  1. I believe white and black society are equally dysfunctional. Equal opportunity will have a black cop firmer Navy Marksman shooting people then himself. Or women who rule just as badly as men. There are usually communities you just have to look. And there's always community if you create it. Book clubs and discussion groups are thriving. Check out Meetup. People always need community. Even gated communities are communities. So if you find a lack of community create one. You will have at least 3 or 4 members.
  2. Need - There are loads of communities. There is a movie download site, that a friend uses. People post comments about the movies and their quality. I asked my friend why di people upload the movies. He said he asked himself that sane question. I used to drink at a dive bar. I had some really good conversations there. On Sundays they would feed there patrons for free. I said to Big Mike this is a society. He laughed until I read the definition, then he agreed. It was home for some, me too. The manager had a few patrons over for Thanksgiving and he gave me a TV that he no longer needed.
  3. Troy - I admire your mission. Although I couldn't do it your way it would be too frustrating. Self interest is not new. People sometimes ask me what is my lineage. I tell them i don't know and I am not interested. To say I come from kings us irrelevant to me. Since about 7 I have thought about who i am and what is important to me. I have narrowed it down to a small set: Dancing, Conversation, Reading, Esoteric and Exoteric Knowledge. I believe in what you are attempting. Which is why i check your forums. I am presupposing but I believe we both feel that community and the commerce if ideas is important.
  4. Need that is exactly why I like black. User defined. There was a similar debate amongst feminist about pornography. Some feminist wanted it ban others just wanted better porn/erotica etc. it may have been Pat Califia (a leather loving SM Dyke. She said I don't want women defining what is acceptable any more than I want the patriarchy definig what is acceptable.
  5. Troy Black is important cross culturally. My kids say Daddy is dark chocolate Mommy is white chocolate and they are caramel. Works for. Them works for me.
  6. Pioneer - I am quite happy with Black or colured. For two reason it sounds snappy and is more inclusive. A few examples might help to demonstrate the idea. Black is Beautiful, Suicide for Colored Girls when the Rainbow is Enuf. Also Black is an attitude or expression. sometimes less definition leads to more possibility.
  7. The LCD sells.Which authors or genre sell the most
  8. It is news worthy. Not my interest. I think it is good to have forums where difference if opionions are encouraged. In a way it is more relevant than some of the intuitive or intellectual post. Otherwise your site becomes undemocratic. I actually am impressed with the wide range of topics. If it annoys you that means it strikes a nerve.
  9. The consumer has decided they prefer the mall approach. The market gives you what you crave not what you need.
  10. Dr Dre and Puffy Daddy probably are two of the most successful producers. They helped make rap so mainstream accessible not certain that this was as good for rap as ot was for them.
  11. Ah Pioneer I said expressive people/races. I would guess more Italian and Spanish names end in vowels but I could be wrong, but so do Japanese not certain I would classify them as expressive
  12. Hi Pioneer, I am quoting Dave Chappell
  13. Anika Thanks I do what I can.
  14. Perfect match Troy
  15. Actually I think it would be a pretty detrimental study.
  16. Wow Troy did you have an espresso this morning. Yep Troy unfortunately you and I are in agreement which makes a less interesting discussion.
  17. Yes the Secret Language is good, but if you have a copy of your chart and know the aspects, I would recommend the Spiritual Approach to Astrology by Myrna Lofthus , or Astrology a Cosmic Science by Isabel Hickey. Being an astrologer I believe there is something to it as well. Again I think it is more sound to look at regions, even more so than countries. Since most countries have regional difference and you are take the location in addition to the time into account. I believe there are more difference with in a country than between a country, this is more true for true for countries that have a racial or cultural diversity. I would say that Italians and Spainiards are more similar to each other than, Germans and the Dutch. I also think you find a different between Southern and Northern Regions of the country. In the US, India and Italy for example the Southerners are more relaxed. In Australia it is the reverse. In Tarot I feel Wands are people of African Descent, Cups or Northern Europe, Swords are Asian (less Indian), and Pentacles are Europe. Although I tend to think of Paris as a high Pentacle card. Most of this is just my feeling, but I am finding that it makes more sense to develop your own approach than follow rules blindly. Aries is ruled by Mars and both were important to Rome. Capricorn is associated with the color black, it is considered a more serious sign.
  18. Thanks for replaying. I am currently reading Tetrabiblios by Prolemy. He says that certain countries are ruled by certain signs and planets. Initially I was going to say no. However I think it is more likely that regions fall under astrological influences. Black folks like bass, White folks like treble a la Dave Chapelle. Could be an interesting project but I wouldn't undertake it, because if it's successful it could be seen as racist. It just seems like a thankless task. Although every couple of years I work on some project along the same lines. I think it would be more successful if you dud it using numerology. I probably could do it unscientifically with a small sample My guess would be that more expressive people/races would have names first or last ending in vowels. I do not consider myself an expert, I am a practitioner.
  19. In terms of where they come from like we see discussing intuition.
  20. Where would you put instincts,drive, and ambition in this discussion.
  21. I am not certain whether it is likely or not. Since we don't know the cause. Also it doesn't necessarily follow that predestination requires a purpose or an intelligence. The beyond that gives birth is more than likely Mon human since it is beyond above time and beyond space. Although I can't think of a non probabilistic word.
  22. Troy you nay have to dust off the statistics book and calculate sample size
  23. Okay are you saying there is no loss of fidelity. Perhaps my intuition is wrong, but I don't believe you can copy something continous using a discrete function without a loss of fidelity. What I can't quantify is what the loss is in the copying. if you copied an analog sound using an analog format versus a digital format. Would the copies be of exactly the same quality and if not which would be higher.
  24. I finite sample of discrete wave reproducing a continuous one. They both don't represent the population faithfully. Do you think otherwise?
