Ok, thanks. I'll tick 'Politico' as a media source you deem credible. Good to know.

Re: Conscience, the experience of wisdom
That's it, isn't it - a perfect description of feminine ethics. It feels right therefore it is right. For me this is the exact opposite of 'conscience'. However, maybe Pam can elucidate her thinking.

Re: Statement about Solway and Trump
Hang on, that doesn't follow. I don't believe we're finding out anything. I don't trust a word Stone says. It was only a few months ago that it was being reported a Bannon/Kushner bromance was developing and Bannon was spruiking Kushner in glowing terms. There is so much bullshit and intrigue and in...

Just out of curiosity, 'wiseman', can you name the top 5 'philosophers' by your racial/ethnic standards.

Re: Statement about Solway and Trump
Your post contained no argument and therefore received none in response. Deal with it. Remedy it. Your point about philosophy was laughable. Utterly laughable. That you made it tells me you know jack about the history of philosophy.

I can't tell if you're trolling or joking. I guess the third option is that you're actually serious. White male supremacist bullshit like this belongs on some weird channel on Youtube.

Re: Statement about Solway and Trump
As to dissidents, oligarchs, etc. All that may be true, it likely is. It does not make Russia the enemy. It does not warrant provoking a situation that leads to the threat of war and confrontation. I would be far more worried about the US establishment and the proven dangers it represents when it c...

If a sage spies a toddler playing with a loaded gun, does he ignore it? Even the most feminine minded mother type will rush to save the child. All people eat food. Even mothers eat food.

Re: Statement about Solway and Trump
Diebert, I have a query: how do you actually envisage a truly wise person engaging with the world? How do you imagine them functioning on a daily basis? Do you see them as an entirely detached observer? Can you imagine, for example, a wise person defending themselves physically against an attack?

Dissidents, journalists, political opponents, diplomats who've outlived their use etc. Does anyone know how Putin and his faithful side-kick Medvedev became so filthy rich on a lousy bureaucrat's salary - the grand generosity of Russian oligarchs?

The source of the material of that page, Suzanne Segal, is a highly problematic character in that it seems she may well have mistaken a dissociation disorder caused by brain damage for enlightenment.

Re: Examining The Wisdom of the Infinite
Consciousness is not a causal agent. It has no power to cause anything. The subject/object duality is not real. Consciousness has no more power to 'cause' a thing than it has to cause itself. Consciousness is what we conventionally describe as its 'objects'.

Re: Statement about Solway and Trump
One is not born aware of attachment and non-attachment, ergo at some point non-attachment must be desired if one no longer desires to be attached. One does not really desire non-attachment, other than in the sense wherein one recognises non-attachment as the same thing as absence of ignorance (and ...

Re: Examining The Wisdom of the Infinite
The issue of how enlightenment engages with the world is a secondary matter to what enlightenment actually is. I don't think the latter point is meaningful without the former having been first determined.

My thinking on the issue is pretty much aligned with the Chris Hedges video that Dan posted a couple of days ago - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Na_jAtxpmiI. Although it doesn't cover the whole issue, it does highlight some of the most pertinent factors. No, he only agrees with Bannon et alii to ...

I wasn't intending to imply you're a theist, but simply to make my own case about the 'source' of morality without having to type a gazillion words. Naturally atheists are moral people. I'm not sure amorality is possible in the context of a teleological consciousness (i.e. a consciousness that invol...
