have to be a different sex to be hated because of your sex...as faux female are.
  21. That is to be seen or realized... Here is a engraving over 5000 yrs old with men hold fast to capture creatures resemble dinosuars.. https://historicaleve.com/what-does-the-palette-of-narmer-reveal/
  22. Yes it is evidence... To the Ancients the heart was more important than the brain Modern science is now questioning who is giving orders to who in the human body....is it the heart or the brain? Every cell and organ is conscious.....according Ancients Knowledge The whole phenomena of Cellular memory is a result of Transplantation technology . Yes...not just the cell - down to the molecules Your comment above takes it one step further.....physicist may call quantum entanglement. Look I cannot make it any clearer with out coming off as being condescending....Which you may interpete as an insult.
  23. Did you know that prior to this thread....that he had that opinion on race? You also knew that I shared that opinion on race? Hindu scriptures... Is this the quote: "Both Blacks and Whites did not know they were Black or White till they Arrive in the West...and became Aware of the 'Ideology of Racism that governs Western Society." The difference is Singular Historical Experience - Transatlantic/Triangular Slave Trade/Route and its effects and purposes." Politicians come in all skin colors and features with various backgrounds....not sharing all the same ancestory and most definitely not based in genetics or biology Good....even with christianity and Islam - they war with each other though they are of the same religion. It is based on sex....your own difinition just admitted to it
  24. I like the fact that you said "yet"..... You never know....never say never..
  25. Ok....I stand corrected. I do not thinks so... I think he is expressing his own opinion... Cool...so you want him to go against his own opinion? I think they are unwarranted. Is it possible he Could think or believe he is being fair and unbiased? The Bible is one scripture.....every religion and culture have their scriptures - I find value in them all. Please post and link quote. Yes..... Just as how the definition of race also told you that politicians are a race. Yes....hence it is socially constructed. it has no basis in genetics or biology.. No.....your point was "You can't practice religious intolerance if only one religion exists." They are of the same religion yet the war on each other....so you do not need two religions - to experience "Religious intolerance" You do not need two sexes to practice intolerance against against sex.... "You can't practice sexism, if only one sex exists." Homophobia is intolerance prejudice or discrimination based on sex ...especially same sex....sexism Mysogyny is hatred of women So you ignored the gingers(redheads) persecution....did quite fit in your paradigm.
