Re: Lars Nielsen's "How the Book of Mormon Came to Pass"
MG. Earlier, I tried to warn you against using Brooks to support your argument without understanding his thesis. Here you use Brooks's quote as an example of how we live in what you call "a closed system": Within a closed system we might agree on some things but not all things because of the “in the...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.
MG, where do you get this "we all live in a closed system" stuff? What does it even mean? I'm having a difficult time following you. edit: Earlier, however, I mentioned that we live within a closed system of perceived reality. And that’s as good as it’s gonna’ get. How the hell is our perception of ...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.
I think that's great. Why don't you go back to the original thread and try to get into the conversation's topic, rather than a meta discussion about the conversation -- (can the conversation ultimately tell us anything since everyone is living a different reality)? I'll tell you what, go back to th...

Re: Lars Nielsen's "How the Book of Mormon Came to Pass"
MG, this is exactly what happens when you superficially throw out concepts without understanding them. When you invoke constructionism, you forfeit any claim to any access to objective truth. Full stop. You cannot claim superior access by invoking God, or the promptings of the spirit. The entire LD...

Re: Lars Nielsen's "How the Book of Mormon Came to Pass"
By the way, I don’t know if you all have either seen, read, or discussed Hardy’s “Annotated Book of Mormon”. It’s worth spending time with. Hey, MG. I hope you're well. I believe that there are more than a few here who will have read the book. Maybe you should start a thread and lead a discussion o...

Re: The Body Keeps the Score (book)
Good recommendations, Xenophon.
Though it's a little dated, for someone experiencing PTSD from combat, I'll add Jonathan Shay's Achilles in Vietnam.

Re: The Body Keeps the Score (book)
In truth, Jersey, I probably would--with the caveats that I listed above. I think that PTSD is too easily shrugged off by a misunderstanding public--a tendency this book certainly attempts to remedy. The book's strengths are that it's well-written and accessible, with a solid core of theory. Its wea...

Re: The Body Keeps the Score (book)
And, with a single post, it seems that I shat all over your thread and made it so that no one else will venture an opinion.
My apologies, Jersey Girl.

1) Can you quote the language in the paper that supports your claim that "cognitive skills begin to decline at age 45?" Jesus Christ, wrong study. https://www.bmj.com/content/344/bmj.d7622 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7812437/ Thomas, once again: 1) You didn’t read either one of the...
