Philosophical Speculations

OK David, there's nothing below that first lines (which you quoted) that was addressed to you personally. It's a general discussion on the common reasons of attacks and short details about the races. I'm not here to change anyone's mind. It was only fair to present the other side to such accusations...

In relation to Steiner adulators, I wonder what 'they' make of his less well publicized beliefs and pronouncement in terms of what said pronouncements imply about his thought-feeling-n-belief-process, IOW his soul's developmental status? Take this, for example - from https://morningstaronline.co.uk...

True, and I can't help but think of veganism and Gaia-style environmentalism in the context of spirit-porn. That stuff sells like hot cakes! Somewhere down the line you happen upon antinatalism, which is the most fetishistic of them all. Yeah. Many of these movements emerge from half-understood sen...

Here's a little theorizing, dreaming and sleeping ... These things are necessary. We can't have consciousness in a physical body without them :) The important thing is to trace their origins. In this sense, one of my favorite domains of purely abstract thought is non-linear systems, recursion, IFS,...

our collective subconscious has evolved so that they are more readily absorbed by myself and others who are genuinely seeking Nicely said. Yes, there's change in the last 100 years.

In materialism is more or less ...

which already brings in a fair amount of concepts most Christians would balk at :shock: Yeah, I wouldn't recommend The 5th Gospel easily. Simply because there are things that must first be well understood and lived through. It's like being a mathematician in a world where math is nonexistent and yo...

Freedom to create entails freedom to destroy, as one can't be apart from the other. Undoubtedly. That's what freedom is all about. :!: (warning! poetry ahead :lol: ) We can image a much more harmonic Cosmic scenario, where we go through existence as a child through amusement park - everything is sa...

Sure David, :) It hasn't been my point to quibble. I take it in Hegelian sense - to every thesis we can find an antithesis and their synthesis leads to higher unity. Which itself would have to find its antithesis and so on. That's how we agitated our soul bodies and moved up the thread further, rath...

The hidden message of the post was "You can't infer the existence of free will by measuring complexity of behavior". Simple machines can exhibit complex behavior, as it is well known from chaos theory, double pendulums, cellular automata and ... washing machines. Point was - I can only fin...
