On another note:
Remember Martin Weyers and Clemsy and bhodibliss? Absent from the Conversations, they post early and often on Facebook, avoiding this forum like it has become something old and worn out.

Law and social mores, ethics and etiquette assume that free will drives most human conduct. People who are pre-demonized before being born know that saintly conduct is never enough when one is poor or black or whatever status the hierarchy puts down. If we could predict consequences, good or bad, fr...

Records and rules and laws. We make lists of things that need doing. Pick up some tea. Get the laundry done. Research a topic online. A sequence of genes for eyes and another for Parkinson's. Every circle contains the math of pi and every asteroid is made of rock and iron. Meticulous boundaries and ...

For Stephen Colbert, truthiness makes eminent good sense. In the face of our current political drama, trumpiness works, too.

There is a disconnect between what I want to believe about my Self and what my father repeatedly told me about myself (that I am ugly and stupid). How I feel about the way I turned out as a human being is a mix of what he never stopped repeating in words and what Campbell taught everyone through his...

I can't say how much I disagree with you Carmela. Mysticism is subjective. We may be completely, totally wrong! However, an active suspension of disbelief (SoD) can be useful. It has been shown through brain scans that SoD and faith relieve pain and create calm energy. Trusting minds live longer, e...

There is the idea of the supernatural world that somehow interacts and intervenes in the natural world, and there is the notion that the world of the spirit is very much a part of the natural world. Naturalism is related to materialism, but it is not the same. There may always be some transcendent r...

I don't know if New Mexico will make it possible for me to run for governor in 2018, but if we made it happen, I would like to be able to run for president after that. Suffering under Trump might pave the way for an outsider like me. We survived Reagan and Bush. I am confident we can use the Trump p...
