Some say this balance of power from the west has already shifted, they could be right, if this was a card game, the US still has a Trump card. A “card” indeed, the joker’s face is a laughing stock yet this card sits atop the most powerful Republic this...
Not having thought out the logistics of the experiment, the theory should give Scientists some powerful empirical data. The experiment goes like this. Categorize cognitive load....
Free Will is an illusion. We are actors on a stage of consciousness, free to participate or not. Nodes of negation propagate and persist. This show must go on! Do you play a part? Of course you do, we all do and if not, we all should....
There is a beauty and appreciation linking poetry to theology, but wonder shouldn't be limited to an ideology. Turn the pages of Boccaccio's The Life of Dante by Boccaccio (translated by Vincenzo Zin Bollettino), it will help. Write poetry....

From Dante (1321) to Hieronymus (1516), this 195 years of difference is generational. The former is an example of shoulder standing, the latter looks down the ladder with shaky knees....
Influence matters. When a giant like Dante says his Commedia is 'the' truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, should have had him sign an affidavit? This fateful contract with the poets was hijacked by religious zealots....
Our truth-seeking compasses should be guiding our relationships. Would the concept of love exist without other people?...
Your magnum opus should be directed towards the vector of perfection with room for error. Deviations are permitted if realigned or defendable. Shortcuts are not! Read Mandelstam’s essay....
Our fictional fathers, prodigal sons and pandering prophets should be fictionalized and demoted to the myths they are. From uppercase God to lowercase god, we can thank Christopher Hitchens for that. Seeing “thank”, “god”, and “Hitchens” written so close together is inspirational at best, especially when the attribution of “thanks”...
This chapter deals with topics associated with depression and suicide. In now way do I want to leave the reader with a romanticizing of or trivializing of these serious topics. I believe the topics should be written about, talked about and not suppressed or marginalized in our mind as a...

(duplicate) Metaphysics should be (and I don't use the word, "should" lightly), play only an ephemeral role to create information structures written in the same logic as fundamental to truth and reason....

The very first thing that you should notice is cell A2; Socrates and Plato are combined into one single unit with 62 occurrences....
"What you see (is not always what) you get". This is what David Bohm should have said! “Live with it and accept it as part of the whole” sounds too much like an escape hatch, a safety shoot to a realm of blissful indifference....
To be or not is no longer the question. Would our...? Could our...? Should our...? Those are the questions that TRUMP the new generation. Being is self-evident....
Should implies ought, and ought implies ethics, ethics imply morality and morality is non-scientific?...
How do we postulate from the negation of a should statement? From presupposition to predisposition then responsion....
Should our theoretical physics remain immune to our wordly attacks? They will not we postulate! They will not!...
From Newton's perspective, he can see an ocean of possibilities yet no shoulder standing will change his horizon for the pepples he ponders are also a horizon. This is relativity. The should in shoulder is the embodiment and landscape of my QFT and Horizon Principle....

Exceptions yes, but these should be treated as Black Swans and part of the whole rather than the exception. An invisible minority. Too much attention to these anomalies breeds fear and loathing. How do you protect the doves of the Republic from the Hawks of evolution?...
The basic principle should postulate, "We all view ourselves as fundamentally good." This is very Jordan Peterson”ish”....
We need more thinkers like Aristotle. Like Steven Pinker. Your list should be at least thirty-two long, mine is....
Beyond kin, beyond 'us versus them,' sustainability is living lives worth living. Is this honourable, just, generous, courageous, loyal or free from greed, intemperance and violence? It should be good enough....
I am reminded of labeling “instinct” as a catchall for alternative thoughts of futurity not experienced. The discussion shouldn’t be a rejection of anthropomorphism or pure instinct....
A poignant feeling of frustration and disappointment for losing, what should have been, a momentous chip-dip union....

Pointing to exceptions shouldn’t discredit the L.A. [language animal] theorem, (continued below)......
Beating to the heartbeat of mother nature. Can you hear it? That gentle tap on your shoulder. Why did you destroy this planet?...
