Solipsism suggests that individuals might not be real or might just be creations of the mind. This is the case. Could the idea that there are people who believe that there are definitely other consciousnesses yet have never directly experienced the consciousnesses be a nutty idea? Yeah.

"Radical solipsism is the idea that only one's own mind is sure to exist. It suggests that everything outside of one's own thoughts—like other people and the physical world—might not be real or might just be creations of the mind. Supporters argue that since we can only directly know our own thoughts, we can't be sure about anything else. However, critics say this view is impractical for daily life and goes against common sense and scientific evidence. While it offers an interesting way to think about reality and knowledge, it also raises many questions and challenges." It doesn't go against common sense, and science has its limits. The questions and challenges that solipsism brings are welcome. Fascinating topic!

Fixing the food industry is essential, but it's important to consider that food is already expensive, and regulating processed foods could drive prices even higher. The challenge is finding ways to promote healthier eating without making food unaffordable. Strategies such as subsidizing healthy foods or offering tax incentives to healthy food producers could help. Implementing regulations gradually would also allow the industry and consumers to adjust over time, making the transition more manageable. This approach could balance the need for better health outcomes with affordability, ensuring that nutritious options are accessible to everyone. They're after me Lucky Charms! 😉

This forum can occasionally look like an echo chamber but I don't see it as one. There are many different perspectives voiced here including Trumpers, and threads like "Trump is going to win the election." Maybe I am missing what you are seeing so I will keep your points in mind in the future. Thank you.

@Bobby_2021 I would consider Donald Trump's rhetoric to be scapegoating migrants. There are many different examples of this if you look back in history. But I agree that it comes from bottom up also.

These countries have less polarized media than the U.S. mainly because of stronger regulations and cultural differences. The regulations require TV and radio to be more balanced, which helps prevent extreme partisanship in the media. They rely more on public broadcasters which aim to be neutral, offering less biased news compared to many U.S. outlets. These countries have more than two main political parties, so media coverage is less focused on just two opposing sides, leading to less division. There are stricter laws against hate speech and defamation, which prevent some of the extreme content that can drive polarization in the U.S.

One is the U.S. has very divided media, with many channels, news sites, and radio shows that only support one side. In other countries media is more centralized or publicly funded. U.S. media is focused on profits through high ratings. This leads to more polarized stories that pander to certain people. Some news channels have strong political leaning that mostly just reinforce the views of people. This makes media bubbles where people only hear opinions that match theirs making it harder to see different perspectives. This increases division. Social media uses algorithms to show users content they are more likely to agree with. This causes echo chambers, where people only see content that confirms their beliefs, making more division. Social media also spreads misinformation quickly, and without much regulation, false ideas can easily influence public opinion and add to polarization.

There's the inclination that more people would become construct-aware if they were just asked the right questions in the right environment. It would be surprising to find that someone who discusses these kinds of topics, like Destiny, is not construct-aware.

You could start a new thread with this. Good question.

This is a common misconception. Trump inherited a healthy economy that was already on the rise, and if you look back some months before covid-19, things were beginning to decline, especially in manufacturing.

Donald Trump Claims That Harris/Waltz Crowd Is AI. Reality denial at its finest. Another obvious warning sign of creeping authoritarianism. Recognizing and resisting these tactics is crucial for preserving democracy.

Republicans: "Kneel, bow!" lol They remind me of turkey vultures. Turkey Vulture Trump.

So, a woman who is infertile or sterile is not a woman, or one who is too old, or one who just chooses not to get pregnant, you're saying is not really a woman?

There are endless answers to this question, each revealing a perspective of something bigger.

Build the Walz!

@Jade123 Diablo is just a Spanish word for devil, and calling him a devil, while not at all inaccurate, makes him sound way cooler than he is. 😎

Lol, good point. I think the term "weirdo" has a neutral to slightly affectionate association. It describes someone who is quirky, eccentric, or unusual in a harmless and often amusing way. Someone who wears socks with sandals or carries around a rubber chicken is a weirdo. I think the term "creepo" has a more negative connotation. It refers to someone whose behavior is not just unusual, but unsettling, disturbing, or invasive in a way that makes others feel uncomfortable or unsafe. Someone who has been found staring too long, making unsolicited or inappropriate comments, (grab her by the p****) or invading personal space (rape case) is a creepo. A Great word to describe Mr Trump is creepo.

What do you mean they wouldn't be able to do anything about it? There would be war in the streets and assassinations. What would they do after the term limits were up? Red MAGA would get voted back in and things would be even worse.

Several lawsuits have been filed by individuals and groups seeking to disqualify Trump from running for office in 2024, citing the 14th Amendment. These cases argue that Trump's conduct meets the criteria for disqualification. Some contend that applying the 14th Amendment in this way sets a dangerous precedent and could be seen as a politically motivated move, potentially undermining democratic processes. Whether Trump should or could be disqualified from running for office under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment is still an open question, dependent on legal interpretations and ongoing court cases. The outcome will depend on how the courts interpret the amendment in the context of Trump's actions, as well as potential legislative actions by Congress.

Mr Trump said "We love you, you're very special." to the Capitol rioters and later said that he would "absolutely" pardon them. I think he approves what happened.

I think Walz will really connect with the middle class. His speeches are clear, compelling, and relatable.

This is a fantasy. A conspiracy of hundreds of officials is impossible without leaks and wouldn't produce a positive result. This would lead to more riots, assassinations, and distrust in the government. I am with the overall vision but not the process.
