I agree, I wish things worked that way. If he loses, he can just pay to play again until he wins. People are confused and exploited in every place that has people, and someone else will come along to prey upon folks, because it is always personally advantageous.

Why do the representatives of this place not reflect the wishes of their constituents?

It may be a toxic environment to you, but it’s full of vital nutrition for me. I guess you could find a new place where you fit in more easily.

Weird

Why not?

To claim that consciousness could be an illusion is a self-contradictory statement as consciousness is where illusions appear.

This sounds a lot like the “did the chicken come before the egg or the other way around” God is defined as the progenitor of existence, but if something preceded or even paralleled God before existence, then that would have to be the real God instead, based on the ontological definition. That was confusing, but I only mention it because if you could have a “consciousness” which perceives another consciousness as illusory, (like one I could download into a machine) then your own “awareness” is just as relatively illusory as the first one.

Like, the universe comes from God, and some would say that you can’t have one without the other. And our perception of the world stems from a consciousness, and some would say you can’t have one without the other. I just wanted to talk about the problems that arise when you form a recursive pattern with these foundational ideas. What is really behind consciousness? Can consciousness lie to you? Of course. Should you stop trusting your consciousness? Not completely, you would become a vegetable. Bed sores hurt.

I’m just kinda rambling, but thank you for posting this stimulating topic. This consciousness appreciates it.

inescapable

I am sorry that you feel this way.

Quickly, get the horses out of Israel!

Hey, bone spurs can cause a lot of pain and discomfort.

Excess carbon emissions, shortens all lives.

You all should have a better reason to stay

Oh I’m sorry, I did not understand your point. Freely donating most of one’s wealth and possessions for the better good is helpful, but it is not, nor has it ever been a principle encouraged by Sanders.

When you describe capitalism as “free to do with it what ever he want(s)” we have to acknowledge that money is limited by all kinds of laws, such as ones that disallow the purchasing of slaves, and limit the amount gifted to a political candidate.

The problem occurs when very few people have access to excess capital, or economic energy, which would grant them more power than the limitations created by the government could control.

Sanders’ political ideology is not Communism. He identifies as a Democratic Socialist, and is in favor on expanding the rights of education and healthcare through taxation.

That is a great resource and I’m sure Sanders’ lifetime earnings would be a fine contribution to their 1,400 clinics.

After that runs out, wouldn’t it have been more effective in the long run to encourage the younger generation to organize against inequalities on a systemic level?

Thank you for your opinion

Sweetheart, who would he donate it to?

Sure, but he would rather everyone have access to affordable healthcare. That’s the artificial limitation imposed by U.S. Drug manufacturers.
