Yes, except that even governments are pawns just a tool of a hidden elite. I never used to think this could be the case, but as I experience and see more of what's happened and is happening in the world. I am increasingly comming to the conclusion that a plan of taking control and power by an elite ...

yes yet again you are right.a personality like napoleon is a representation of karma so that two wrongs meet to make a righter out come.karma is ingnorance relative to an absolute .so battles are fought by two oppossing ignorances relative to an absolute.the absolute is the teachings of jesus.so hi...

Ok, in that case Napoleon is a historical hero as he took away much of the power of the Catholic Church and the then royal families of Europe. This in turn allowing our society to move forward and free from dogma. I would hate to think where we would be if Napoleon did not change the European politi...

Are you saying that the new Roman Empire with a Pope as it's head had very little to do with the power plays in the region and restricting the advancement of knowledge for hundreds of years.

If Rome never became consumed by Christianity. By now we could have a truly democratic society, the planets natural environment would still be intact, there would have been less wars and we would be more advanced both socially and scientifically. With historians and philosophers lamenting about what...

Over the last few generations here in Australia this same ideology has been creeping in. To the point that our own culture is vanishing and becoming more like the 53 state of USA. The direction seems to be that selling something whether a product, ideas or even ones self is the number one priority a...

I'm only asking because this might have something to do with some of the negative comments you are receiving. Both my parents are German and have been living in an English speaking country for more than 50 years. But they still try to structure sentences like in German. When you do this it can some...

One example is in your last sentence were you used the word "truth" in relation to science. No scientist would use the word "truth" and if he did then it would be thought that he considers himself a God. In place of "truth" he or she might say " my observations sho...

One question though, is English your first language No, danish is my first language, tho my misspelling and stuff should only be bad aesthetic, not really impacting meaning or truth. I'm only asking because this might have something to do with some of the negative comments you are receiving. Both m...

ADHD here in Oz is massively misdiagnosed if you sneeze you can be deemed so. Then it's all about treating the symptoms with medication and very little thought to developing coping mechanisms.

Er, it's fallacy. You are getting mixed up with something else. Best you get it right. Ludwik, welcome. Word of warning: don't engage HexHammer. He is highly disruptive on this forum. I defeat you with logic and reason, and you call me disruptive. Just because I burst your silly fairytale bubbles a...

Well at least I see, that we're 'all' equal, it's just that many of us don't treat each other that way! I see that it's something to do with not seeing the life, for the self. People communicate ideas in different ways the skill is in identifying this and approaching dialogue with this in mind. Cul...

Hex,
Since one definition of philosophy includes knowledge and principles that govern and influence moral judgement, science alone cannot be the only evidence used as I believe you are implying. So I don't believe you are talking about philosophy.
