Re: So-called evidence of a parallel universe
Judging by the post to which you're replying, he doesn't vote in elections and, more generally, affects the position of not regarding himself as a member of the human race. This fits with the general "I've got all the answers and they're all very simple and you're all blinded by your education and your assumptions" shtick. A while ago, when I was still wasting time talking to him, there were instances where it became clear that having all these simple answers to the world's puzzles relied on not taking account of the fact that other human beings exist. Solving the world's problems is quite easy if we can do that.Pattern-chaser wrote:These things are done, on your behalf (and that of every other citizen) by the elected representatives we all voted for.

Indeed. Without us, the world would be a better place for all the other living creatures. The ones that still survive, that is.

ken/Age/creation/evolution believes that the universe can proclaim absolutely certain TRUTHS through all humans. We all are the universe so we all have access to them, but we have to be fully open for this to work.Steve3007 wrote: ↑May 26th, 2020, 4:08 pmJudging by the post to which you're replying, he doesn't vote in elections and, more generally, affects the position of not regarding himself as a member of the human race.

So when she (he?) claims that she isn't human, then she is sort of the voice of the universe itself. She keeps switching back and forth between talking as the universe and talking as a human.
(or something along these lines)
As for her near-total ignorance about science, philosophy, religion, culture, society, humans, well, pretty much everything, like she was somehow from another planet, she once said that she's an Australian aboriginal which may or may not be true.

And I'd guess something like a 17-21 year old boy from someplace like Burnsville, Minnesota, because who else is going to be so adamant about stuff like having "no beliefs"?

The entire Murdoch family ought to be skinned alive and strung up for the crows to pick clean.
No family has done more damage to the world than them. Hitler and Ghengis Khan were more honest and less harmful.

Re: So-called evidence of a parallel universe
But "we all" did not vote. Obviously only some did. That was my point. The elected representatives, in those highest positions' are put there by those people who vote. So, those of you who vote put those people in those highest positions.Pattern-chaser wrote: ↑May 26th, 2020, 7:35 amThese things are done, on your behalf (and that of every other citizen) by the elected representatives we all voted for.
If you people stopped voting, and stopped making so called "royal" families, then there would not be people in those highest positions.
Obviously people in these positions are NOT needed, anyway.
There is a way, but I am not sure 'you' are ready for this revelation just yet.Pattern-chaser wrote: ↑May 26th, 2020, 7:35 am That's how democracy works. You are one of us; I don't think you can/could be otherwise, do you?
Being "one of us" is also completed different from being "one of those", who put some in the highest positions.

Once you learn what a 'problem' is, from my perspective, and learn how to solve any and ALL problems, then you will also learn just HOW easy and simple solving ALL of the human created problems, correctly and properly, actually IS. But all of this will only happen AFTER 'you' STOP making assumptions and STOP believing the things you do now.
The 'world' itself obviously has NO problems. Only human beings make problems, and thus only human beings have problems. If 'you' want to SEE thee Truth of things, then you at least have to speak thee Truth.

'We all' can be and, most likely, is just usually referring to all human beings, but "we all" can refer to many things. "We all" can also refer to the Universe. It all depends on what the words "we all" is being referred to, which can only be Truly KNOWN when the one who writes and/or says it is asked for clarification. Just assuming what the other is saying, and meaning, can lead one completely astray, as evidenced above.
Also, if you are somewhat closed, and thus NOT fully open, to some thing, then obviously you will not fully learn and understand that thing.
And, if the actual words that I use are noticed, then when this switching back and forth actually takes place can be very easily and simply recognized.
(or something along these lines)
Did I specifically say Australian aboriginal?
What were the EXACT words I used?
