It seldom does, when it's much more comfortable over here...

Trump will win, whatever the count and America could lose: they may have already lost bc the political pendulum 'will' find it's zenith due to mass + momentum - resistance; my fingers are crossed, bc this shit spreads like a plague, and we've got a special relationship, lots of touching 🙏

You don't seem to have any idea about how even the basics of an economy works, inflation is the expression of the people who want more than they have now; it's a natural tax on the future, not futures (which is another such expression)...

Indeed +1, all we really need to comunicate in another language is a smile and a willingness to try; the minute we start to think that we speak it like a native, is the minute we start to piss the natives off...

He said, from under his bridge, on a computer powered by the grid and connected to the web... And? Disclaimer 'not everyone that lives under a bridge is evil'... 😣

But you're trying to change it to 'the value of piety', to which I say "whatever floats your boat", because it's no excuse or clarion call to the army of the righteously indignantly, touched... Can you be more specific about my lost argument, please...

Really Luc? you're still making the same mistake, you're conflating 'all of science' with 'all of philosophy'; mostly because, you don't really understand either... @Luc Turpin dude you're bright enough to string out these topics beyond their natural death, I kinda admire that, but for the love of god try listening as well, after which I'd welcome your input...

All I'm arguing is that we're all humans, each one of us is subject to hormones and other chemicals, none of which is in our control and we're taught according to the society in which were spawned. The dislocation of fairness from a witch hunt/mob rule, based on a rumour (or as seen on a screen from a parallax)...

If you say so...

which ones aren't?

Of course not, they're reading their own version...

I'm not using him as a direct meaning of my point; besides you don't seem to understand his point, and parallax is the word that links, most strongly, to my meaning. Every generation creates a different parallax, a different view of the text, the more generations the more obtuse the angle... It doesn't mean it's unreadable or un-understandable, but like everything that drives language and effective communication, it takes a relatable moment/experience for knowledge to be taught...

Not at all, it takes a great deal of training and understanding to dislocate our emotional response from what we perceived to be fair, there in lies justice. Morality is what 'we' subjectively call fairness.

Perhaps Will can explian my meaning: At least watch the first 5 minutes, but it's worth 50 minutes of anyone's time...

We're emotional being's, so what, every choice is an emotional one.

It suggests to me that I want to be liked and accepted, so I'm as nice as I know how to be; but if fear drives that choice, what's the difference?

Indeed, but with the caveat that "Better education opportunities in modern times would reduce the gullibility factor necessary to invent supernatural beings." gambler's are often from the better educated (with their own god), who's decision's often force those less well educated to prey pray to the same god.

Text is a particularly bad means of comunication, it's insidious, in that it both freezes meaning (left to be picked over by...) and is bereft of a complete set of data (with which to fully understand, let alone properly interpret; 'that' humans meaning...

Whatever floats your boat, mate...

If you believe that you're being watched in everything you do, you have two choices: Be seen to make the correct moral choice. Or Wear a mask. The choice 'we' make often depends on the information we trust, rather than the moral correctness; especially when that correctness would disadvantage 'us'...

But that is my point, we can't directly translate however close the language seems to be, we have to interpret the meaning through the lense of human nature...

Much like 'cold comfort farm' is the same as 'sense and sensibility'... you've missed the point...

The contradictions come later, they all start off with a reasonable philosophical approach to a contented life, when the understanding of that philosophy is churned in the generational washing machine or the silver plate is polished of the base metal, it's very human to assume this generation is smarter than the last; their phone's couldn't leave the house... 🙄

Double our efforts to do what? Read more?

He also wrote: "If the literature we are reading does not wake us, why then do we read it?" Depends on who you read, Douglas Adams argued that the universe actively sought to prevent that... 😉
