This is exactly the issue I struggle with. The external world is hard to deconstruct. Everything in my direct experience is pointing to something outside of it. If the phone rings, it points to a person I cannot see that exists. The most logical and sane conclusion to come to is that there is someone else in a room with a phone that I do not see that is talking to me on the other line. But what is suggested is that there is no one on the other line and I am just imagining it. @Leo Gura Any thoughts?

That is an interesting thought: What is the reality of Whiterun if you are in Riverwood?

Because BEING is more fundamental than knowledge. Infinity implies mystery. God is a mystery to itself.

He deserves 10 years then.

You cannot rely on testimony’s. They are fallible. False Memory: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3143501/

I haven’t been following the case that much. But if it’s true the rape wasn’t proven and was just a “he said she said”, then that makes me frustrated. People shouldn’t be convicted based on testimony alone. Testimony’s are unreliable in court of law. There’s also a thing called “False Memory”. Women could remember the events differently and could lead to innocents being prosecuted. If a woman consents to sex but has sex and regrets it afterwards, that isn’t rape. If she says no and the guy forces himself on her, then it is. How do you prove Brand forced himself on her 20 years ago!!?

I agree. I think about both sides. The fact that it happened 20 years ago and he hasn't been offending since suggests a change. I have mixed feelings on it because I see both sides. Idk about his personal life, but if he has changed and hasn’t violated women since then, then I don’t think 10 years is justified. You lock people away when they are a threat to society. Idk if we can say he is a current threat based on the evidence. He should get jail time but I don’t think it should be a decade. I know it takes women a lot of courage to come forward. But 20 years is too long. A person can grow so much in 20 years. There’s things I regret doing 10 years ago that I would never do again. If he is still womanizing people and abusing women, then I’d agree with 10 years. I also see the other argument that this will hopefully bring about good change and will be an example. If we are too lax on rape, then it isn’t stigmatized. I just wish it was more consistent. There’s a person in my hometown that raped and almost killed 3 women and he was sentenced to community service because he was only 17 years old. He should be given 10 years in jail.

If a dream character in your dreams dies, do you die as well? Are you a dream character in someone else’s dream?

That’s unfortunate. He really turned his life around. Yes, he did some bad things in the past. But I believe he reformed. He has a YouTube channel on meditation and spirituality. He overcame drug addiction. My most controversial opinion is if someone has reformed, they should pay alimony to the victim instead of being locked up. It shouldn’t be taking these women 20+ years to come forward. I have mixed feelings on it. If he did commit those crimes, then I’m glad UK is taking it more seriously than USA and making an example out of Brand. If he has changed his ways since then, then it would be a bit unfair. I’d understand their sentencing a bit more if he was an active threat. But it seems like he isn’t. But idk his personal life if I’m being honest.

No. Brand shouldn’t get more time than Diddy.

@Leo Gura The Autism Test isn’t accurate. I scored a 21 and I have ASD. If that test was right and you scored higher than me, then you’re screwed.

21. Test is not accurate. I have autism and I scored 21.

He is now one with God

God damn. Warning points should be given out for the amount of unserious posts I see on here. 🤦‍♂️ Another bias to consider is the tendency to only present one perspective and making it sound like the absolute truth. The Post-Modernism videos did a great job in countering this. You presented the good and then deconstructed it. That’s how it’s done.

Try to expand on this. I’m not sure what you mean. Leo said he only wants thoughtful responses and for you to contemplate before posting.
