  1. You are mistaken White Supremacists, White Racists, and the Elite are not all the same. It's like a chess game your position decides your movement and what you can see. Pawns have the most limited movement, and can only move in one direction. The Rooks are the land holders(those with assets, The Knight is the military(athletes), The Bishop is the Clergy (education), The King and Queen are the ruling elite. The function of Royalty is to set the standard. So the King and Queen define the ultimate Man and Women in the country. Each of piece has a pawn that is in front. Notice they are White Pawns and Black pawns. Just like in the fairy tales after much trials a pawn can elevate Each Pawn occupies a unique position and the position shows their master King Pawn 2 and Queen Pawn 2. So based on that analogy you can work out what type of Pawn you are in life.
  2. If you have a spiritual person, an intellectual, an athlete, a poet and a humanist on an island, the person with the gun will be in control. That doesn't make the gunner more evolved or elevated than the other inhabitants. Intelligence and stupidity are evenly distributed among groups, unless it is a group of stupid people. Even the king's subjects have power, the key is to realise and harness the power that you have at our disposal.
  3. How could we know until we understand consciousness? I don't think any symbol is real. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/is-the-universe-made-of-math-excerpt/ https://medium.com/however-mathematics/everything-in-our-life-has-only-mathematical-patterns-504a0e87ab3 How can it be that mathematics, being after all a product of human thought which is independent of experience, is so admirably appropriate to the objects of reality? Albert Einstein… One evening a few years ago, I was with friends from the college at the backyard of the college, and talking about the relationship between science and mathematics. One of my friends’ friends made a comment, “Science does not explain objects, it just describes them.” That made me utterly surprised because I was pretty sure that mathematics and science were the best languages to explain what is happening in the universe. https://www.kavlifoundation.org/science-spotlights/brain-or-universe-–-where-does-math-come#.X5x76Igza00 BRIAN BUTTERWORTH: We’ve pinpointed an area of the human brain where there’s a specialist neural network that responds to counting the number of objects in a set. This area of the brain can recognize numbers across modalities. In other words, it can recognize three cats, three tones or three wishes. A similar area in the brain of the monkey does the same job. We even discovered the guppy — a small fish with a tiny brain — has one system for detecting small sets of up to four objects and one for larger sets. My argument is that we evolved a brain-based system for detecting and comparing the number of items in groups. Humans have developed symbolism for these numbers and elaborated on them to create the kinds of mathematics that Max and Simeon need to describe the universe. Numbers are not necessarily a property of the universe, but rather a very powerful way of describing some aspects of the universe. Brian Butterworth—Emeritus Professor of Cognitive Neuropsychology at the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London; Which leads to a large question, that is debated in the Philosophy of Mathematics. are numbers invented or discovered. Personally I would say created since it is a symbolic language. Symbols only mean what we say hey mean. So if numbers are created and don't xist except as concepts then Mathematics and indeed all of science is on an ephemeral foundation. While you may think the answer is obvious one way or the other , it has not been proven and may not be provable. The Brain in a Vat is one of the biggest question in Philosophy. Basically if we lived in a world like the Matrix it would be artificial yet feel real to us. And we would have little way of know it isn't real unless we could break or bend fundamental laws of that system. https://www.vedicplanet.com/vedic-philosophy/vedic-model-of-reality-scientific-perspective/ In Hindu literature life or reality is called Maya which translates as illusion. Many mystical or shamanic practices are founded on the ability to break into another reality or place that exist outside of our normal experience. Priests, Rabbis and Iman also serve this function in organised religion.
  4. opinion- NOUN 1A view or judgement formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge. ‘that, in my opinion, is right’ More example sentences Synonyms 1.1mass noun The beliefs or views of a group or majority of people. ‘the changing climate of opinion’ More example sentences 1.2An estimation of the quality or worth of someone or something. fact- NOUN 1A thing that is known or proved to be true.
  5. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporation_sole The Roman Catholic Church continues to use corporations sole in holding titles of property: as recently as 2002, it split a diocese in the US state of California into many smaller corporations sole and with each parish priest becoming his own corporation sole, thus limiting the diocese's liability for any sexual abuse or other wrongful activity in which the priest might engage.
  6. Apparently the Dogon tribe could see a star that wasn't visible without a telescope. Their belief system has some strong scientific correspondences.
  7. I try to keep an open mind and consider that the other person could be correct and i could be mistaken. You are clearly wrong on at least one point. I will attempt to show you one instance. If you choose you can generalise from the particular to the general. Then you will be able to apply this globally. This is an instance of using both deductive and inductive logic. Here is an opinion. Chocolate Ice Cream is better than vanilla. Two things to note. Firstly an opinion is not a fact although it may be a factual statement. Secondly this doesn't apply if you aren't interested or concerned about making logical statements. Bonus point knowing etymology also helps. You believe you are making a factual statement and not expressing your personal opinion. Hence you are wrong. Do you realise that all of science could be a fiction? Just answer no so I can educate you. Or become incensed and or dismissive because you have more experience with mathematics and engineering than I do .Or be open to possibility having a different perspective on life science and knowledge. The other option is dismiss my statement as absurb.
  8. All beliefs are based on faith. And opinions are never wrong they, but they can be misinformed.
  9. Pioneer doesn't allow his ignorance to get in the way of being misinformed.
  10. In the past 5 years, astrologer I have made me aware of aspects of my personality I did not know. Correction. I read that decades ago, fortune telling for self discovery and education. Your fortune is also what you possess. Your second house and the part of fortune relate to your moveable possessions. House or land would be the fourth house in Astrology since you can't move them. I would put cars in the third with short term travel. And planes and ships in the 9th with long voyages. Thanks Twin. I am also looking at portents and signs . Since whatever catches the attention has meaning.
  11. It's probably good if you are coming up and have the time and devotion to post once a day.
  12. Isaac Newton is considered the Last Magician who was also a scientist. I think there have been a some since though. I have heard about the book although the author is not an astrologer. Despite what he states an Astrology chart never repeats. If you take one of the celebrities listed and enter the date of their chart the char have some similarities. It looks like he tried to find charts which put Sun Mercury Venus and Mars into the same relative positions around the Sun. Yet I can't see any consistent patterns for the Moon Jupiter Saturn Uranus and Pluto. However I have only looked at it for a few minutes. The Moon and the Ascendant are very important, as important as he Sun. Since all three measure different units of time within a chart. So I am not surprised that he hasn't found any correlations since he is leaving out six planets. Also as an aside in Hindu Astrology the Moon is more important than the Sun. @Mel Hopkins In the past week an idea popped into my head. If there is any activity that you are passionate about and engage in consistently for over a decade it changes you. For me it is Astrology, for Troy it is books, and perhaps for you it is research. @Mel Hopkins it also occurred to me that Astrology and Tarot can be also be used for self revelation and not just divination or rather fortune telling.
  13. @Mel Hopkins Pattern recognition and the ability to think conceptually are my main tools. I hadn't thought about it before your comment, but it explains why I like numbers and Algebra more than History. Astrology is an abstraction. It places myths upon the heavens and the Stars. You literally are taking time, space and speed and converting them in two dimensions. So it is like you are taking the second derivative of reality. (Reality is 4 dimensions a piece of paper is 2 dimensions). So Astrology can be an objective way to see people (including oneself ), places, events and relationships from another perspective. It is also an amazing way to categorize. You have the following dynamics, which occur concurrenly: Masculine Feminine; Day Night; Cardinal (initiating) Fixed Mutable; Fire (active), Earth (practical), Air (theoretical) Water (emotional); 10 planets (expression of energy) 12signs how a planet is expressed, house where it is expressed. The most concise way to express astrology is to use the analogy of a play. Planets are the actors, sign is the role, house is the field or setting. even though I do predictive work for others in order to help them plan for the future. I no longer do predictive work for myself. What comes up for me is more how to react to upcoming or current dynamics. As an aside I beleive there are patterns and even markers of moment in time and space. Since a planets positions in space cane be converted into time. There are three signifies of time in Astrology Solar - Year, the Sun takes a year to move through the Zodiac, Lunar - Month the Moon takes a Moonth to move through the Zodiac, Terrestrial the signs take one day to make a complete revolution.
  14. Astrology is marginalised but it is a great tool for sharpening the mind.
  15. @Troy they are charts I drew using my first and last names. Interesting since I do have a Sun Moon opposition in my chart, Yes it is a valid interpretation. I have figured a way to create charts from words, and figure what card a name is in the Tarot. If you want I will do yours.
  16. https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/search?_sort=rank&_sortDirection=asc&schoolName=Yale+University If you are ranked #4 in the nation there aren't a lot of Universities that are better than you there are three. If you are ranked 11 in the world again there are a lot of Universities that are worse than better. So I give first hand experiences, while you use a ranking and then you misinterpret the results.
  17. Black Americans are leaving America. I personally know two people who are considering it.
  18. If you create an astrological order for the Tarot you can workout what you name is in the Tarot. If you order the cards from 1 -78, you can work out the card that is associated with your name. Delano is 5 of pentacles. 0 - 9 Taurus Strachen is Ace of swords. Element of Air.
  19. I took it as a compliment. I have Destruction in my list of books to read, however I am putting it on hold while I work on a project.
  20. Perhaps someone else will answer the question
  21. Pioneer Harvard Princeton and Yale are the yardsticks that other universities are measured against. They are the equivalent of Oxford and Cambridge. Every university has a profile and a speciality. Like you said you weren't exposed or even made aware of the benefits of the university. BTW there is a difference between College and University. Yale University is consistently listed in the top 20 overall in the world. https://www.usnews.com/education/best-global-universities/rankings https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/2020/world-ranking#!/page/0/length/25/sort_by/scores_overall/sort_order/asc/cols/scores:4 https://www.topuniversities.com/student-info/choosing-university/worlds-top-100-universities @Pioneer1 perhaps you should ask a few educators. They may be able to help you understand why Princeton is consistently top 20 in the World.
  22. I was addressing your first point. What school in your mind gives a better education than Yale. I visited Yale and went to NYU for Grad School. I had class with a Harvard Undergrad, and had chats with a Grad Student from MIT, I had a few friends at Northeastern University. So what comparisons are you using to say there are a LOT of Universities better than Yale.
