Now the idea of progress or improvement for progeny leads to placing values on sacrafice, or more correctly, on ego-negation (which is perhaps the real goal of this entire idea). At the same time, in recent times, with the advent and popularization of secularaism and scientism, a real dearth of attention is placed on the mind-body connections and realing dealing with the psychophysical realm of human life. This in turn leads to a slow forgetting that this is important since it is not a priority (we have killed God). >>

Let me first state that I relate to the sentiment expressed in your post, as I believe many here do... knowingly or not

I guess I'd like a further examination of the idea of progress as it relates to this discussion. I don't think we have an adequate definition of the term to enable fair discussion.

Are you saying that the idea of progress has replaced the function of spirituality in Western thought? I think a case can be made that for a couple thousand years the two have maintained a seperate and somewhat parallell place in western culture. I can cite Roman philosophy/science and religion as an example of this.

Your thoughts?

My first post... a discussion with linuxboy... He is missed.
Wonder if I'm recognized at this point, but only marginally care.

You may achieve 10,000 posts, but you will never be able to feast on krill, small fish, and squid. Or survive -40 degree celsius weather. You have failed at life. The penguin is your master. Kneel, and be counted.

10k==lifer

Elite is something that requires the respect of your peers (someone has to give a good reason for you to be an elite) and people have to support your nomination.

This means that neither you, nor I have a good chance of ever becoming an elite.

I would consider myself an ATOT failure if I *ever* get nominated for elite.
