You see Eliezer. You are bias.

I took a rational response and yet you still chose to delete me. That's fine but don't you dare tell me I don't know what I'm talking about. On your end, deleting people's responses is about emotional response as opposed to the knowledge that has been given. Not everyone is a writer but many are speakers.

Good luck!

Just an idea:-) Maybe he wants to be remembered?

Well Ken, I guess your not a Barbie:-)

I remember thinking the same question a while back. I wondered why if "some people" have "special powers" how come they don't win the lottery. The best question I got was:

"When so many people "wish" for the same thing, why would "you" be the lucky one?"

Imho, I think it's a chance luck thing. Sometimes your up and sometimes your down.

I think that someone that believes in awareness, experimental proof and/or wisdom might fall under the category of parapsychology but today we have such nonsense in our midst that we delude the facts and progate false illusions based upon simple facts and knowledge.

But that's just my opinion.

"If someone who weighs 560 pounds suffers from "existential angst", allegedly because the universe is a mere dance of particles, then stomach reduction surgery might drastically change their views of the metaphysics of morality."

Maybe it will make it easier but they didn't really work at it. By having this alledged surgery will it make then more or less prone to believe in the quick fix or the long term discipline of working at it?

Just curious

Eric S. Raymond link isn't working.

Regardless of all previous posts.

I think you write better when you are expressing your beliefs and inner thoughts as opposed to the mathematical equation that leads you there.

“Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.”

Just a thought. Anna

Suppose you could send messages back in time to Archimedes of Syracuse, using a chronophone which - to avoid transmitting anachronistic information - transmits the results of executing cognitive strategies, rather than words.

"You have no idea what you're about to discover!" "What you thought is real, is really not the truth!" "You can't imagine the facts!" "What is real, is only real to you!"

Just some ideas. Anna
