Only in the modern context has man become so lazy that such an idea seems sound, Dan. In order to make water potable, man used to either have to boil it and add herbs to it and drink it immediately or ferment it into something drinkable using specific microorganisms.
Likewise, even the purest matrix of jade or gold is still mixed with a variety of impurities – and not to demean ILP in any way, but I am not sure sure that ILP could be considered the purest matrix of its sort, though I personally find the admixture here pleasantly balanced.
That woman is an example of a subversive mixture of appeal and poison.
Sophists of faith also promise ever-lasting life.
Sophists of philosophy may promise an effort towards truth but the end result is farts and shit on paper and in word, more mind poison.
shrugs All depends on how you look at it. It isn’t like we don’t regularly consume a fair amount of poop from unsanitary conditions in our food-processing.
And I still think that the notion of a matrix of jade is far more apt than a cake with poop in it. Your understanding of the situation may differ.
In the same way a politician becomes more powerful [more controlling] through disempowering his subjects [thus gaining more of the control which was once theirs], most of the poison in any medium is the disempowering factor, which was meant to give more mundane control to its preachers or producers.
Perhaps power is a zero-sum game. No one leader was really more powerful than any others, it just depends on how many people’s rights or power he has taken or disempowered. What do you think?
Ifthere is a finite resource to be taken, and a certain degree of it exists in millions of individual places, then mathematically, a single individual place can only gain more of that finite resource by taking it out of the other individual places.
But new babies are born every day. So the mix changes. Perhaps the finite resource is what is specified as ‘human rights’ or perhaps it is a constitution that people agree on. It is up to how much ‘rights’ we want to give to others.
i think your attachment to your beer is pretty close to religous. Seeing as you center your life and enjoyment around it, the beer becomes your god. As you can see, this is an example of how religions are created, with the centering of one concept as life and its answers.
I just realized that Joker and Bane were both villains of Batman… How lame is that!?
After a little research this Batman Bane doesn’t seem so lame…
[size=75]From wiki:
“Bane is also highly intelligent; in “Bane of the Demon”, Ra’s al Ghul says that Bane “has a mind equal to the greatest he has known”. In prison he teaches himself various scientific disciplines equal to the level of understanding of leading experts in those fields. He teaches himself six active languages and at least two additional arcane and dead ones. The “Bane of the Demon” storyline reveals that he has an photographic memory. Within one year he is able to deduce Batman’s secret identity. He is also highly devious (he crafts the escape from Arkham Asylum of all of Batman’s enemies), and a superb strategist and tactician. In prison Bane also invents his own form of calisthenics, meditation, and a unique fighting style.”[/size]
Ooooo!.. There is a Darth Bane from Star Wars… Coooool. I’m him now… Rather than stupid Batman Bane.
