  1. I I don't feel the need to justify my position or behaviour. Apparently in that moment I didn't have something better to do, since I responded. I thought it was an interesting question. About years ago in the Brooklyn Moon cafe I was having a tea. The following thought popped into my head, "Why do you think that you are right?" I realised we generally think we are right until experience or revelations dispel this ongoing illusion. Recently I was ruminating on why this seems to be the case. Why most people seem to resistance to obvious truths. Perhaps because our life an open book we need an internal narrative, oherwise we would be crushed by nihilism or lack of meaning. So it is more practical although not beneficial to have a false sense of justification. Another group that I member of had the follow response. Nearly every said that if they didn't have delusions the wouldn't have hope. Which was a striking comments since I felt that I was shedding delusions. Simultaneously I was also feeling a lack of hope, both personally and on a lager scale. In closing in a strange way I feel an affinity to Pioneer moment's of introspection and subsequent revelations. This is the second one I recall. As an aside most of the time when I respond it isn't so much to convince but rather to solve a conundrum that the post presents. Sometimes my response is not solely for the querent. I used to love a good argument. Now I prefer finding illuminating patterns. @Cynique I posted a clip that explains my time markers. I am going deeper into the rabbit hole. With patterns and numbers. Since the beginning of this year I felt that July and August would be important month for me. Especially July 12 - 26. It has been an interesting period and I am seeing some changes. Time markers it is a set of symbols. Each symbol is an idea and a number. The number component is non decimal so I have been thinking in this symbol set and non base 10. So anything that can be named or quantified has additional meaning. So I am getting answers, to questions I haven't asked. I don't know if it is related but I have also been able to manifest a few things. Are you still phase shifting. What was weird or confronting probably seems common place and comfortable. Your thinking patterns are your perspective. WHAT IS METATHINKING? Metathinking enables complex thinking skills. It involves the practice of reflecting on one’s own thoughts. When we recognise patterns in our thinking, we can notice what might be missing from our thinking and, from there transform our thinking and become more fluid, complete and creative thinkers. https://metathinking.org/
  2. I had the same thought yesterday. The thought I had this morning was that life has a theme. I am not certain f you choose it, it is chosen for you, or perhaps it is the interface with your talents and opportunities.
  3. https://youtu.be/ZTX3PLVDzZw @Cynique here an explanation of my time markers. It starts at 3:00 Let me know if you have any questions.
  4. You must have used Google to search for the post.
  5. @richardmurray I enjoy these posts do you have an interest in Astronomy?
  6. Sounds interesting will have a listen. Thanks
  7. I told you what to search for. You have way more knowledge of search engines than I do yet you couldn't find what I posted because you didn't look. I understand that you like to maximise your time. In the past when you have made a similar request I have posted the link. However y feeling now is that if your level of interest is not deep enough to search you own site. Then I surmise that you are interest is only as deep as what is available. I look at patterns and that has been a dynamic with you and I. At some point you will ask me to repost or go into more detail. In the past I have however , I now engage at the level of others interest and initiative. Often before I post a response I will do a quick search of a few sources on the internet. Since I often think in general term but make errors with the specifics. As a consequence when I am responded to a question. I have either learned something new or deepened my awareness of the topic and\or a related subject I had the same experience with my parents. They would tell me to do something. And they made me repeat it until it was acceptable. It would have been quicker if they did it themselves. However I wouldn't have shored up my deficiency and I would in effect have them doing the work That would have been of value to me. I am pretty certain that you don't see it from this angle. But rather the practical one of it takes more time. However much a Ilike learning and conversation I am not prepared to become your executive assistant. Your response is probably I am not your executive assistant. Since we have had that conversation before. Although I am fairly certain that you don't remember it.
  8. Anything that exist on the world is a function of human consciousness. Just because we experience events sequentially doesn't mean they happen sequentially. It could be that the Dreamworld is the real world and waking life is a fiction. There would be no way of proving this. There have been various shamans across cultures that going into a non local space and time to get information about the past or the future. It is very difficult to say what is real when we have no way of objectively understanding consciousness. Even if you could use some other way of looking at consciousness. You would still use consciousness to understand your findings.
  9. Yes that's is true but I also said if you were interested enough you could find it .
  10. I posted my conversations with CHATGPT in Culture Race and Economy on AALBC. If you search your site ChatGPT as the subject and me as the author you will find the thread. If you are so inclined.
  11. I asked it abstract questions. I posted them. I can't remember what I asked, but a search should bring it up. I was the author of the post.
  12. It looks interesting. His last name is Old Man. When he said he moves every ten years I figured he doesn't die.
  13. @Troy I'm asking abstract questions whereas you may be asking practical one's.
  14. AI is artificial but I don't think it's intelligent. ChatGPT was underwhelming.
  15. We have a ring of garbage around the earth. And we have to grow fish on farms. Climate change is so a problem. Sounds bad to me. And there's talk that admitting Ukraine into NATO could start World War III.
  16. There is a difference between societal norms and how things play out interpersonally. I remember masculine women who never had a man and may have been lesbians. I have seen feminine men. I have seen a couple where the woman that was handy and man was into art. Ironically he didn't want her doing men's work. Yet she had to nag him to paint. I have so seen roles where the woman is the boss or handles the finances. Mores and norms are arbitrary. I believe there is an African tribe where the women hunt and the men farm. I also recall a tribe where the women have multiple husband's I guess the key is finding what works for you and your partner.
  17. No man can know God, nor does man have power of God, there is only belief. What would you say was the source of power for : Martin Luther King; Malcolm X; Gandhi; Jesus; Muhamad Ali; George Foreman; Cynique; Maya Angelou; Audre Lorde; James Baldwin; Elijah Muhammad; and Louis Farrakhan
  18. The second lead was Denzel's Washington father in Mo Better Blues.
  19. I had a friend who would purposely take the opposite position. He respected my intellect. So it was more of a contest than combat. My pleasure. Say this out loud and hear how it sounds I like to know stuff and figure things out. I have had enough experiences thinking I was right and I was not. I also had the experince of getting what I wanted ad it turned out not good. I have also had losses that turned out to be beneficial. No I have no idea. I can only know the value at the end of my life. I think a lot and I at times think about my thinking. So I am les concerned with others opinions. Unless they are flattering, those I enjoy I forget which philosopher said know thyself. Philosphy is good for thinking out of the box. Although it was created by the Devil (insert the proper emoji)
  20. He had the lowest net worth of any judge on the Supreme Court. Clarence clearly wasn't going that route.
  21. @Pioneer1 I have no beef or grudge with you. I am no longer in the debating phase. I can't speak for Cynique or anyone else. I think abstractly and in concepts you think more concretely and in the practical. Disagreement is not the same as dislike at least it isn't for me. Your question shows self reflection. It is a question based on your experiences but the answer is not in your experience. Or rather the method of answering the question or finding a solution involves thinking in a way that is different. The first question is that your thinking is a product of you experiences and your internal states and personality. There isn't another person that is like you on the planet. This is true for everyone. The second question is is no longer a question if my response to your first question is true. The answer is in the question. You have already decided your answer is clear cut and dry. Most people believe they are right. In my experience people don't generally think they are wrong. You style is discussion is a bit combative. So you have already decided before the discussion that you are right. Then you aren't really having a discussion. Perhaps people may need to think they are right. Otherwise life could be overwhelming. It is better to have a false sense of security that a real existential dread of the future. Let me know if any of that isn't clear You have asked the most important question a person can ask themselves. Since it leads to a more objective sense of your self.
  22. A tiger is stronger than a lion but in a fught the lion is more likely to win. A tiger will rear up on its hind legs and attack with both front paws. Lions only use on paw and even though it isn't as strong of a strike it conserves energy. In addition the mane around a lions head protects it's throat.
  23. That is because of my misnumbering . Number 1 is missing.
