I won't have to tell you. There will be a universal celebration as the Great Transition begins making its way toward a lasting peace. Unfortunately, it might not happen in our lifetime at the rate we're going.  |
Maybe for the very young. But if world peace does happen it will have nothing to do whatsoever with Lessans, unless perhaps the bad guys read his book and laugh themselves to death. |
Nope, your're just too cynical to even imagine the possibility of peace, therefore if a person claims that this type of world is not only possible, but inevitable, your conclusion is that he must not have his head screwed on tight. Happily, that isn't the case.  |

Actually, it shows your dysfunction more than mine. You can't even entertain the idea of something falling outside of the limits of your worldview. It's funny but sad at the same time. Lessans said that he had nothing to do with this knowledge except for being at the end of a line of thought that came before him. He didn't take pride in what he was able to accomplish. He was not an arrogant man, as I've said a thousand times. Lessans has already been the object of pity and hilarity; it can't get any worse; therefore, it can only get better. I still maintain that the reason you are so up in arms is because you don't believe peace is possible. |
Actually I did entertain it. And I found it entertaining. That appears to be the consensus. If you and Lessans were going for comedy of some kind then you did it.
As far as the possibility of peace, I am very confident that one day there will be peace on earth, whether it includes mankind or not. But it will have nothing to do with Lessans and his dead end knowledge. |
I am referring specifically to human beings, not robots, when I speak of peace on earth. |
peavegirl, if you are after peace then the best thing you could possible do is stop posting on the internet or change the subject. Your efforts of the last ten years have not made things peaceful for you or anyone else.
Get help peavegirl. |
You can't stop posting for the life of you, but you're telling me to stop? You're an enigma!  |
peavegirl, you may not have noticed, but I've been posting here for awhile. In any case I am not the one who wants to bring peace to the world by bringing everyone I come into contact with to the point where they either call me a liar or crazy. That would be an enigma, if it wasn't so obvious that you are out of your mind.
You really should get help peavegirl. |
Your thoughts about me is all in your head NA. So who is crazy now? I think you've talked to too many robots.   |

And unless you are the robot in question, I have not talked with any robots.

Well you must be a robot wannabe because you sound like one. And for your information just because the majority thinks one way does not mean the minority is wrong. Keep that in mind. |

There is no inconsistency in these claims. And aren't you a little premature to say that the claim should happen but does not happen, when this law has not even been recognized yet?

What's so stupid about a dialogue that is meant to clarify a very difficult concept? That was the whole purpose of writing it in dialogue. And what countless assumptions -- based on silly misunderstandings of the definitions of the very terms they use and claim are crucial -- are being made? All Lessans was doing was defining terms that actually correspond with reality.

I am trying in every possible way to explain why man's will is not free. Man cannot move in the direction of dissatisfaction if a better alternative is available to him based on his particular circumstances. I have been trying desperately to show that this is not a tautology or a modal fallacy, but rather a very important observation. Even if we choose to die rather than live because of circumstances that compel us to choose this option, it is still a movement away from a dissatisfying position to a more satisfying position. It is not a movement from a dissatisfying position to a more dissatisfying position.

You are assuming that Lessans is wrong because he was positive he was right. If you were in front of some big scientist, and he was just as positive, you wouldn't make these comments. By the same token, if someone you respected told you that Lessans was right, your whole attitude would change. It's only because he's an unknown, and because these are extraordinary claims, that you immediately jump to the conclusion that this is a joke of some kind.
