For sure.

ORGASMO will provide an instantaneous and all encompassing physiological experience....Without having to think about it.

Currently, social media is awash with images of butch female footballers.

And I chuckle and ask myself 

Hmmmmmmm, how far from the cave have we actually strayed.

Still can't quite get to grips with the penis vagina thing.

Exactly.

Though I would suggest that the "present" as a remark is more of a general appreciation of recent events. 

I think that the word now, is a more appropriate descriptive of the ongoing moment.

But it takes far longer to utter the word "now" than the duration of the  moment  it attempts to capture lasts.

Nonetheless we can seemingly have a certain amount of confidence that we do exist in the present for a moment.

Memorable experiences would seem to confirm this.

Though it can easily be argued that experiences and memories are simulations of existence, rather than an actual appreciation or recollections of an externality.

But I digress.

And it just occurred to me:

That, even though the speed of time is immeasurably fast, we still manage to keep apace with it.

Relativity I suppose.

And I easily demonstrated that 0.9... will always fall .1 or .01 etcetera, short of 1.

No rigour required.

And FLRW and myself understand each other well enough.

I would suggest that their remark was actually aimed at the futility of the ongoing 0.9... issue, and those who like to make it an issue.

Hi Tim.

In the first instance, I was simply pointing out that a lifespan can neither be shortened or increased.

I don't see how such a simple fact can be affected by moral concepts.

Moral concepts are relative to interactive behaviour, and interactive behaviour might curtail a life's duration, thereby finalising a lifespan.

Two related but separate discussions.

Nope.

Jesus traipsed around the Arabian Peninsular for 30 years or so with his boyfriends.

And then got nailed to a post by the Roman authorities......So he must have done something wrong.

And then his boyfriends wrote some tall tales about him.

For sure.

Recreational sex is fun.

I think that as a species, we realised this a few thousand years ago.

Though we've been experiencing hang-ups about it ever since.

And the search for sexual fulfilment is seemingly an unfulfilled quest.

Perhaps some sort of techno-implant is the solution.

Let's call it the ORGASMO.

All procreation will be In Vitro, and all workers will be asexually engineered and fitted with an automated ORGASMO implant.

No more sexual hang-ups.

The future,

Is only bright,

If she, 

Can procreate.

Which is feasible,

But currently  requires,

Reverting,

To type.

As,

Biological evolution,

Will not keep pace,

With,

Socio-psychological,

Trend.

Well.

Procreation tends to be the result of binary fusion.

So one might suggest that GOD is hermaphroditic. 

So Seahorses might also be relevant.

And I was suggesting that we might manifest as GODS in something else's simulation.

One can only work on assumptions relative to the self-contained.

Though if our assumptions are reasonable, I would suggest that existence is relative to the speed of time.

And the speed of time is seemingly........Infinitely fast......Making existence immeasurable.

Past and future are perhaps only self-contained mental exercises.

Well, I constantly promote the simulation idea. 

As in functionality can only reproduce a simulation.

So in that context, a GOD realm might exist.

Similarly, we might be GODS.

Hi Son.

Yes I will check out Chico and give you an honest opinion.

Though I might struggle if it is in Portuguese.

0.9999....Never equals 1.

And joke or not. .....It's actually a reasonable consideration, relative to reductionism.

Yep.

I agree.

But how many people behave like that?

Hi Tim.

Not sure that's articulated enough.

The only relevant appreciators of the exercise would be the deceased, who by definition wouldn't notice any difference in lifespan. Whether that be 10 years or ten days.

As an exercise, one might as well present two comparative mathematical equations and ask, which is best.

Sort of......Which is preferable...... 100 - 10  or 100 - 1 x 10.

But that basically says that this scenario isn't possible, whereas another hypothetical yet similar scenario is possible.

Because your scenario  suggests a sentient GOD.

And a sentient GOD suggests an existent mechanism contrived of matter, which would necessarily have to play by all the same rules.

Which is feasible, but only to the point of nothingness.

Time is an intangible potential that allows an event to have duration.

We can appreciate duration.

But can we ever pin down the moment we refer to as now.

Does now ever occur.

Or is there only future potential and past events.

Therefore....Does a real moment ever occur.

I wish that I could outwish all other wishes.

So.

Q. When is real?

At the end of the day.

Who can lift the heaviest weight is of no importance.

It's the money that's important.

Which would suggest that transgenderism is a cynical fraud.

Everything that occurs within a universe at any given moment is real at that moment.

Well.....I think that it is.

Or.........Thought that it was.

How long do thoughts exist for?

How long do moments last?

Does now ever exist?

I wouldn't agree.

Some would seemingly fail the system and some would seemingly make a success of the system.

Which would suggest that failure or success relative to a system that undoubtedly provides opportunity, is down to the individual.

Which would further suggest that other influences outside the system play a greater role in educational success or failure.

0.9 = nine tenths.

Therefore ten tenths = 1.

0.99 = 99  hundredths

Therefore a hundred hundredths = 1

0.999 = 999 thousandths.

Therefore a thousand thousandths = 1

And so on.

Are you sure that's enough?

And is that the point at which matter ceases to exist?

So 6 billion are being tortured.

Which leaves 2 billion torturers.

1 in 3

Feasible statistic I suppose.

 

Q. How long would it take 6 billion people to press the one available stop button.

 At 1 per second, it would take 6 billion seconds.

That's about 190 years.

Q. How long would it take to retro-fit 6 billion stop buttons.

I think that in both instances, supply would never keep up with demand.

Though there would be species regeneration to consider.

Another supply and demand issue.

And let's not forget the poor people having to maintain such a high level of torture.

The workload would be torturous.

I suppose that in both camps some would undoubtedly achieve erotic satisfaction.

Would this be moral?

Tommy Tuberville is onomatopoeic.

Which is odd, because the guy is reasonably slim.

This is probably why you mistakenly referred to him as big and fat.

And we all like to think our Dad's were hero's.

My Dad was Superman.

GOD is a broad concept relative to human ignorance.

In that sense God is not required to be an existent entity.

So any creation type hypothesis derived from human ignorance, can be referred to as GOD.

Therefore GOD is BIG BOOM and BIG BOOM is GOD.

Or Dave.

But GOD is a widely accepted name.

And I think ALAN is well accepted in some quarters.

And something from nothing will continue to remain unresolved.

Therefore, some might argue that reality can never be anything more than a simulation of an unreasonable assumption.

Exactly.

And that is why some people make a living from predicting the future.

But like I said, if said predictor guesses correctly people are happy to ignore all the incorrect guesses.

And if you watch and analyse a hundred theatrical mediums, you will see that they all use the same technique.

They will target specific pre-selected vulnerable people and elicit information from them using leading questions.

It's actually very entertaining to watch.

Occasionally they get caught out by a prankster......Which is also very entertaining.

Don't be fooled.

So how can a life span be any shorter or longer than what it is?

So a person lived for 50 years.......Life span 50years.

If same person had perhaps lived a healthier life style, they may have lived for 60 years.......Lifespan might have been 60years......But this is only speculation.

We can only know a persons actual lifespan, which is the duration of life from conception to death.

Speculation is futile.

Does 0.9 = 1?

No because the difference is significant.

Does 0.99 = 1?

No because the difference is still significant.

So how many 9's are required to make the difference insignificant?

Ones body usually decides ones fate.

If we had free will we could override the body.

We commit suicide for reasons.

If he was ignored he would eventually go away.

Certain age groups are well known to have a propensity for irrationality.

Especially Male.

Hormones are to blame.

Can I be the independent analyst?

There is no actual explanation for the beginning.

Just speculation.

And some  speculations are more preposterous than others.

Magical Blokes is pretty preposterous, don't you think?

A lifespan cannot be reduced or increased.....A lifespan is what it is.

Debateart is great.

Even the whining kids.

Sort of mostly boys under 25.

Probably not currently in meaningful relationships.

Only jibing.

Though Debateart is still great.

Trickery.

Usually by coercing gullible people with leading questions.

At the end of the day, it's all about making money.

And predictions are easy to make.

Human nature is repetitive and therefore predictable.

And so are natural events.

And some people will remember reasonably accurate predictions with awe, and want to forget about all the inaccurate stuff.

And a few people will make a living from predicting.

The human mind has the potential to overthink.

And brain chemistry has the potential to generate  fantasy and illusion.

AKA storytelling.

Which will inevitably result in gullible people with the potential to believe.

Why talk through a donkey.

I thought that GODDO was supposed to be Mr Sensible.

Was he having a bit of a fun Shrek moment.

Is he green?

Does he photosynthesise?

Maybe.

What they leaving,

Where they going,

All they're doing,

Is not doing this,

Anymore,

Perhaps.

Bye

Bye.

Common sense tells us that hominids probably evolved somewhere in Africa.

And that Adam and Eve are a reasonable analogical tale made up a few thousand years ago, or a few hundred thousand years later.

Though the analogical tale is contradictory as I stated.

Artistic licence if you like.

Literally metaphorical.

I agree.

I personally wouldn't regard the Pyramids as sculptures

Though the monumental Pyramids were built and installed, with a both representative and functional purposes in someone's mind.

And formed from rock, sculpted into cuboid blocks.

So each block falls within the semantic remit of sculpture.

Have a nice day I_06.

Illegal is often irrelevant.

Functionality dictates actions , and can easily override or facilitate conceptuality.

Inexact thoughts.

Though with regards to the question.

Buildings have a functional intent and sculpture has artistic intent.

Though for sure, language can accommodate the two, together in the same sentence.

Monuments, such as the Eifel Tower or Statue of liberty are perhaps representative structures.

Statues generally represent figures.

An art installation is what it is......Three dimensional constructed art within a specific space.

Though for sure also, language would be able to accommodate all of the above into one sentence.

Try it on the Egyptian Pyramids for example.

Though when it comes to interpreting a narrative, if one has a reasonable command of the relevant language, the one will probably tend to to make appropriate differentiations between the various objects.

Probably true.

But not necessarily a compatible synopsis these days.

Slavery helped to shape the modern World.........That's the be all and end all of it.

No going back.

And then there are installations, monuments and constructions et al.

How much can one get for a foetus these days.

OK, so maybe it's a peace of mind thing.

But one might also find peace of mind in the killing of Russians or other terrorists.

Therefore dead human tissue can be just as emotionally valuable as living human tissue.

Cristo71, sounds like a vintage wine.

Black grapes or white grapes.

Though technically grapes are neither black nor white.

It's just fruit discrimination.

I blame molecules.

Though a lot of people have a tendency to blame each other.

Atheism is sitting there and thinking what a load of tosh, when the religiously brainwashed start to bleat.

But in general, atheist is not being brainwashed with a load of religious tosh.

Of course, other bleating is available, and all levels of intellectual brain state are acquired.

So it could be said that theistic bleating generally occurs within the lower ranges of the intellectual scale relative to formative conditioning.

Though lower level theistic bleating should not be  confused with higher level theistic tyranny....Or vice versa.

Such are the capabilities and vulnerabilities of the human mind.

Basically....I am atheist, because I was not taught not to be atheist.

Which is not quite the same as not being taught to be theist.

I was encouraged to be theistic

But also simultaneously encouraged to be open-minded.

Therefore I prefer to think of myself as being open minded rather than atheist, but nonetheless atheist in the sense described above.....Which is to say, not a theist as described above.

Red hat man.
