100% agreement huh. That is far better than even I expected.  My job here is done.

How's your job done mi compadre when you got the interpretation all wrong.

I can rest easy now Troy. Knowing that you will write the wrongs. Insert the appropriate smiley face or emoticon.

It looks a bit different than what you posted @Troy. I can't remember this though.

Troy,

I believe Galton did work with genetic probabilility. I don't know enough about genetics to refute your statement. For example if your mother has Blue eyes is it the same probability as if your Grandmother has blue eyes. My gut says probably not but you wouldn't just post some statistics without knowing what your talking and mentioning me at the same time. I could look it up but

Troy please elucidate the socio-political or even interpersonal similarities between myself and Pioner

He is feeling it , and folks seem cool with him.

it puts the we will not be replaced comment in perspective.

But I still got down with my Boys at Soul Summit. And the Family Stand when they were  at SOB's. nd all the hip hop parties in the Bronx. and a year at the paradise garage. And a year when I was a bike messenger.

Troy what in your experience helps you understand. That Black Women should be cheerleaders to Black Men and have sex with them to encourage them in the struggle.

the reason I am here is because we are friends. And I believe in you vision. And not to sound arrogant but my background and experience draws on business and Magic. Which I feel can be of use to us. I think Cynique is one of the best critical thinkers I have met. Plus she has isn't some dry academic. Mel is my psychic sister. and her post about the esoteric and thinking sends me into interesting corridors in the mind of Del Strachen. Pioneer post are extremely challenging and know I just read them and don't respond. since his experience is valid. and provides a window for an alternate take on things. Also once or twice he mentioned an idea I had previously. And his start has risen in my eyes, when he worked out the Issac Newtown.

I spent many years dancing in the dark with a lot of Black people. until I went international in 1996.

Thanks Cynique

Religions are all man made, but most I imagine started out attempting to enlighten people


If you study many ancient societies........
Look at the priests in these societies and how they didn't have to do hard labor or risk death fighting like other men did.
All they had to do is sit up in cool temples studying and eating foods that people gave them.



The God we seek is within each of us, all matter, and all time.

I think we have to be careful with this line of thinking.

But if I was to tell the boy something like that his mother and family probably never would forgive me and it may even hurt him more than he's being hurt now as he struggles to do something clearly beyond his capacity to do.

People should be taught how to be happy and satisfied with their own abilities no matter how limited.

Most people that are religious or spiritual suspend logic.

I don't know about spiritual people, but I believe this is true with many if not most religious people to a certain extent.

If your religion teaches you that all you have to do to be successful in life is do "a b and c" and you do it and are NOT successful.....then you have to play mind games and explain why the method your religion prescribed isn't working.

You force yourself to believe in things you know in your heart aren't true.

You go into a state of what's called "cognitive dissonance" believing contradicting ideas.

Pioneer are all of the opinons you have espoused your own experience or do they have some basis in the external world.

In several countries the Astrologer was put to death if ineffective.

We don't need to be careful but you should be careful. I have stated based on my experiences with about 10,000 clients everyone has an ability. So you are not only confusing your specific experience with a global. You can't see how that is possible. I agree you  shouldn't be giving anyone advice unless they think like you do.

Religion and spirituality exist in a mutually exclusive fields. Logic has no place in spirituality or religion. You may want to look up the definition of cognitive dissonance. The whole idea of cognitive dissonance is that your beliefs are internally consistent they just don't match reality. So you changed your beliefs to match reality. It's a psychological term.

Here's a proper definition of cognitive dissonance. Notice there is no internal conflict in beliefs.

Cognitive dissonance refers to a situation involving conflicting attitudes, beliefs or behaviors. This produces a feeling of discomfort leading to an alteration in one of the attitudes, beliefs or behaviors to reduce the discomfort and restore balance etc.

But does you belief define your afterlife? That would be something wouldn't it?

Your beliefs effect how you see life, so if you persist with those beliefs perhaps the effect your afterlife .

I have set it earlier. Trump will be the most unifying divisive President.

Pioneer we must live in different worlds since I find your perspective unrelated to my life experience

Yeah being present and grateful are important

Thanks Troy, but they passed away some years ago.

Del, yes I think the true divider of people in this country, the true cause of misery for Black people (and white folks) to are the ultra rich.  It was not a Black man that killed more than half a million white boys in the civil war, it was not a Black men who sent them to die in Vietnam, Korea, the deserts of the middle east.  It was not a Black man who took their homes during the mortgage crisis.  It was not a Black peopel who outsourced their jobs and hired people from all over earth to work in silicon valley.

 

If white people got rid of every Brown person in the United States, they would actually be worse off, not better.

 

Pioneer, the military budget is $600 billion a year; more than half of our entire budget, we have the money.

 

I think the reason BET and Oprah don't do journalism is because it is hard and expensive.  Unscripted reality TV, music videos, and talk shows are much cheaper and easier to produce--i.e. far more profitable.  

 

At some point someone has to care more about informing the public than making money. The incentives of are system will not allow this to happen organically.  It has to be a public service.  45 as potus, Charlottesville, climate deniers, etc, are are all a consequence, in a large part, of an misinformed public.

 

But the other problem is that people probably would not tune in on their own; opting to watch music videos and the NFL instead.  Maybe we could require high school students to watch ... I dunno informing the public so that we can make better decisions seems hopeless.

You are correct

Because most of the people in Tampa are retired from New York New Jersey and Conneticut. My parents moved there, and said they hadn't met any Floridians.

Thanks for re-minding me.

Should men shoot  some cash to single mothers and service them. Since they seem to be raising more kids on their own than single Black men.

Not certain if I had posted tis before or not. It seems especially relevant both here and in your world.

I have recently noticed a power dynamic. The dominant segment and the passive segment don't communicate as equals along the following lines. Wealth, Class, Race, Colour, and Sex, Northern location in the Northern Hemisphere. Southern Location in the Southern Hemisphere. This is the case in Northern, Central and South America, England, China, Australia New Zealand. Other parts of the world the dynamic. applies with fewer categories. But it applies subtlety. - Del S

Cynique you aren't alien, you objective and not a slave to either time or place. It's like people say surfing is a white sport.

No Troy, I think Eddie Murphy said it best. One time he was shopping and someone called him a nigger. When he turned around the guy was like Yo it's Eddie Murphy. He was no longer a nigga. So celebrities may exist in a separate reality from mere mortals because they are Stars.
