- onI just noticed how the "no-self" doctrine supports the "materialist industrial epistemological complex"by
I really appreciate you pointing to the 'claim' nature of this. I think there's something very important and tricky about distinguishing ontological claims and methodological claims... I don't really know how to do it well, it's more intuitive.... - davn8r...
I am a retired Tech guy who spent decades doing research as part of my job. Although the sources and availability of data has changed dramatically, the underlying principles of what denotes trustworthy information remains basically the same.... - onok, not to be a downer or start a fight or offend anyone , I just would like to ask if anyone here has thoughts on the global political scene. I am 58 and have never given two fucks about politics because I just always knew it was a joke, a scam, a game being run on the people. But the moves lately have caught my attention. Yet, I do not watch TV at all. for almost 10 years. Because it is an tool used to control perception and thereby behavior. And I like to be free from control. I have some very radical beliefs, but I am always interested in learning how other people feel and think about their life. I know I am intelligent enough to believe I do not know everything and also that every belief I have now has been expanded from something that came before it so all of my beliefs are subject to be expanded. so if you engage with me be prepared to not take anything I say as something I expect you to adapt to. I have strong feelings, radical beliefs, and I would love seeing if anyone else is fed up with the entire system as I am. 🤸🤸🤸🌼by

Whatever Trump is thinking in his head is secret. But all he talks about is documented. Researching is the key to understanding him.... This post is of utter consequence to me. I don't think I could have come across a better prompt. If I scatter, I apologize; my brain works like a three-D spiderweb, and I sometimes have trouble getting at the information that others find conducive to understanding; please bear... - stripey7...
Indeed. As I suggested above, a cultic studies perspective seems pretty relevant here. Several parts of Robert Lifton's eight-point description of ideological totalism, including sacred science, language loading, milieu control, and demand for purity are observable in the way the... yeah i think there’s a lot research that’s gone into this, and idk if there’s a consensus yet but i’d love to get a summary. I like what Hans Rosling (Factfulness, https://www.gapminder.org/tools/#$chart-type=bubbles&url=v2) and Max Rose https://ourworldindata.org/ do in terms of...
