Thanks. I generally don't read his threads and was curious. It seems he's dealing with some difficult issues and I wish him the best.

He's definitely heading in a bad direction, his posts were getting incoherent. I hope the lad's ok, and I hope he's doing something positive.

Moonie, on the other hand, seems to be stuck in yet another rut. A comfortable rut I'm sure, since every problem is the result of half of the USA not agreeing with him.
Must be nice to believe you have all the answer's.
 
Einstein thought that people's fear of death was unreasonable because after you die no accidents can happen to you. Not a single thing bad can happen.

Shakespeare >>>> Einstein.

To be, or not to be, that is the question—
Whether 'tis Nobler in the mind to suffer
The Slings and Arrows of outrageous Fortune,
Or to take Arms against a Sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die, to sleep—
No more; and by a sleep, to say we end
The Heart-ache, and the thousand Natural shocks
That Flesh is heir to? 'Tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep,
To sleep, perchance to Dream; Aye, there's the rub,
For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause. There's the respect
That makes Calamity of so long life:
For who would bear the Whips and Scorns of time,
The Oppressor's wrong, the proud man's Contumely,
The pangs of despised Love, the Law’s delay,
The insolence of Office, and the Spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his Quietus make
With a bare Bodkin? Who would Fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscovered Country, from whose bourn
No Traveler returns, Puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have,
Than fly to others that we know not of.
Thus Conscience does make Cowards of us all,
And thus the Native hue of Resolution
Is sicklied o'er, with the pale cast of Thought,
And enterprises of great pitch and moment,
With this regard their Currents turn awry,
And lose the name of Action. Soft you now,
The fair Ophelia? Nymph, in thy Orisons
Be all my sins remembered.[4]

Moonie, on the other hand, seems to be stuck in yet another rut.

M: No you are still stuck in the same rut so I have to keep telling you what it is. You aren't going to get out of it until you see you're in it. You have it all backwards as is par for the defect course.

G: A comfortable rut I'm sure, since every problem is the result of half of the USA not agreeing with him.

M: Again I have to remind you that the rut you are in is the one that is comfortable for you. The conservative brain defect is that it will not admit to any truth that causes emotional upset. So the conservative brain creates an altered reality where it can feel warm and fuzzy but at the cost to your fellow human beings of being delusional. As change accelerates your delusional vision becomes more and more dangerous to the rest of us. The fact of your threat to the sane world is painful to your ego, only reinforcing your delusional state.

G: Must be nice to believe you have all the answer's

M: The science has shown conclusively that the conservative brain is the brain that can't stand uncertainty. You have replaced truth with truthiness, the absolute certainty that what you gut tells you is reality. But what your gut is telling you is to avoid allowing any pain to rise into consciousness. Again, the conservative brain is the one who is certain it has all the answers. Liberals use science to try to figure that out. And that's one of the things we figured out about you.
 
He isn't right, he's actively refusing treatment and often delusional.

This is something that anybody with a smidgen of gray matter should be able to test. Do any of you know what color my irises are? Do you know what I had for breakfast. Do you know I am actively refusing treatment, Do you know if I have ever had treatment I've refused. I won't ask about delusional because so many of you are suffering from it that answers would be worthless. So what we have here if you are truthful is an obvious lying prick who knows things that are impossible for him to know, but here he is, announcing them with wholly intoned certainty as if he really does because in his delusional state what he feels is the truth must in fact be real. He needs not the slightest shred of factual information to know what he can't possibly know. Judge, jury and executioner all wrapped up in one. But what do you expect from somebody who kills kittens for fun.

Does this help?

Our victory.

51 Behold, I shew you a mysterie: we shall not all sleepe, but wee shall all be changed,

52 In a moment, in the twinckling of an eye, at the last trumpe, (for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.)

53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortall must put on immortalitie.

54 So when this corruptible shall haue put on incorruption, & this mortall shall haue put on immortality, then shall be brought to passe the saying that is written, Death is swallowed vp in victorie.54

55 O death, where is thy sting? O graue, where is thy victorie?55

56 The sting of death is sinne, and the strength of sinne is the law.

57 But thankes bee to God, which giueth vs the victorie, through our Lord Iesus Christ.

58 Therefore my beloued brethren, be yee stedfast, vnmoueable, alwayes abounding in the worke of the Lord, forasmuch as you know that your labour is not in vaine in the Lord.
 
So please change the forum rules and make it a free for all.



Oh wait a minute that's what the OT firum is supposed to used to do.

What are you talking about? It seems to me that you made a point about the OP's opinion and conservatism, I responded to that, then you're talking about forum rules.

Delusional, as I said. 😱

You've admitted in the past that you've received psychiatric treatment, you've also said you no longer go for treatment. So, given your behavior and delusions, it's obvious to anyone who reads just a few of your posts that you desperately need to go back. Why won't you?

How do you feel about killing kittens. Don't you think you need help. You mentioned something about having a girlfriend one time. Get help for her. Girls like kittens.

The conservative brain defect is group think, slavish, conformist. They are Old Testament bible thumpers by instinct. They are terrified by deviation and are generally not much fun.

They're tasty with garlic and pepper, the best part is that the bones haven't completely calcified and they're edible too, obviously.

Why did you stop going to therapy?
 
The decline of Rome was followed by the Dark Ages.

After the late-Middle ages you had an upswing in development again with the Renaissance, and the Age of Reason. This was followed by the Revolutions of 1848.

Following this you had the Industrial Era and I don't think there is quite enough hindsight to name anything more modern than that. So going along with the OP's logic of "exponential learning and development clashing with linear human acceptance and implementation of new ideas" I suspect what happens is the development side of things drops off a cliff (In a not-that-much-fun kind of way) as peoples ideas catch up with reality.
Well, there is the information revolution. Thanks too for contributing to the actual topic. The brain defective have huge mouths but little of substance to say. Low level thinkers with big egos.

Are you sort of seconding Einstein's notion of back to sticks and stones?

The moron claimed I was healthier than ten average people, that I wouldn't qualify for disability and I had to go back to work. It's not everybody that's been certified sane.

Einstein probably put too much thought into it since he helped open Pandora's box of nuclear power. I do think that is a game changer. The future into 2050 and such should be interesting how everything plays out. It seems like we develop in short spans and have cooling off eras. I don't see it going all the way back to sticks and stones we still seem to be making progress overall.

You're right, he's a moron. All he'd need to do is follow your posts on AT and he'd see that you aren't sane.

I assured him he was brain defective but he paid no attention. He was professionally trained and a lot smarter than you are. He told me he caught on within seconds of me telling him I was mentally ill. He said that's the last thing the mentally ill realize. He added that the mentally ill come here to convince me they're OK.

Moonbeam is talking about himself.
 
No, it's pure pyschobabble from a delusional person.

Psychobabble is a word that is used by people who get lost easily trying to follow a conversation that requires introspection and are too egotistical to admit they are shallow. It is commonly used by the brain defective. It's a way to offhandedly dismiss people with whom you feel out of your depth to protect your ego from that recognition. You make yourself so small when you do that, and why?.........because you feel so small already.

In therapy, which of course because of your egotistical pride you would never need, how then would you look down on others, you could root up the reasons you were made to feel that way, who it was that put you down and how you were humiliated, why you have the ego you do and why you had to encase yourself in its stone to survive. You could find a way to be reborn. But you would have to find a very good therapist to do it and there are few around with real understanding. Don't go to one who offers you pills and positive thinking, go to one who asks you how you feel. It is this you do not know and the key to everything.

Good luck, my friend. I wish you all of the bliss and the joy down that path that was given to me, or rather that I paid for with real dollar hard cash that's made me a very valuable human being. 😉
