Oh Jeez.

My pet peeves only seem to get me banned.

This whole God thing? Ideals are not absolutes!

Truth, beauty, platonic forms are ideals. The core codes, creeds, heroes, narratives at the center of every society are ideals. The universal, on the other hand, is the elemental. A spiritual absolute would be the essence of sentience, from which we rise, not an ideal of wisdom and judgement, from which we fell.

The light shining through the film, than the stories playing out on it.

Science looks to the elements, art looks to the ideals.

Money? It's a contract, not a commodity! A medium, not a store. Blood is a medium, fat is a store. They don't mix! The only way to store the asset side of the ledger is a debt on the other side, so we have ginormous debts, to back the illusion of infinite wealth. The secret sauce of capitalism is public debt backing private wealth.

In a healthy society, one's worth is a function of how much they add, not how much they take. What if the cells in your body all decided they were in it just for themselves? The result would resemble some end state Ebola virus. That's the world we live in.

Time? Yes, as these mobile organisms, this sentient interface functions as a sequence of perceptions, in order to navigate, so we sense the present going past to future, but how hard is to to figure it's activity and the resulting change turning future to past? Tomorrow becomes yesterday, because the earth turns. There is no dimension of time, because the past is consumed by the present, to inform and drive it. Cause becomes effect!

If space actually expanded, the speed of light would have to increase, in order to remain CONSTANT!!! You don't even follow your own rules!!!

Sorry about this. They have been boiling over lately.

The bullshit has been piled too high.
