While it doesn't do anything against unfair and anti-consumer markups, Ford is taking contractual action against dealers and potential scalpers.
It seems that Ford is ready to do nearly anything to protect the upcoming F-150 Lightning EV pickup from negative news or a poor customer experience. The automaker is hoping to head off a big potential doozy that's endemic to hotly anticipated new car debuts: Egregious dealer markups on new F-150 Lightnings. Dealers are being warned against asking for additional deposits or any other presale payments. It also puts in a new "no-sale" provision upon purchase for the customers, to prevent folks from flipping their Lightnings for a quick buck.
Extra Deposits
The warning memo to the Ford dealers—that was originally screenshot and posted on the F150Gen14.com forum before it was deleted at the request of Ford—is more of a way to protect the brand from negative reviews from customers after much of the debacle from new Bronco sales. That is, customers put up a deposits to reserve their new Ford 4x4s on Ford's site only for franchise dealers to come back and demand more money before they would sell that customer a new Bronco.
Ford already has a tool on their franchise dealer agreement under "Paragraph 6(i)" that states: "The Dealer shall conduct dealership operations in a manner that will reflect favorably at all times the reputation of the dealer, other company (Ford) authorized dealers, the company, company products and trademarks and trade names used or claimed by the company or any of its subsidiaries." This includes a provision that the dealer "shall avoid in every way any 'bait,' deceptive, misleading, confusing, or illegal advertising or business practices." Any dealer caught doing this by Ford will have their allocation of F-150 Lightnings "redirected" for the entirety of the 2022 model year.
Scalper Prevention
A later portion of the Ford memo answers the potential scalper issues seen with many limited products, be it by design or by supply issues. The "No-Sale Provision" laid out by Ford prevents new owners of the 2022 F-150 Lightning from immediately reselling their new truck after getting it from the dealer. Ford said its dealers may add the following paragraph to their closing documents or as a new, standalone document.
"Purchaser hereby agrees that it will not sell, offer to sell, or otherwise transfer any ownership interest in the vehicle prior to the first anniversary of the date hereof. Purchaser further agrees that seller may seek injunctive relief to prevent the transfer of title of the vehicle or demand payment from purchaser of all value received as consideration for the sale or transfer." In other words, you buy the Lightning, you're stuck with it for a full year from your purchase date. It's a similar solution tried by Ford for the GT supercar, but we also know how that actually worked.
However, the one problem Ford didn't address in this letter? Anti-consumer markups. We understand the need for markup due to market demand and that it's a part of the capitalist marketplace. It's the markup of nearly half or even double the price of MSRP is what ruins the dealership experience for consumers and gives the biggest blackeyes to the automakers. This also needs to be curved, but it seems like this isn't a priority for any OEM with a franchise dealership model, at the moment. So prepare to possibly pay more for your Lightning, but not in the form of extra deposits or the like.

Do you 'live within one day's walking distance of the centre of Cambridge'? Well, you could be the city's next Bard...
You need to have a passion for words - and social justice
Jasmine Watkiss
From left, Fay Roberts, Uppahar Subba, Nikki Marrone, Cambridge Bard Marion Leeper, Mark McGivern, Wesley Freeman-Smith, and J.S. Watts at the end of the first Chairing of the Cambridge Bard in June 2016.
Do you have a way with words? Are you musically talented? Do you have a burning ambition to represent the community? Well, your dream job has just become available, because applications for the next Cambridge Bard are now open.
The Bard of Cambridge is an all-singing, all-dancing representative of the people.
Historically, bards were people who acted as a local historian, poet, diplomat, musician, and news-bringer in their community.
The Bardic tradition has seen a revival throughout England in recent years, and it is putting down new roots in Cambridge.
To be considered for the role of the Bard of Cambridge, you need to have a passion - and talent - for words, be it in song, poetry, or storytelling.
You should also be motivated by social justice, and be willing to serve the people through your creativity.
The Cambridge Bard also needs to live within one day's walking distance of the centre of Cambridge - how quaint!
The title is held for a year and a day, before being passed on to the next successful Bard.
Cambridge's current and inaugural Bard is local storyteller and poet Marion Leeper.
Marion Leeper, Bard of Cambridge 2016-17
Marion said: "It has been so much fun for the whole year. I was the first Cambridge Bard so I feel very lucky.
"My advice to anyone considering the role would be to just go for it. When I heard about the role last year I thought 'I can't do that' - but someone told me to have a go, and I did.
"My day job fits in well with my Bardic role in that I am a storyteller.
"Being the Bard has allowed me to meet all kinds of interesting people, and visit a lot of different places.
"I've found that the role involves a lot of listening to the people of Cambridge, which I really enjoy.
"It has been a great thing to do, and I hope the tradition will take off even more in the coming year."
Applications are open from 6pm today (Tuesday, April 18) until Monday, May 29 at 6pm. Fill in an application form here.
To be considered for the role, applicants must pass several creative and performance trials to win the title.
The new bard will be 'crowned' at the Chairing of the Bard of Cambridge ceremony, which will form the climax of the Cambridge alternative literature festival In Other Words, running from June 16 to 18 this year.

                          THE HAIRDRESSER'S HUSBAND
                       A film review by Frank Maloney
                        Copyright 1992 Frank Maloney

     THE HAIRDRESSER'S HUSBAND (LE MARI DE LA COIFFEUSE) is a French
film directed by Patrice Leconte, from a screenplay by Leconte and
Claude Kotz.  It stars Jean Rochefort and Anna Galiena.  Not rated;
contains adult subject matter.  English subtitles.

     THE HAIRDRESSER'S HUSBAND is a very personal follow-up to Patrice
Leconte's MONSIEUR HIRE (1990).  This new film tells the story of a man
who is obsessed from childhood with the idea of marrying a hairdresser
like the voluptuous Alsatian coiffeuse who barbered and aroused him
during his boyhood vacation to the seaside.  Both films are about
obsession, about erotic fantasy.  Both films are short (89 minutes for
HIRE, 84 for HUSBAND); both are economical, spare, pure, and precise in
their narratives.  However, whereas HIRE was cold, monochromatic,
HUSBAND is warm, romantic, idyllic, intensely restrained, and full of
humor and sensuality.  HIRE is the dark and HUSBAND is the light; this
is not to say that HUSBAND is not ultimately sad, however.

     The two principals are well cast.  The familiar face of Jean
Rochefort (MY WONDERFUL LIFE, PARDON MON AFFAIRE, THE TALL BLONDE MAN
WITH ONE DARK SHOE, and many others) is remarkable in the way it
combines a merry twinkle behind its melancholy, droopy wrinkles.  He is
absolutely charming, utterly convincing, as the man whose happiness to
completely given over to his obsession.  To see him slide and windmill
through the Algerian pop songs he loves to dance to is to see a man who
cares only for the opinions of one other person in the whole world, a
person utterly convinced of his rightness, and doomed to a great love
and a terrible fate for his singlemindedness.

     Anna Galiena is not only a vision of healthy young beauty, she is
self-contained, mysterious, brave enough to marry and love a stranger,
but not ready to be a companion to a mere friend, not quite brave enough
for change.

     The story line is thin, but the emotional content of HUSBAND is
rich in its sensitivities and telling observations.  The use of
character study more than makes up for the lack of story.  We really
don't have to know how Antoine can live without working; he lives on
love obviously.  It is his love for Mathilde that is the point, not some
mundane side issue of mere money.  Mathilde wants to live in an
unchanging world, where love is always the first rush of infatuation,
where people never age, where every day is cutting hair and every night
is making love in the shop.  It is Mathilde's obsession, not Antoine's
-- all he wants to do is live with and love his hairdresser forever --
that leads to the tragedy.  The final scene is the funny-sad result --
the patient waiting for something that will never happen again.

     THE HAIRDRESSER'S HUSBAND is a strange movie, a whimsical fantasy,
almost a fairy tale, deeply personal, but quite approachable.  It is
elegantly told.  It is not quite moving in the lachrymose sense, but I
think it will be a movie that will stay with me for some time.

     I recommend THE HAIRDRESSER'S HUSBAND.  It is worth even full
ticket prices.

Every child is unique, and each one has their own special way of learning. Children have been literally forced to try to learn by traditional means, one way of learning for the entire class. Rocketship Education is an innovative learning style that not only educates the students, they inspire communities, engage the parents in student learning, and empower the teachers to strive for excellence in teaching and leadership. The Rocketship Education System is a non profit network of public charter elementary schools. These schools are designed for children that live in low income to poverty leveled neighborhoods and do not have access to excellent, good quality schools. The students are given personalized lessons that are developed for their particular style of learning. Whether the student is a visual learner, learn best bu listening, or a kinetic learner, the teachers are prepared to offer the best plan for them. The teachers at Rocketship are backed by coaching professionals to give them the most modern and up to date learning techniques. They are given in house staff development and leadership training so that they can best serve the students.
At the Rocketship Schools, the students are called Rocketeers. Each Rocketeer has lessons that are tailored to their learning style, and targeted to meet their specific needs. The combination of tutoring, technology and traditional instruction allows each student to learn at their own pace. The Rocketship model finds that by having parents engaged in the learning process helps to eliminate the student achievement gap. Parents play an essential role in the blended model. Parents are the most powerful advocates for their children and community. They provide the leadership at home by being the positive role models, taking care of home and helping with homework. Parents are also leaders in the community by being in advocacy groups, and standing up for their children and their community. Rocketship started from the realization of a pastor who discovered that non of his young people in his parish were academically qualified to attend any college. After much work, the first Rocketship opened after 2006, in the Bay Area, California.

Signs of wear: We looked for nicks and scratches on the surfaces of the floor-model tables as an indication of how the tables would carry out beneath severe use in the residence.

Faq & Quation for Ventura Side Chair (Set of 2) By Loon Peak ?
The Ventura Side Chair (Set of 2) By Loon Peak is beautiful and solid. It required some time to put it jointly, and the recommendations were good. My simply complaint about the table may be the piece on the bottom of the table - you cannot employ a standard umbrella base. There isn't enough room for a umbrella base. Now we want to find a flat foundation, which is hard to find. If I new these details, I would of picked a unique table.
I ordered 3 stools plus they arrived 2 times in the future. I took a risk and ordered the crimson afteroses reading other evaluations that the colour was unique of how it appeared in the online images. I think the colour is perfect and matches the online photos pretty close. These were very easy to assemble. I did so smell the gasoline smell that other people commented about, nonetheless it was the plastic material wrap/packaging, not the bar stools themselves.
Delivery was directly on, actually early. The placed arrived in perfect condition. Assembly went well with step by step instructions. Took about 1-1/2 hours. Very pleased with top quality and appears of arranged. Just as displayed in picture. The light set was precisely what I necessary for my kitchen with gray seats. My primary purchase, but not at all my last.

The Guardian view on Zimbabwe's crackdown: Mugabe went, but the regime lives on
The ruthless crushing of protests shows how little has changed since Emmerson Mnangagwa took over
Soldiers on the streets of Harare, Zimbabwe, earlier this week. Photograph: STF/EPA
People do not always want to be proved right. Many Zimbabweans watching the brutal crackdown on protests this weekend were the same people who had celebrated Robert Mugabe's ousting in 2017. But they had tempered their optimism by warning that only very limited and superficial improvements were likely. They predicted that the successful coup would further embolden the military, and that putting in charge the feared security chief Emmerson Mnangagwa was a recipe for further repression. Irregularities at last year's election, and the violence used to suppress ensuing protests, made their case for them. Now reports of torture, indiscriminate beatings, live fire and arbitrary arrests have rammed it home. At least 12 people have been shot dead and hundreds have been arrested.
Even some sceptics had hoped the new president would at least alleviate economic woes. Instead, conditions have worsened. In December, inflation hit a 10-year high, officially reaching 42% (though one estimate put it at around 235%). The government then more than doubled fuel prices, triggering calls for a strike. Unions organising the protest urged participants to "stay away" from demonstrating for fear of state violence. But thousands took to the streets, looting and rioting broke out, and the state struck back viciously. Mr Mnangagwa was forced to return home just as he was supposed to be telling global leaders at Davos that Zimbabwe was open for business. The bloody repression, and internet shutdown, are unlikely to entice foreign investors.
The regime's pronouncements on the protests have been extraordinarily mixed. It blamed the political opposition and warned that repression was "just a foretaste"; then blamed shootings on criminals who stole uniforms from security forces. Mr Mnangagwa, returning from his week's absence, then promised that "heads will roll" if it emerged that security forces had committed abuses. But the crackdown has continued.
Such contradictions have prompted discussion of internal divisions and of whether Mr Mnangagwa or the vice-president, Constantino Chiwenga, who helped install him, have driven the hard line. Overt military intervention looks like a sign of the army's increased confidence. But observers also suspect a "good cop, bad cop" strategy. Blaming individuals is a diversion, as Mr Mugabe's departure should have shown already. Zanu-PF's elite live off the system and have few prospects outside it, but have long been riven by the struggle for power and resources. While factions rise and fall, no one inside the structure shows an interest in loosening its grip on power. As a prominent member of the Movement for Democratic Change has observed, "You can't reform without reformers".
This makes it all the more important that others in Zimbabwe are supported. Mr Mnangagwa appears more concerned about international opinion – and the cash flows affected by it – than his predecessor. That provides an opportunity. Leaders must press Zimbabwe to halt this violence and retaliation. To lift sanctions at this moment, as the South African president, Cyril Ramaphosa, has proposed, would send the wrong signal. The US measures are targeted at individuals; their removal is conditional on human rights improvements; and their impact on the economy is negligible compared with that caused by widespread corruption. In contrast, US aid that was cut off last year should be restored to Zimbabwean rights groups, some of which are dealing now with the terrible results of the violence. The people who got Zimbabwe into this economic and political disaster cannot be expected to get it out of it.


There are many types of electric or hybrid vehicles on the market today including hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and battery electric vehicles (BEVs). The table below  illustrates the differences between these. More information on electric vehicles, charging stations and national trends can be found by visiting: Plug In America.
EVs have many advantages over conventional gasoline vehicles.
Energy efficient. EVs convert about 59%-62% of the electrical energy from the grid to power at the wheels. On the other hand, conventional vehicles only convert 17-21% of energy stored in gasoline to power at the wheels . This means that EVs are cheaper to operate. With $1, EVs can travel more than twice as far as a gasoline-powered vehicle .
Environmentally friendly. EVs emit no air pollutants, but the power plant that produces the electricity may emit them if they are using conventional energy sources such as coal or natural gas. Electricity from renewable energy sources such as solar and wind produces no air pollutants.
Reduced energy dependence. Because electricity is a domestic energy source, EVs reduce dependence on foreign energy sources.
Battery cost. The large battery packs are expensive and may need to be replaced throughout the life of the vehicle.
Bulk & weight. Battery packs are heavy and take up space.
Evanston has several public and private EV charging stations throughout the city. See the list of public stations below, which provide EV charging for FREE. The City currently tracks and publishes charging station usage data for six City-owned stations, relevant data can be found at City-owned Electric Vehicle Charging Station Usage.
All public, private, and residential charging stations can be found using PlugShare's interactive map on desktop or by downloading their app.
To report issues with any of the public EV charging stations, please call 3-1-1.

'Fireball' meteor seen in skies above Japan
The fireball was spotted across Japan (Pic: NHK World)
A fireball spotted falling from the night sky over parts of western and central Japan has lit up social media, with users sharing images of the unusually bright shooting star.
Local media said the fireball was believed to be a bolide, an extremely bright meteor that explodes in the atmosphere.
"We believe the last burst of light was as bright as the full moon," Takeshi Inoue, director of the Akashi Municipal Planetarium, told Kyodo news agency.
The fireball was visible for just a few seconds in the early hours of Sunday.
However, it was caught on cameras owned by national broadcaster NHK, which generally capture earthquake activity rather than extraterrestrial light shows.

"The sky went bright for a moment and I felt strange because it couldn't be lightning," said one Twitter user who saw the fireball. "I felt the power of the universe!"
"Was that a fireball? I thought it was the end of the world..." said another, tweeting a video of the meteor captured while driving.
A similarly bright shooting star was spotted over Tokyo in July and later identified as a meteor, fragments of which were found in neighbouring Chiba prefecture.


And Mackay reserved special praise for Aaron Ramsey, who joined Arsenal from Cardiff in 2008, when just 17.
"He's a very good young player - he's one of the best," said Mackay.
Both sides are on 13 points and Mackay concedes there is a lot at stake.

The goal of the self-reflection (or self-assessment) Tool is to catalyze a reflective and creative inquiry-based, year-long or multi-year process to create and enhance a school`s work to become more safe and supportive for the entire school community (including but not limited to: students, staff, families, and community partners). This tool is intended to assist with documenting current practices that support students` behavioral health ranging from the whole school community to individual students that require more intensive supports. It also examines the role of various school professionals and staff in providing these supports. This process enables schools to identify their most pressing local priorities and create action plans that can be incorporated into School Improvement Plans to address these priorities. It may be helpful to revisit your school`s responses to this tool on a regular (e.g., quarterly, annual) basis to review progress and continually work towards full implementation on a range of practices that address and remove the barriers to learning.
This tool was developed by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (Department), in consultation with the Safe and Supportive Schools Commission and others in the field, and will be updated periodically over time. The most recent version was updated in late fall 2018 and is the default version on this site. The prior version, created by the Department in consultation with the 2008-2011 Behavioral Health and Public Schools Task Force is also available through this site (as the pre-Nov. 2018 version).

Stephanie Gilmore (AUS) has won the final event of the 2017 World Surf League (WSL) Championship Tour (CT), the Maui Women's Pro, today in four foot (1.2 metre) conditions at Honolua Bay after the competition saw the exciting conclusion of the Women's World Title race yesterday.
Six-time WSL Champion Gilmore locked in her 26th Championship Tour victory today after wins over Malia Manuel (HAW) in the Final, newly-crowned WSL Champion Tyler Wright (AUS) in the Semifinals, and Silvana Lima (BRA) in the Quarterfinals.
Gilmore was the first to build her scoreline during the Final and take the advantage. Manuel locked in a 7.30 (out of a possible 10) but was not able to find a significant back-up. Meanwhile, the 6X WSL Champion continued to post scores and slowly increase her lead. Three-big turns for Gilmore on her final wave gave her an 8.53 and sealed her victory.
Newly crowned WSL Champion Tyler Wright (AUS) bowed out in Semifinal 1 at the hands of Gilmore, despite an exciting last-minute exchange. Wright, who claimed back-to-back world titles yesterday following a Quarterfinal win over wildcard Brisa Hennessy (HAW), couldn't match Gilmore's near-perfect 9.77 and was eliminated in equal 3rd place.
Bronte Macaulay (AUS) delivered the best result of her rookie season today by securing a Semifinal appearance at the Maui Women's Pro. The young Australian was defeated by eventual runner-up Manuel in Semifinal 2 and finishes out the 2017 season in 15th place on the Jeep Leaderboard thanks to the breakthrough performance.
The final stop on the men's WSL CT, the Billabong Pipe Masters, opens December 8 and runs through December 20, 2017.

Арефино – деревня на территории Николо-Кормской сельской администрации Покровского сельского поселения Рыбинского района Ярославской области .

Деревня расположена на расстоянии около 2 км на запад от посёлка Великий Мох, на расстоянии около 6 км от автомобильной дороги  на участке Углич-Рыбинск, на восток от расположенного на дороге села Никольское. Дорога к деревне идёт на юго-восток от северо-восточной окраины села Никольского, по правому берегу реки Корма, проходит мимо деревни Григорково, пересекает приток Кормы Крюковку и далее следует по левому берегу Крюковки через Липки, откуда поворачивает на север на Арефино. Отсутствие транспортного сообщения с посёлком Великий Мох представляет серьёзную проблему, планируется строительство новой дороги на посёлок через Мешково и Липки. Это позволяет частично использовать уже существующие на этом направлении участки дорог  и очевидно улучшит и транспортную доступность Арефино.

Деревня Арефина указана на плане Генерального межевания Рыбинского уезда 1792 года.

На 1 января 2007 года в деревне проживало 2 человека. . По почтовым данным в деревне 9 домов .

Транспортная связь по дороге Р-104, автобус связывает деревню с Рыбинском, Мышкиным и Угличем. Администрация сельского поселения и центр врача общей практики находится в посёлке Искра Октября, почтовое отделение в селе Покров  (оба по дороге в сторону Рыбинска).

Atheists should shut up!
This is the main board for discussing philosophy - formal, informal and in between.

Re: Atheists should shut up!
by Ecmandu » Mon Mar 02, 2020 10:41 pm
Atheism is a very simple belief. People often describe god as omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent.
However, the most important "Omni" is omnibenevolent.
Without the last one, none of the other three matter to people... omnibenevolent is the ONLY omnistate that means anything to anyone!
All you have to do to scientifically verify this state is to ask yourself "is my consent being violated in any way?"
If it is, an omnibenevolent being doesn't exist.
Thus: atheism
Can an omnibenevolent being ever exist?
Perhaps. But we know that such a being has never previously existed.
by surreptitious75 » Tue Mar 03, 2020 9:04 am
Omnibenevolence is generally not included with the other three omnis and so cannot be the most important one
They are all however assumed values with no real awareness of the relationship that exists between them at all
Else it would be quickly realised that omnipotence and omnibenevolence for example are actually incompatible

Tab wrote: Whoo, English lesson, feels like work.
Ok, 'believe' is a verb, as in "I believe I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky." A verb is a 'doing' word. As in "Hey Arc, what do you do in the mornings..?" "Well Tab, I - insert verb here, for example 'wake up' or 'watch' (the news)."
A noun is the name of something. Tab is a noun, so is Arcturus. Verbs also have noun forms. Usually they are just the verb+ing, like the names of activities such as 'playing tennis' which is handy. For example, I like ice-cream (noun), my wife (noun), and playing tennis (noun form of verb). Sure, I could just say "I like Tennis." But maybe I don't like Tennis much to watch, but I do like to play, so saying " I like playing Tennis." is closer to the truth for me. Sometimes nouns are different from the verbs though. Think-> (a) thought. Or know-> (some) knowledge. Or Believe-> (have/hold a) belief.
So 'belief' is a noun form of believe. As in Joe believes that 1) fairies exist. 2) fairies have wings. 3) Tinkerbell is a popular fairy name. So Joe has 3 beliefs about fairies. Think of them as 3 bits of paper with 'wings' 'exist' and 'Tinkerbell' written on them and Joe has them in his pocket. Except the pocket is in his brain. It's a fairy brain pocket.
Joe however, is sceptical about Trolls. He doesn't believe that 1) trolls exist in the wild. 2) or that bridges have trolls. 3) or that there used to be a troll under his bed that stole his socks even though his mum told him that once.
Joe's Troll brain pocket has 3 pieces of paper with 'don't exist' 'not under bridges' and 'not under beds' written on them. 3 beliefs about trolls.
Thank you for the lesson, Tab. It was very edifying.
What do You believe was Camus' meaning by the below:
"I do not believe in God and I am not an atheist."
― Albert Camus, Notebooks 1951-1959
Was he addressing the atheist here? Was he saying that, despite that, he could never be certain either way?
Was he addressing those who need to label everything?
by Tab » Tue Mar 03, 2020 9:44 pm
well, my first instinct was to say,
"Eh, he was a philosopher, he got paid to say weird paradoxical shit like that."
But giving him the benefit of the doubt, if still no points for clarity, perhaps he was saying he's like me, agnostic. I don't believe in god, but I don't go round making a big deal about it. It's like mobile phones, I get why people have them, but I don't like them, so I don't have one. I'm not a rampant Aphoneist.
Was he anti-labelist. Is labelling everything bad..? Hard to make tea if you just throw random stuff in the pot and add a random boiling liquid. But I get what you mean, imposing labels on things that may not be comfortable with them is not always good.
Camus said other stuff in the same vein though.
"I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't -- than live my life as if there isn't (a God) and die to find out there is"
Which sounds awfully like he took Pascal's wager. Which is something I don't agree with because of the hidden costs to abiding by a religion you don't believe in. It's not free, you do have something to lose.
I dunno. Depends what he meant by "living a life as if there was a god" if he meant a life of lip-service and hypocrisy where each virtuous act is done purely from a fear of punishment and/or the expectation of a reward at the end... then fuck that guy frankly. But if he meant a life that was 'good' and lived that way because you've decided living that way is a good thing in and of itself, with or without a god at the end - then yeah, I think that is probably the way I try to live also. Sometimes successfully, sometimes not so much.
God goes a long way to making 'living a good life' meaningful. Without a god, all lives are ultimately equally meaningless, and all ways of living equal. Saint or serial killer, doesn't matter. Get born, do stuff, die. Same same. No scoreboard, no points, no rubric.
Without god, you have to do all the heavy existentialist lifting by yourself, and create your own meaning. It's hard work to live a good life without a lil' angel on your shoulder, especially when you get overtaken by complete bastards. And I'd like to be able to put my hand on my heart and say that it is this element of hard work that makes it an admirable choice, to live life on hard mode rather than regular, but again, get born do stuff die. Same same. Important to note here I mean actively choosing to be good, not simply being good by default because you are too cowardly to do bad. I mean being the good monster.
That's a bit bleak. I think one of the major keys to happiness is finding enough good people to surround yourself with who will accept you because, by being good yourself, you've kinda paid the entrance fee. You have to be good first though, you don't get into the good people club by being an arsehole at the door but promising the bouncer you'll suddenly become good inside later. Good people are selfish that way. But sensibly so.
Damn I forgot the question lol.
Ok. If I (gun to the head etc.) had to make a choice - no particular religious trappings required, just a yes or no on the god question - between being a theist, or an atheist, I'd choose theist. Because of the two, it's the more hopeful choice. A theist on death, has the possibilty of being proven right, but an atheist only ever has the possibility of being proven wrong. That makes atheism the more stupid choice. So maybe Camus was just implying atheists are dumbasses.
by tentative » Tue Mar 03, 2020 11:19 pm
[s][/s]Arc and Tab, can I weigh in on this? The cool thing about Camus is that he leaves you finding your own answers. I can agree or disagree with anything he ever said and he doesn't give a shit. It's that implied dunno that makes him his own giant.
Theists and atheists.... They are all fucked in the head. Maybe it isn't their fault but I'm sort of big on personal responsibility and I don't cut them any slack. Both positions are based on fear - fear that there is a god and fear that there isn't. It is the perfect solution to giving up freedom and accepting slavery. Hey, it's not my fault cause God is - isn't. The pile of excuses for absentee responsibility approaches infinity. Is this a bit harsh? Probably. But the fuckers won't stay off my lawn so fuck them very much.
Agnosticism... It really is fairly simple but requires a lot of courage to say "I DON'T KNOW" and then get on with it. "Oh my! life has no meaning." Bullshit. You have to CREATE meaning for yourself. Yeah, it ain't easy. It's damn hard work but it's doable - mostly. How to find meaning? Damned if I know, but I've managed somehow and it has nothing to do with anyone but me. It's nice to recognize others who have managed to thread the needle but ultimately, I'm just me. Nothing special and I accept responsibility for that.
On labels... The problem with labels is that they create edges and boundaries. As an agnostic I avoid labeling wherever possible but labels do have localized utility. It's difficult to avoid is - isn't. Still, the larger picture remains in the "I don't know" field of view.
So how's that? I do enjoy babbling now and then.

Actually, omnibenevolence is THE very most important one —- which is why it's not mentioned. It's the most important and can be immediately falsified by even a fucking stone on the ground!
Actually, it is mentioned in EVERY religion is "god is good"
by iambiguous » Wed Mar 04, 2020 1:31 am
This reflects the futility of trying to approach religion as though it actually did revolve around being reasonable.
The problem here of course is that the religious folks can always fall back on God working in mysterious ways. Sure, it seems that, over and over again, God is really a rather sadistic son of a bitch. Look at the coronavirus. Or extinction events.
But what can we mere mortals possibly know about "the will of God".
Besides, only with religion do we attain both immortality and salvation.
It's God or oblivion, right?

Those edges and boundaries however are merely descriptive as no definition is absolute
Also on balance it is better to have some definition [ even a loose one ] than none at all

Iambiguous,
To me, immortality is a given. God has no part in this given, just like god didn't create a triangle.
It's been said that the whole point of philosophy is to teach us how to die... I disagree. The whole point is to teach us how to live forever.
The point of philosophy is to make sure that the right type of questions are being asked
But accepting death is certainly something to consider given it will happen to everyone
Ecmandu wrote: Iambiguous,
In other words, if you believe something about God "in your head" that [apparently] need be as far you go by way of demonstrating that it is true.
This, in my view, is predicated either on the manner in which your thinking is derived from what may or may not be a "mental condition", or you are of sound mind but just another run of mill objectivist.
To have "a point" about immortality is no where near the same thing as being able to show others how, given the things they choose to think, feel, say, and do, will actually result in them living forever.
Believing in immortality does not of course make it true no matter how strong the belief is
But if it is really that strong then you have already convinced yourself that it must be true
surreptitious75 wrote: Believing in immortality does not of course make it true no matter how strong the belief is
It's basic logic.
If we ever cease to exist in the future, we would cease to exist now, as the we now is a subset of our we forever.
Think about it: YOU die a trillion years from now. That means YOU'D be dead right now as now is a subset of the totality of YOU.
God didn't create this and god can't destroy it.
by tentative » Wed Mar 04, 2020 10:10 am
Ummm... Your basic logic depends heavily on your assumptions that YOU have to exist in an afterlife. There just might be a different immortality assuming that YOU cease to exist upon death and yet remain immortal. Every atom, every particle of what was YOU can never be destroyed because all that was YOU is a subset of the universe no matter what forms those atoms may take a trillion years from now. The universe may not recognize any such YOU, only the ebb and flo of energy/material states over billions of years.
It's basic logic.
I commune with the spirit world everyday, and have for the past 12 years. I know continuity of consciousness exists after.
Actually, I want to expound upon my last post:
viewtopic.php?p=2761045#p2761045
If continuity of consciousness ever dies for YOU!!! You wouldn't be here right now, as the YOU right now is merely a subset of that continuity of consciousness.
Obviously, if we just become atoms that disperse, we are no longer a continuity of consciousness. Which means that our past is erased as well. But! From that perspective we are in our past right now, and we're still here.
I don't think you understand what true death is:
We!!!!!!!! Never existed!!!

We always pretty much agreed on stuff, don't see any reason to stop now.
So I've had 5 years to mull over what little of the Dao managed to sink into my bones from back in the day. Now the kids have grown up a bit, and my son has read the Dao as well, he turned to me after he'd finished and said "I kinda get it now, why you've let me make up my own mind on a lot of stuff, not bullshitted me about the big stuff and not really set a lot of rules. You were being non-coercive."
I really hadn't thought about it much to be honest - I'm not really the kind of person to ever have sat down and said to myself, "Hah, now to carry out my plan to raise Daoist superchild." But seems like that's what I've been doing lol. I can't take much of the credit, beyond paying attention, not shirking the hard conversational topics, and letting them run and fall on their asses. My kids were always good kids. For which I am eternally grateful.

Ecmandu wrote: Actually, I want to expound upon my last post:
I really don't know how to get through to you that your logic is built on sand. I'm sure that you believe in something called "a continuity of consciousness" but forgive me, I and a lot of other folks aren't convinced based on your say so. When you can summon someone from your spirit world with tangible proof of an afterlife then perhaps I'll believe as you do. Until then, I'm quite comfortable saying "I don't know."
Hopefully, you can see that we are playing the "I say potato, you say...." game. It is the ultimate in futility so I'll just bow out. Have a nice day.
So sending you that Daoist translation planted a seed. Now, you are stuck with a two-headed alligator. Wonderful! I raised three of 'em and they are whole people who will always be survivors to the bitter end. That's pretty much all we can ask for. So go ahead and be a proud parent (no bumper stickers on the car). Just remember that the kids grew up as much in spite of us as opposed to because of us...
Continuity of consciousness is an elementary concept.
It's self evident: you remember that it was YOU who did that when YOU were ten years old.
If YOU ever cease to exist, then the YOU now couldn't be here, as the YOU now is an extension of the totality.
I know you're trying to sound clever, as an antagonist, arguing for the sake of arguing itself...
The logic is flawless. It's also borne of many peoples direct experience (though not yours)
Must admit Ecmandu, I've never really gotten a grasp of your - eh can't even think of a name that fits - theory.
Do you mean somehow that as we age, or if that's a contextually meaningless concept, move through time, all the past iterations of our consciousness, all those momentary holographic 'me-nows' are somehow stored and embodied..? And that our 'deaths' or otherwise 'ceasings to be' would obviously obliviate these and yet we still constantly experience these me-nows in every moment and from this we must somehow deduce that we can't possibly have died in some future 'yet to be' because we are still here in the present, experiencing me-nows already stored and embodied by some still existent future self..?
Plz more explains plz.

I'll tell you something about this:
I don't believe in past incarnations.
I think we are magnets (resonant frequencies) drawing from an infinity of memories that never die.
I think this is a confusion of Buddhism — that our memories of these lives mean that those memories are ours!
In fact, I'm positive of this.
We are each individual "YOUS"
That cannot, nor ever will be taken away from us.

Read my last post!
I'm going to tell you a story you may not believe.
I had a panic disorder that started when I was 16 years old. I had this disorder for 11 years straight. Most people talk about having a panic attack that lasts a few hours a few times a year.
I can tell you! This was not my experience. I had a panic attack 24 hours a day for 365 days of the year for 11 years straight.
Panic attacks make you feel like you are on the verge of death every second.
Is it any wonder that feeling like I was dying all the time, that I declared, "death is my teacher"?
I met death 14 years later. That's an experience I'll never forget.
To me, these experiences are illusion and not reality, to me, god and death are just PEOPLE!!!
Death is mean as fuck, but resurrected me 3 times after people murdered me... not god... death resurrected me.
Death liked me because of my teaching that the solution to ethics was to make it as easy to commit suicide and homicide as possible and whoever survives is fit to survive. Actually, death is my best friend.
Like I said, death is a cruel, cruel teacher.
At the ripe age of 43, I have become insanely wise, wise enough to know that death is trying to cause enough of a stir to get god to intervene and send everyone to heaven. That's why death tortures and torments people. For the greater good.
Now, you must understand again, my perspective is that these beings aren't embodied archetypes, but just people, people with lots of power, but not enough power to be the non consent violators of existence.
And they know that I know this.
So we have me death and god, me being able to pull the veil on this narrative and say they're full of shit.
I've met every conceivable god, and judged them as all full of shit, and they respect me for teaching them this. Every being likes clarity.
So that's some of my story that I told you, that you wouldn't believe.
I was deaths greatest student.
by surreptitious75 » Thu Mar 05, 2020 10:33 am
You make these ridiculous claims all the time but you cannot provide any evidence for them
The reason for this is because they are obviously unfalsifiable but I also think they are false
Are you trying to convince yourself or everyone else they are true because if its the latter nobody believes you you know
I would say that the panic attacks you experienced are responsible for the way you are now thinking and no other reason

In situ attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, ATR-FTIR and in situ conductance measurements offer information on structure, electronic, and conductance changes during doping and electropolymerization of conducting polymers. In this paper, we report the in situ recording of the conductance changes during cyclic voltammetry measurements (electropolymerization and the subsequent doping) of N-methylaniline (NMA). The vibrational spectra of poly(N-methylaniline) (PNMA) show specific and characteristic features not only related to its chemical structure, but also to the existence of free charge carriers delocalized along the pi-electron network. Results from both in situ conductance and in situ ATR-FTIR have brought us a better understanding of electronic properties and the nature of charge carriers of PNMA film synthesized in acidic aqueous solutions.
