  1. From my very limited perspective, there is an extremely high probability that the star in the center of our solar system will make an appearance specifically in the atmospheric region within the vicinity of my ocular perception, due to prior knowledge being gleaned about both how this planet moves around said star in a revolving manner and the nature of the planet’s own curvature, and that this occurrence is reasonably expected to take place within an amount of time colloquially referred to as a day. or Sun’s gonna rise.
  2. Hmmmmmmmm...toss-up between respiration and nutrient intake. Both very necessary habits for living. Most important is relative.
  3. Humor is subjective. So “too far” is as well. I’m not going to watch it, but I have little doubt I’d be fine with it if I did. If someone else finds it offensive, that’s fine as well.
  4. Doesn’t the territory include the maps of itself?

  6. I bought it because of a different post on this forum. Very artistic and meta! I also find it hilarious that Alex Jones is in the movie.
  7. Good tag line for American politics, tbh.
  8. Here he makes some good points based on his experiences in both campaigns about how not only is our political system disintegrating, but so is the entire media landscape. Polarization and instability are becoming the status quo, and it needs to change one way or another. His new party sounds like a good change to me! https://samharris.org/podcasts/262-future-american-democracy/
  9. No right or wrong. Only perfect. Yes, everything included.
  10. If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice. - lyrics in Free Will by Rush The more things change, the more they stay the same.
  11. Loooooooooove that song! This isn’t really news to me, though. Abuses of money and power are constant. Good on them for gathering the evidence of it! But really, it’s just more fuel for a confirmation bias. I wonder if the Sacklers were included?
  12. I haven’t forgotten about this thread! I said I would practice more and record something original by the end of September, but I’m a little late. https://vocaroo.com/17i7YgaGzTE4
  13. Too much responsibility, and not enough conscious awareness. How can a person be expected to accept that everything is their doing? It’s incredibly daunting/absurd/threatening depending on one’s level of awareness to hear such a thing.
  14. I’m a hard C. Not people oriented, and a thinker rather than a doer.
  15. Yup. It’s the whole “democracy is government of the people, by the people, for the people...but the people are retarded” Osho quote.
  16. Reminds me of an assignment I had in my first year of college. There was an either/or choice between The Prince by Machiavelli or Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu for which we considered the best method of leadership. The overwhelming majority of the class went with Machiavelli.
  17. Recontextualizes the phrase “keeping up appearances”, doesn’t it?
