Re: Thoughts on Christianity

Wow, I am stunned this thread has been ongoing for several years, and even more stunned that it hasn't been locked given that I earlier had a post that was quickly locked. Either way, I was almost hesitant to mention that, as it seems to be a thread with potential significance. I just wanted to ment...

Re: Relevant comedy

So, I just wanted to begin with saying, I can see how earlier in my life I might have found the videos you posted funny. But, I have encountered a lot of people (even in my own family) with this attitude of how it's a sign of intelligence, and even amusing, to take advantage of others, who are less ...

Re: Parenting In the Simulation Age

At the risk of being advised that this is not a place to reach out for problems that require professional therapy (please be a little sympathetic, can you imagine how anyone on this forum would do in such a setting - I trust the majority of us would come out with a stack of prescriptions - but I dig...

Poverty in the USA — why?

I am not sure exactly how to posit it without being offensive, but hear me out. So, I spent a little bit of time with the kids today looking over YouTube; I was trying to explain to them the importance of learning math and science - the main purpose, as I see it, is poverty prevention - in the hopes...

Re: Establishing a Life of Meaning

I did want to also add a small, humorous tangent. I was talking with my husband about the 9/11 psyop revelation, and he was irritated as usual and we got to talking about objective truth versus truth-acquired-through-depending-on-collectively-acquired-data, and he was extolling the virtue of relying...

Re: Establishing a Life of Meaning

Thanks Patrix for your reply. My husband is agnostic and a relatively firm believer in established science so, I'm respectful of the beliefs of others. Honestly, I wish that I had the certainty to be disrespectful - the conviction to such a degree that I was right that I would then want to go out an...

Establishing a Life of Meaning

Somehow I stumbled across this site in a quest to determine whether another website was a psyop. One of the replies to that thread featured tangentially a discussion of St. Anthony. I had never heard of him, so I looked him up, and was rather moved to tears; apparently he spent his short 35 years of...

Required Introduction

Hello, I was hoping to participate in the forum. I am a retired electrical engineer, and more recently a stay at home mother. I selected my username because I admire the compassion of Alice Kinnian, a fictional character in the book Flowers for Algernon; she is supposed to represent a person who lov...
