10k Philosophy challenge
You wiegh your so called freedom against the lifestyle you choose to live; for instance the imagined freedom of a billionaire is being able to do exactly what he wants, within the boundaries of their self-imposed prison; while a mountain man's imagined freedom is to do exactly what he wants to, in the dark and cut off from the world of help if they need it, bc they'll be spending every hour of daylight in the summer, preparing for winter; most of us think we're free, but we've all gotta walk to the shop's when we need something to eat and pay the water-rates when we need to drink/wash/water... Did I win?

What if he hadn't missed?
Indeed, but Don jr. is just a metaphor for who the king maker deems worthy of the crown, and devotion in this manner does seem to transfer rather easily, like someone greased the rail's...

Gaia Hypothesis
What exactly is your question? It seems to be lost down this rabbit hole, I found...

Come on England!!!
Some manager's manage it; it's better to be lucky than right, although that would sail over a bank manager's head...

Why the far right is surging all over the world
We mustn't forget the role of black friday in this; the elderly are afraid of loosing what they have, the young are afraid to be the last to own a 60" smart TV and both are afraid of the people in the queue.

TFG or That Florida Guy? Either way, can the GOP win in 2024?
I always thought it would end with the parrot sketch... 🖖

Gaia Hypothesis
'The importance of being Earnest', explored a similar line of thought...

Come on England!!!
TBH, I don't think a forensic auditor could discern a difference... 🧐 They couldn't recognise the association of the cadence of the walk to the bank with happiness.

Would that have made the GOP temporarily indestructible with Don jnr thrust under the crown?

Come on England!!!
Now where's the profit in that?

Gaia Hypothesis
Gaia as a hypothesis, is just another way to personify a force that's beyond our understanding, an ubermench if you will, with a very specific superpower. Other than that, we're definitely talking past each other. That's evolution. That's right... 🙄

Gaia Hypothesis
No it doesn't, Gaia suggests the earth is always in an ideal state for Earth, it's life that has to fit in...

Hidden authoritarianism in the Western society
Fear in this case is very much an age related issue, with the banner 'it was better back in the old day's where I felt safe'. The balance is wrong and the pendulum is gathering speed towards the inevitable extreme/zenith, and when the young find out 'they're gonna be pissed'.

I sit here and ponder the chaos around me.
It's not about the travel it's about our orientation with in our micro-world's. If you don't wanna listen to it, last fine (my apologies if you're hard of hearing), he does have some interesting points though, he made me sit and ponder... 😉

Please don't make me look that up... Again not really, sure if you find peace that way good luck to you, but that wasn't Will's point; one of his explanations he points to the car and examines the point of that travel, in the form of the screen we see the world through.

It can be if one is dyslexic, metaphorically speaking. I'm not saying I can't get to the shop's, it just takes me longer and I need a nudge sometimes to keep me on track. I stay here, bc I enjoy tje challenge. 🖖

I sit here and ponder the chaos around me.
Thanks for making my point, for instance, if you saw someone in a wheelchair you probably wouldn't say "stop being so lazy, just get up and walk to the shop's". You've made similar comment's in all sorts of thread's, a significant number of them it was your only post/point and did nothing for the discussion at hand. Sorry mate, but you only have to ask and I'll do my best to explain the relevance you don't understand, it would help if you could watch his lecture though, amazingly he does a much better job of speaking it than I can of texting it. Now I've gotta look up Stendhal and his idiom?

HOUSTON, WE HAVE AN ENERGY PROBLEM HERE ON PLANET EARTH.
Well that's just bloody stupid, it's like saying "let's just give everyone a million dollars, that'll get people spending". I just want the rich to pay their tithe

I guess I mean the technological evolution is in miss-step, with our natural perception of the world around us; I can sit here and travel without taking a journey or using my imagination. I can talk to you, via this medium, but our comunication is vague at best...

Will self inspired my ponder with his take on Psychogeography in one of his lectures, below.

Well, I guess we'll both ponder...

Is that downstream of the river I can't cross twice?

That's not exactly it, full of potential is loaded in unexpected ways, technology is much simpler...

I sit here and ponder the chaos around me.
Isn't it incredible, that through nature and technology, I can pick out the specific waves that relate directly to me, in the pool that's foaming from the waves of every single particle in the universe. I'm not sure of the point I'm making, just that it relates to every creed of thought with equanimity...

2024 Presidential Election: Who should replace Joe Biden?
A little to late for a reset, they're past the event horizon; even Trump has been holding his breath while the barrel slips over the falls. All that's left is to hope for survival...
