Re: SeN: "Hope for immortality" is a Useful Salve for Childhood "rape and strangulation."

The god of the gaps approach to answering questions works well if one ensures the gaps stay nice and wide. It's a gig, and a gig is a gig is a gig I guess. Given the god of Mormonism is a material being of flesh and bone whose brain is a collection of resurrected neurons, what makes the relationshi...

Re: Election Litigation Scorecard

That makes sense, thanks for going through the effort of a lengthy explanation, too. Her being cut loose for being a liability but also a useful idiot if she's on her own still casting shade on the legitimacy of the election seems logical. It still feels like there's another shoe waiting to drop so ...

Re: Election Litigation Scorecard

Hi Res, What do you think are the odds Sydney Powell being shunted from the Trump legal team and splitting off on her own claim is a tactical move to delay and muddy the waters given there is no actual case to be made? I wonder how much of this is not intended to be a direct attempt at supporting qu...

Re: Biden Takes Georgia; Violence on Horizon

If it comes to a fight, Caleb Fryar is ready. But the 26-year-old son of Brett Fryar, the chiropractor, said he hoped Trump’s fraud allegations would instead spark a massive mobilization of Republican voters in future elections. Do they think it will be that much harder for Dominion to throw out a ...

Re: Biden Takes Georgia; Violence on Horizon

I don't recall why I did it, but some time in 2019 I accepted a request to be added to a Trump campaign email list. For many months it was pretty bland and infrequent. It included dumb content but wasn't providing any hot takes that were ahead of the news cycle reporting on Trump's latest Tweet. Tha...

Re: the more YOU know

I like #5, too. “Look! We put a non-white guy in charge of something!!” Did you know the string of old white guys Trump appointed before Pham were also never approved by the Trump-friendly Republican Senate? Turns out it's bad for Senators to be on the record in some states supporting Trump's borde...

Re: SeN: "Hope for immortality" is a Useful Salve for Childhood "rape and strangulation."

Back to the question, why is progress valuable? Because it benefits individual human beings in the future. Since human beings are subjective at the individual level rather than at the collective level, the future humankind who will reap the benefits of that progress will reap it one individual at a...

Re: SeN: "Hope for immortality" is a Useful Salve for Childhood "rape and strangulation."

Mormonism has a morality problem. On the one hand, it claims morality is founded on laws that are immutable and upon which the blessings of heaven are predicated. Not even God himself can act counter to the laws and rob justice. There is an objective foundation to moral behaviour. But on the other h...
