No. This is precisely wrong. You are not realizing that avoiding extinction and suffering are NOT the best. That is your bias. You cannot say that suffering is bad, because suffering is an important part of life.

@Joshe Nice share!

I have seen how Lichtman reasons. And it is not good. This is the perfect example of how science is taken to be something legitimate and objective when in this case it is half-baked, oversimplified, and reductionistic. Just because some academic can isolate and formalize a handful of variables does not mean he is being intelligent, or that his model is superior to human intuition. I will trust my intuition over Lichtman's models. This election is unique and will not fit any model. This election will be very close. To think one can predict it is foolishness. We will probably be up all night counting every last vote in a nail-biter. And the economy might crash before the election.

If it's done without a political agenda, yes.

Perfect!

Sociology is a super important field full of importanrt insights. However, you have to be careful to avoid the woke ideological capture of that field which has taken place to some extent. Distinguish genuine science and insight vs woke political agendas.

Because reality has a profound structure which isn't here to serve your childish ego. You are really asking why God is not a corrupt narcissistic child.

@psychedelaholic It's very rare to find anyone who is interested in doing original thinking. People act out their biases like monkeys grabbing at bananas, and all their thoughts are just a tool to serve that end.

I did 12 days fast. Zero spiritual benefits.

Time is not measuring constructs. Time is an aspect of your consciousness.

I guess you consider FoxNews just truth, eh? How could it be propaganda if it's so successful.

Change and motion is no way contradicts Eternity. Time is not needed for change or motion. Motion happens within Eternity and time is an overlay.

My Part 2 outline is nearly complete and it's super juicy. Twice as juicy as Part 1.

Daniel Schmach for President!

And with that our conversation ends.

Every time I read the title of this thread, I cringe.

@SageMind Your thinking about this whole thing is backwards. Your goal should be to get the most cringe and brutal rejections possible, in the hundreds. Until you stop caring. You should not waste a single minute worrying about how bad the rejection will be. Rejection is not really bad at all. If a girl doesn't like you, great! Next girl!

That's right. Words cannot solve epistemic problems of such depth.

You completely ignored what I said about Trump. Which shows that you're not serious. I didn't say you consume mainstream media. I said you consume right-wing alternative media, which is way worse. It seems like your sources of information are mostly memes. That's your constructed projection.

The first step to changing your mind is realizing it is closed.

Yellow means, Left R dumb.

Do not derail this thread with BS.

@Cobblestone Prince You managed to stuff like every right-wing talking point in a single post. That is impressive. Someone who has consumed as much right-wing media content as you cannot be reasoned out of your position. Why Kamala? Because she did not try to overthrow a fair legal democratic election through violent insurrection, sedition, and fraud. Law and order. I'm sure you can appreciate why we should not vote for a convicted felon for President.

Look in the mirror.

Enough.
