Applicable to everyone… Mental configurations comprise past and future. The brain is the medium for memory (the past) and conjecture (the future). Real reality really exists in the eternal present. The eternal present is the medium for phenomena. Phenomena are the external world. Past and future ar...

Words can be daggers that enforce a hierarchy. But we live in America "the land of opportunity". There's not supposed to be a hierarchy here, at least in theory. Hierarchy requires a 'pecking order'. Where mockery is the weapon of the privileged, solemnity becomes the defense of the less ...

Just showing a method to "slow down."

Glad to help.

rape = body autonomy usurpation.

That will take the lead foot off the SOC (stream of consciousness).

Well, you obviously have no choice about not understanding, or anything else that follows from that. :D When you think about it, does the judge ever ask, What were you doing in that part of town, and dressed like that? Where is your covering? If the constitution is usurped, that will likely be a leg...

The mundane remains of a lost paradise would be a tragic fate for us.

Now, you might think that Walker's wry, ironic observations about patriarchal society themselves have little to do with the problem of rape.

Never heard of Heather. Because rationality is not exclusive to any one form, rational mind perceptions can independently exist in multiple host forms, once easily detectable patterns become apparent. This is the way of things for thinkers, as you would know if not named just aspirationally. Fauci c...
