GENIUS FORUMS

Quote:Quote:<hr>Verily, perchance I have taken from you an hundred definitions...<hr>
Ha, Ha, I thought you were trying to copy Suergaz's style to teach him a lesson, and then I thought, gosh he's doing a good job...!

At any rate, Leo, I like your Van der Leeuw.

<t>Quote:Quote:<hr>Male and female evolved together, simultaneously. There was never a time when there were only females and no males.<hr>According to biology, they consider asexual reproduction of one-celled organisms to be female which precedes the division into two sexes.<br/> <br/> Quote:Quote:<...

<t>Quote:Quote:<hr>Well I disagree. All human endeavour is about bending nature to our will - ...I'm also not certain that there are bounds which cannot be crossed, evolution certainly doesn't believe so, we certainly don't believe so or we wouldn't have machinery on Mars, we wouldn't believe in god...

<t>Quote:Quote:<hr>In fact the Y chromosome exists for the sole purpose to make one "male" and not female. The absence of Y leads to development of females in the womb. All this would indicate the very opposite of what you preach. ie. it is the females who are superior to us males. All because of ou...

<t>The arguments against female abilities would have more merit if it were not the for long and varied and vicious multi-pronged attacks in every possible venue that have been necessary to constantly maintain in order to keep women down. <br/> <br/> Why such efforts, my men? Whence such anxiety?<br/...

<t>Quote:Quote:<hr>Well, in the animal kingdom, such things are the way of survival. As we are animals, it is understandable that we would carry with us these tendencies to overrun others and destroy competition for resources.<hr> As you can see from my above recent post, I do not agree that this is...

<t>Quote:Quote:<hr>The ultimate end for any species that does not try and bend nature to its will is death. As all we do is nature we have no choice in that matter.<hr><br/> <br/> A bizarre remark. No species, including QRS, is intelligent enough to interfere with the devlopment of nature, and none ...

<t>Quote:Quote:<hr>What choice do the aboriginies have now? None except to apply wisdom to the way they approach things.<hr>It is time for us to apply some wisdom, and realize that the ultimate end for a species that does not live within nature is death. We are headed that way, and taking others wit...

<t>Uh-oh, I hope I'm not in trouble.<br/> <br/> Quote:Quote:<hr>Do you believe that every object has its own 'spirit,' 'soul,' or 'intelligence?' If so, in what sense?<hr> <br/> <br/> Well, the short answer is "probably." I think the world is a sacred place and everything in it is holy. It is much h...

<t>Don't worry David, females are not nearly so smug or happy as you think: <br/> <br/> Adolescent boys and girls understand, if adults have forgotten, that the adolescent experience is markedly different for boys and girls, and that the overall experience, with some exceptions, favors boys. When yo...

That is why I prefer to think of myself as an animist. Although at the site I discovered I am a bit of a monist as well.

<t>Quote:Quote:<hr>What's all this nonsense? Why aren't you answering my question?<hr><br/> It seems to me neither side is answering the questions. I know I would appreciate some basics here. I did say, Naturyl, that I could use some help. Question for you is, what do you mean it has been observed t...

Thanks, I had a look. I believe pantheism is the innate human spiritual sense. From this we have fallen. Fallen into Monotheism and Buddhism.

<t>Suergaz:. 'Notsure7' was banned from this site. Also, the original genius forum and everything on it just disappeared. I had already cut up Dan and David there with my posts on 'Beauty'. I disagree about the misogyny of "QRS" Anna, and I have not found Dan to be a misogynist, <br/> <br/> Notsure ...

<t>Naturyl:<br/> Hmm. You state that you are "99.999% certain" that you will never be persuaded that particles are uncaused. Forgive me, but it sounds very much like you've already made up your mind. If that is the case, what possible use are facts? <br/> <br/> Forgive me, I was being bombastic. The...

I'm either a pantheist or animist. I didn't know about the Society. I'm interested.

<t>Quote:Quote:<hr>That's everyone's reaction to quantum mechanics when they begin to understand its implications.<hr> Does anyone know of a good link I can read up on this? Mr. Greene is well into strings and doesn't seem to be straying back to the quantum stuff. As for the Wu Li Masters, he makes ...

<t>Well, I'm somewhere in chapter 5 I believe and I have to turn in for the night. I don't understand at all why those folks are starting to get upset (haven't gotten to the misogyny yet). This was a direct hit:<br/> <br/> <br/> Quote:Quote:<hr>David: The priestliness of your attitude also shines th...

Quote:Quote:<hr> Because they aren't. Sorry, but they just aren't.<hr>Hmmm, I may be already past the point in Greene's book whre he discusses most of this. I wish I understood better what they mean by 'uncaused.' Because of course they can't really mean that. It just ain't so.

I guess I should have read through your answer to John before answering. If that is all you have to offer!!!!!!!!! My answer to number one is: because I am no longer an infant. My answer to number two is: The variability in perception is certainly fascinating, and quite irrelevant. To say we need no...

<t>Quote:Quote:<hr>For me, women = attachment. They value attachment more than anything else i can think of at this moment.<br/> <br/> Your distaste for the truth that things (ie. the staff) cease to exist when outside of your experience is most likely related to that. It would make quite a mess of ...

No, I find it useful. why does it bother you?

<t>I don't quite understand the difference between the idea that, say, particles are caused (which I am sure they are) and that their subsequent behavior may be undetermined.<br/> <br/> However, it seems to me that string theory can account for it. <br/> <br/> Quote:Quote:<hr>[In the past]"Although ...

Quote:Quote:<hr>All I can say is read it, and I probably will have to again and again. Would you like to save me some time? <hr>

The whole thing you mean? I'm not sure to what you are referring. And how can I save you time?
