Yes it us a good book. Cynique have you had an experience, where you weren't thinking about it?

The mind doesn't exist physically or temporally on earth. So in my mind it can not be influenced by spatial-temporal effects.

Linda - Another viewpoint is always welcome, perspectives are never wrong just different. They are Points of the Viewer.

Sure just watch advertising critically. However the mind is probably hack proof.

Cynique - Not for me in that serting. There is no expectation or desire.

What I find in that state I am observing more than thinking. Or at least there is less projection

I am challenging mu beliefs about what reality is. What I find is the less meaning I put on reality the more fluid it becomes and I just observe the outcomes. The problem with this fluidity is that my sense of self becomes transient as well. Which does facilitate introspection and self awareness. It is uncomfortable.

Yes Troy but it us what we want. We want the most for the least.

I think as a society where are having less physical interactions. We don't talk to shop keepers because we buy online. We can even find a partner online. The company I work at does home loans. We never meet the customers except the brokers. All interaction is done over the phone or over the net. From a business standpoint it's more profitable to be online. However the social cost and the funds mot being re circulated in the community will have a ling term effect. Which we will see in the upcoming years

Then you are wealthier. Probably saner as well.

Pioneer - When I was in New York City. I worked 9-5 and didn't take mass transit often. I can't recall if have even seen kids playing outside. So I don't see any kids. Or if I do it's rarely in a group. Its not a conspiracy its about money. The hormones are in the food supply. Black people ate targets because they are easy consumers. I don't know about the rest if the country. But in New York you very rarely see black businesses in black neighborhoods.

Troy - You should be proud not every parent can say that their children are function much less proficient. Congratulations.

Do black people hate black people more than white people do. I haven't seen black teenage girls in a decade have you noticed the changes before then.

It could be the growth hormones in the food, that's causing girls to develops early. Pioneer all change starts with you, or me. If you see something wrong, you can fix it. In organization every has lots if ideas but a few do the work. Which do you want to be.

The qualities if successful Business Leaders is the same as Sociopaths.

Perhaps advancement is due to aggression not intelligence.

Sorry bout that, yeah...

I generally avoid universals. Lots of stuff japoens when there are mind altering substances involved. Character matters more than color.

I think it stops that filter. And you see the true person.

Troy - I agree. It's a class war or a sexuality war. When I think about the media most stories are about dominance and/or submission.

You are right Cynique.

To the extent that knowledge elicits an emotional response, the response is a function of belief not intellect. Some knowledge or knowing...

Instinct as more physical, intuition is more emotional. It feels right.

Where would you place America? En vino Veritas. I don't think any race or region has a monopoly on virtue or vice.

I think the US is having it's swan song. I read that the US appears to be doing all it can destroy its and the world's economy. Printing money seems to support this belief.
