Lol.......wait until you find out "she" is actually a HE

I am interested in conversation so a person sexual orientation or identity is not an issue.

It may be a foreign concept to you. To have a conversation or interaction without an agenda.

  What does it say about someone like me who wants to ride the train in peace with my random thoughts? 

I have no idea. Although I was talking with another commuter. And she invited me to her free Burlesque show .

Thanks will listen to the rest later.

I did a study of planetary positions for 2160 years taken at 72 year intervals. Using the Tropical Zodiac and precession. I found a correlation between the Moon's position and Neptune. Although I don't isye the constellations nor do I use fixed stars

The whole topic is too deep for me....

To me it appears that you are in your element. I enjoy your responses

I say that this flower is tilted to the right.
And when we begin observing it...it starts tilting to the left-
Yes, it moved.
It's now tilting left.
However the FACT/TRUTH was it was tilting to the right, and this lines up perfectly with my observation at THAT time.

That may only be true from your perspective. This is an instance where being able to think conceptually is useful. Although you are certain that you are right consider the possibility that you are mistaken. And there are conditions that you haven't factored into your assumptions. Let it percolate for a few days a d key me know what you think.

When it comes to ANYBODY acknowledging & commenting about me reading a book in public....REALLY? 

Frfr I don't push it though. If it's an author I know I'll suggest other books they may also find interesting. t's only in the last third of my life that I started talking to strangers. Every once and a while it doesn't work or I get a grumpy response. Most people like talking about themselves, that has been my experince for the last two decades, with a few exceptions. 

I am not certain that people are reading a book on their phone. I haven't seen that many tablets on public transport.

something is unknowable, how do you know it is true?

If something doesn't exist in your world or mindset it is beyond approach. I told you accept the possibility of its existence.

there any such thing as that which is "unknowable"?

My guess is consciousness is unknowable. In the same way a fish in water doesn't know it's in water. Nor do we know what air is made of, we are told and we believe. This maybe true of everything.

How we decide what is true is different for each person, and I'm not convinced it is a completely rational and conscious decision.

Are there any Truths, is there anything that is believed unanimously. Is there an objective reality. How can we tell if this is reality or a simulation.

What a thought. 

Since COVID I have been both fascinated and perplexed by people's beliefs. However I don't think I am any different. I believe things that are seem as incompatible.

Among Astrologers I am seem as anomaly. Which I didn't understand. Until I wrote the previous Sentence.

One thing that w ems to be having wider acceptance is that things aren't going well. Our trajectory isn't sustainable.

human beings continue to explore and discover, we re-evaluate truths or debunk them and find new truths.

Finding new truths makes sense. It was believed that swans were white. Until black swans were seen in Australia. So perhaps something is true if we can't see that it is false.

these beliefs are NOT ours as individuals

This is something that has been on my mind.  In a slightly different form. We don't know what to think. If we did advertising critics peer pressure and fashion wouldn't exist.

Books music movies and the others tell us what's acceptable. The groups you belong to may have conflicting/different rules. 

What other pathways are there to get the truth or at least identify a falsehood 

It may be that demand is down. Most people are looking at their phones and I see alot of commuters watching Tik Tock. I see one person a month with an actual book. They are so rare that I strike up a conversation with them about their book.

While your comment makes sense, it fails on many levels.

Or can you tell when you are wrong before experience shows you the truth?

We are on a creative planet and we learn spiritual lessons through mundane happenings

That's my take on it.

I have never had a job that actually required anything I learned in college.  

Accreditation is both a pedigree and a way of putting people in categories. A major component of school is about making you a productive worker. A degree trains you in the jargon of your field. It also is about making contacts which is more important than a diploma.

If your focus is more about working than a trade school is a better option. 

I found school useful for broadening my intellectual pallet. In addition I met people I wouldn't have otherwise met. You get the chance to meet 30 people every class.

Interesting hieroglyphics pictograms pictographs letters are very different ways of writing. Hieroglyphics pictograms and pictographs are more symbolic. Wheras letters are more abstract. However with letters the meanings are distinct from the signs that are used to display them. Symbolic languages are more poetic. The snil can take on multiple meanings. This has the effect of .asking the brain more flexible. One type of Sanskrit is Devanagari which means sacred writing or the writings of the Gods. Sanskrit and Hieroglyphics are magical languages. Some Sanskrit words have numerical values .

you’ve previously mentioned the Dogon on this site. I think the people we see today are not the same ones that knew about the star. I did not learn about the dogging until i started this site and heard Saul Williams mention them in  a poem and i looked them up. You kinda remind me of ole Saul. 

It is the same people and the same story.

How do I remind you of Saul Williams?

Their dwellings weren't mentioned in this video 

The Dogon cosmology has a name for Sirius that means heavy, it is a neutron star that is heavier than othe planets. However the star can not be seen by the naked eye.

I'll check out the video later. They also arrange their huts in a fractal pattern before the west discovered fractals.

Florida has a lot of retirees from New York New Jersey and Conneticut. New York City is not appealing as a retirement destination. Even in my 20's I both wondered and admired the elderly I saw walking around NYC. At that time I thought to myself I wouldn't want to be old in New York.

No but the co-author has a Dutch name. And I have been running across some really knowledgeable Dutch Astrologers
