...WERE aliens in their part of space - some in liquid universes. They do not know about size and relativity and time. Because THEY viewed the whole thing in such a boring dull way with a round contained Earth and a lump in the sky that makes waves and this kind of thing - they did not know about other collective hallucinations and how THEY viewed things. Thus humans did not realize that the whole area is basically space - and that ...

... without the human, because the characteristics that make them look like objects, are there whether we are there to classify them or not. A straight line is straight whether we are there to look at it or not. A lump of clay has persistence to it whether we are there to notice its persistence or not, etc. Very good! I shall consider your assertions further. Our evolution has produced a few legacies, a few of those constrain us to ...

Is there any one particular person who you would like to cite as an example of how a "more efficient ego" gets one locked up as mentally ill? Somebody ...

...> I have no qualms about calling radioactive decay a 'process'. The decay of each atom might be fairly described as a process, but unless there is a chain reaction going on, it seems loose terminology to describe the decay of a lump of radium as a process (since the decay of one atom seems to have nothing to do with the decay of others). But if you wish to so describe it, I think you'll have to distinguish between "coupled" and "...

...billion And of this last figure, only 154 million are atheists. Which is about 2.33%% of the entire planetary population. So perhaps the sources causing the concern expressed in your opening statement are lumping the non-Christians in with the atheists to make the world look bad. But don't forget that the family of religions known as "Christian" disagrees so much with each other that there are thousands of ...

... "labor" is no longer perceived, erroneously, as a single, uniform, "undifferentiated," fundamental factor of production, as Marx and other lefties would lead you to believe. It is an ill-chosen term which misleadingly lumps a number of distinct and unrelated factors together, some of which have great value, while others have little or no value. Ah, so the economists who wrote the text book are commies. That as good as ...
