  • Yeah? The executives are firing people, to lower costs, make the numbers look better…? Which makes the owners of the business money?

    Why wouldn’t the executives get bonuses or golden parachutes if let go? They are doing exactly what they are supposed to do.

    Executives don’t make products, provide services, or add any productive value. They are just the face of the owners, and will do the “hard” things for them.

    Like lie, commit crimes, do mass-layoffs etc etc.



  • I know, but still, the oldest schools of Buddhism don’t have anything that would equate to what we in the west consider a god, or gods.

    I know that in east asia, south-east Asia etc., there are schools of Buddhism that do have gods.

    But Buddhism being in many ways a rejection of brahamical religion in north india/nepal, also rejected the idea of gods when it first started to develop. I think that’s pretty uncontroversial no?














  • Now imagine you have 0 knowledge or understanding of anything.

    You don’t understand there is a thing called vision. You don’t know about dimensions. You don’t understand that objects exist. That things have shapes, colors perhaps. That there are materials.

    You don’t even have eyes per se, or any other sensor. You can’t see.

    You don’t understand what thoughts are. What concepts are, nevertheless any concepts themselves.

    If I showed you a side-plane picture of a car, directly plugged into your brain, do you think you’d recognize “cars” if we suddenly also gave you eyes and legs and told you walk around downtown?

    From the moment you are born you are “trained”. From the moment the first strains of organic molecules closed themselves off from their environment, they’ve been “trained”.
