I mean't to ask if these people that say untrue things are infact lacking morality? The morality of the tribe, the law, was written by an individual or a group of people at one point and is revised when needed. So morality of the tribe is derived from personal morality. If certain people lack personal morality, can we equally say that they lack compassion? http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_(personal_and_cultural)

Can a person "say" they have compassion while lacking morality?

How can photons even be placed on a scale to check their rest mass? Since I understood that atoms absorb photons or emit photons when the temperature of photons(atoms?) rises; ex lightbulb.

The fallacy in your statement is that the large portion of the population doesn't need to understand the supposed enemy because there is no enemy and because the large portion of the population has no control over economic conflict or even war.

This http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass or this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rest_mass ? If photons can't be stored in a container and placed on a scale, how can you be so certain that photons don't have mass?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hsp90 Hsp90 blood levels that have been measured would have to be used with caution regarding wether someone has cancer or not because other than cancerous cells, physical activity also increases Hsp90 levels. An overweight and inactive person with elevated Hsp90 levels would most likely have cancer, while a healthy physically active person would most likely not have cancer, unless they lived in a polluted city. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18784937

Do you mean that language wires the brain a certain way and this wiring affects on how our brains process scientific data? I don't think freethinkers can be tied to a nationality. Maybe nationality and/or national pride is tied to herd mentality? What is the reason in learning a language of a supposed future threat to the USA?

"See it as a joke" also depends on the field of science in question. I see the field of science that I am currently studying as misleading because the information is organized neatly and in a flat earth mentality way. If most people in the sciences see the information the same way, flat earth mentality, that is what is regarded as true even though the information could be falsified. The point is for science to learn not to continue making the same mistakes as religion; that is passing off information as 100% valid even though it can be easily partly falsified and corrected by those without the flat earth mentality. Not offending anyone personally.

Consumption of rice eventually causes overpopulation?

Pornography addiction in Japan? http://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2009/05/10/life/blurring-the-boundaries/#.UofS1NL3HfI Sure, wealthy and educated people are more likely to use birth control, however they may also be sexually repressed by their society and/or the media, and use pornography because of the sexual repression, which would then lead to their sexual obsession towards pornography. How is health correlated to lower birth rates? If wealthy and educated men are healthy, why is there a trend of infertility amongst the rich? -

Insulin does raise spermatogenesis and rice increases insulin the most. https://www.google.com/#q=insulin+spermatogenesis http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/33/4/760.full.pdf I've never had my sex drive raised this much by any other food I've ever eaten. -

Why not? -
Lately I've tried consuming more soaked white rice to see what it would do and my sex drive skyrocketed. Is it a good hypothesis to state that rice consumption on a daily basis eventually leads to overpopulation? http://irri.org/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=12109〈=en

We could say this to be true for most people but there is people that are an exception to this, those who can think for themselves. Well, maybe it is the education system and/or political system of each country that has effects on the mentality of their citizens? Edit: It could if each language works different parts of the brain. Like a muscle(neurons) doing different exercises(language). Is this what you meant?

Push for the sale of telephones that encrypt phone calls instead of wasting time with the law. Rebelling against the government never works. These are all external factors that have nothing to do with truely living. Humans don't know what "living" means. Just admit that we are dragging our feet along life and we eventually start stomping our feet on the ground like spoiled brats when something doesn't go our way. Sounds like a fake crises to distract us from bigger problems. Imagine there was no wire tapping of any information. Would anyone live life? Actually live it? Bold part: Any smart person would use truecrypt.

I've lived both in Italy and Canada for a good part of my life. Understanding both languages and cultures. At the end of the day, most humans think the same regardless of language, culture, etc... True, misunderstanding the language does cause problems but that is do to lazyness of not practicing the language. I've known people who can speak multiple languages fluently yet there is incompetent politicians that have trouble speaking multiple languages.

What does killing have to do with spying on worthless phone calls? You should ask yourself what the jews did that made nazi germany hate their guts before writing another presumption.

Questioning is more important or answering?
turionx2 replied to farzad didehvar's topic in General Philosophy
I like this line from the I, Robot movie. Questioning might lead to answering the question. Asking the right questions leads to answering the question. -
Would you rather be intelligent or happy?
turionx2 replied to turionx2's topic in General Philosophy
How are these self-reflectable characteristics since they are about others? I don't see how anyone that doesn't live their life independently of others can truly be happy other than give the illusion of their happiness with an addiction. -
If these forces were real, they would have to be created continuosly somehow to have effects on us. What if the joining of planetery magnetisms creates these forces continuosly? I find the forces to be correct only when I am living life. I would say that astrology is a way to say.. "this is what your life will look like when you actually live it." It would be great if astronomers(?) or physicists could see how the magnetism of one planet interacts with the magnetism of another planet. Maybe there is already science that I am unaware of?

I can't take any of this seriously for the following reasons. 1) Human domestication leads to greater inactivity. 2) We aren't slaves to our genes. 3) Physical activity upregulates epigenes, the good genes that make us feel strong. 4) Natural vitamin and mineral deficiencies in the general public should be of major concern since these vitamins and minerals regulate our biochemistry, and not how we "should" manipulate genes. Humility, not arrogance. Lazyness is a brutal disease.

Would you rather be intelligent or happy?
turionx2 replied to turionx2's topic in General Philosophy
Can you give us some examples of these positive characteristic(s)? When did I say this? -
This isn't true. Those that don't wish to die are scared shitless to live life or are clueless on how to live life. Those that live life in a non-reckless manner don't even think about dying, the future, and/or waste time thinking about the past that can't be changed. "Practices and behaviours that they enjoy" sounds like the typical quick reward addiction without lifting a finger to earn the reward. I would say that "western cultures fail to accept the inevitability of death" because they are forced to believe that life is short, so they rush through life in fear and paranoid. Look at american movies, they are made to keep people in fear of death and that a hero will show up and save their sorry asses.

turionx2 replied to turionx2's topic in General Philosophy
Tri, I've been busy painting and you misunderstood my comments. Can an overweight person self-reflect and eventually feel self-love, self-esteem and joy without self-deluding oneself in a fake external version of happiness? I don't see how anyone that doesn't live their life independently can truly be happy other than give the illusion of their happiness with an addiction; such as food, music, porn, internet, movies, drugs, overtraining, oversocializing, etc...
