God being omniscient (all-knowing) and omnipotent (all-powerful) goes to show he knew everything that would happen before the universe was created, and he created it anyway. Holocaust and all.

I’m too ignorant on the topic. It ranges from Pelosi’s stupidity to good publicity for everyone, and all the strategic calculations in between.
I’m sure China would have spun it in a positive light with their show of force and America’s recklessness. Though I'm not sure the nature of their internal political power struggles.

The DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LOGIC and REASON
I’m gonna go with connotations.
Logic is treated as more cold and calculated while reason is treated as more reflective.

Who made this guy the spokesperson for 74 million Republican voters and how they all think? Why do you think that he qualifies as such?
Republicans by large are opportunist bigots. They’d be happy to jump on almost any hate-filled wagon. There’s nothing special about this consultant sadly.

language predates writing
Alright so you’re moving the goalpost. First it was about holy texts, then poetry, now it’s about language being older than writing.

it sounds like a conversation you should have with 3RU7AL who brought it up.

@ebuc
I would argue that what makes it holy is not just that it expresses a cosmic principle or cosmic physical law, but that it expresses a principle or law that is relevant to biological life of humans and the ecological systems that support and sustains that wholistic set of humans and ecology.This may have been what the GAIA concept was all about., tho it is not necessarily a related to a cosmic physical law or principle.Holy = wholistic set of interrelating phenomena that support the integrity of Universe and the GAIA hypothesis for individual planets, that may be expressed matehmatically, yet lack some consideration of Spirit-1, 2, 3 or 4.
Keep in mind i’m not a big math person which I hope is apparent.
I should have gone this direction with my argument…
One example off the top of my head:
Two quirky mathematicians in love expressing themselves using equations laymen wouldn’t understand.
The laymen would find no spirt due to their lack of understanding.
It would have addressed 3RU7AL talking about deep emotional meaningfulness. Also where we first started off:
meaningful language appears cyclicalyounger generations always want to create new words and phrases to distinguish themselvesmeaningless language (mathematics) is much more stable, but still changes over timeThat makes little to no sense unless by cyclical you mean more commonly spoken. Even though we use basic math all the time to communicate.

@Lemming
Ideas are built upon a conglomerate of things. Once you pick apart individual pieces of it, the concept starts to fall apart.
Big picture we have a general idea of it.

Well yes they can. They can also be expressed with geometry in the form of words, which we’ve been discussing.

Those emotions aren’t coming from language.

in the same way a child's finger-painting is "geometry"
Language conveys information regardless how little you squeeze out of it. Whether it’s finger-painting or learning to spell.
As geometry is mathematics and mathematics is language.

Can you quote what you reply to?
you can’t reasonably say:
Only order exists.
And then say..
Chaotic randomness is only the humans minds inability to find the order, that, is often to ultra-small to detect, or to ultra-large to contemplate reliably.
They’re both of the mind. Both subjective/inter-subjective descriptions.
Other than that you’re preaching to the choir.

This is the first time hearing about this hypotheses. It’s not disputed how powerful language is in shaping the brain.
Humans are still not completely self-aware and probably will never be.

I'd rather be able to 'see someone's genes, than have them hide them.
Does Lemming need genetic charity for his progeny? Joking aside… seriously?
By ‘attractiveness’ and ‘beauty’ we’re all on the same page but you.
You should be more worried about inheritable medical conditions if you’re judging a potential partner based on their genes.

Took a day off, and man did IQs drop sharply while I was away.JFC, Reece. It is a foregone conclusion that black communities with high crime rates know exactly what is happening, but they are just too chicken sh!t to do anything about it. Your psychological projection clearly establishes that the only blind spot here is your own.

Ah, but I am no layman; and the only thing I am fixated on is the truth.
Aren’t we all.
By imposing upon them the same they would impose upon law enforcement and the white population: transparency, personal responsibility and accountability. And that first begins by getting them to take the first step in finding solutions that work for them, and that first step is by admitting that there is a problem.
You don’t think black communities with high crime rates don’t know what’s happening? If so, seems to me you have many blind spots.

I’m not on a strict keto diet.
for example I have a massive fruit and vanilla ice cream smoothie once or twice a week.
Fruits being banana, mango, red papaya, dragonfruit, pineapple, strawberry, black berry, blue berry and other fruits I may have on the table or in the fridge.
I mix almond milk with regular milk.
I’ve been mostly skipping breads, fizzy drinks, potato, sweet potato, savories, etc. The usual.
